I have no doubt Monarchs top 2 would be one of the weaker combinations if it is Sedgmen / Riss. BUT in "my team" Monarchs could have a reserve stronger than 4 of Glasgow's riders, 3 or 4 of Oxford's riders & 3 of Poole's riders for example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The surprise could actually be that there no surprises, but have a feeling there may be at least one, otherwise what would be the "exciting news" that was promised earlier ? Is that a plus? While Max is promising, it's probably gonna be a season too early for him to step up & I think he'll have the lowest NL ave of any 2.00 riders stepping up this year. So Monarchs could once again have the weakest rider in the league riding for them. Is it worth having a "fresh face" if they're out of their depth. For Max & Edinburgh's sake I hope the step up isn't too much for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have got to remember this is why the League was watered down to bring young talent, he will be racing other young talent,time will tell who makes the most progress.Someone has to have ‘ the lowest average’.

Endeavour 681 Posted December 18, 2023 Sedgy is not a number one. Didn’t set the heather on fire his second spell for us. Great on his day but lacks consistency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Wolbert was certainly on my wish list when first heard about the "exciting news". Now that would be exciting - maybe not very likely ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szkocjasid 3,027 Posted December 18, 2023 Nathan Ablitt recently said in the Speedway Star that Armadale was jos favourite track, if he's not back at Scunthorpe could he be a possible number 6? Connor Coles would still be my first choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
