JanAndersen 822 Posted October 1, 2023 I’d like to see Sedgy and Riss back. If we could fit in the evil twin (assuming he’s not serving a lengthy ban) then that would be a very decent top three. I’d like Jacob back and Paco too maybe as he’s a bit of a bargain average wise. Kye hasn’t progressed as much as he should have so I could see us leaving him out next season.

Sedgy is up and down like a fiddler’s elbow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlicktrackSandy 71 Posted October 1, 2023 Reckon we could just about squeeze this 7 under the 40 point limit ( TBC ) Wolbert - Riss - Worrall - Palovaara - Castagna - Hook - Clegg Probably pie in the sky stuff but on paper looks interesting enough ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing official about it. By comparison: British Speedway website - he's referred to as Josh. In the Monarchs programme, it's Josh.

I've always been annoyed at the use of inaccurate ID. It goes back a number of years. For example, several tracks have printed / announced riders by referring to them as: Dalle Andersson (instead of Daniel) Thomas Jonasson (missing the vital H in the middle) Rusty Harrison (instead of Russell) Willie Lawson (instead of William) Paco Castagna (instead of Michele) The list is endless. A poor show. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted October 1, 2023 I’d keep paco and Bastian. Would potentially give Craig another chance if he’s back in good health. The rest can go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely no way can we consider giving Cook a place. He has my sympathy re. his health issues but his absence was total pain in the neck this season and it would be a total gamble.

Taking 4 points off is a lot! But assuming it is to phase out doubling up for top end riders. Doubling up should just be for riders transitioning from Champ to Prem to see if they are ready for it, especially if they are widening the gap. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Biffa 84 Posted October 2, 2023 Rumour I’ve heard is 36 for 6 with a No 7 of 2points/ under 21/24/ British rider. Who knows. Take your pick on a No7 option Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
