You may just want to check that. I was told this directly by a former Premiership Promoter.

there is no such thing. riders will just ride where they want, as proved by this years rising star picks. 

If my understanding is correct the Lions will have the last but one pick based on finishing runner up in the Grand Final. And remember that if a rising star is picked earlier in the ballot and turns down the offer they are automatically withdrawn from that years r/s scheme.

Thanks for the info flagrag, Only thing that made sense. Fricke is a perfect fit for King's Lynn or Northampton, Clubs who aren't seriously going to challenge for Premiership glory. For a club like Leicester the GSA is no good, Leicester would have to release all of Doulgas, Masters and Becker and replace them with 3 riders on 5.50 just to fit Max in.

I remember him riding in that meeting, I think you knew then he was going to become top class. If a Russian kid can turn up at Rye House and win comfortably, it's impressive. It was great when he eventually came to the UK, he really seemed to embrace British speedway and for the most part gave it 100%. Always thought it was a shame he never rode in the GPs during most of his peak years - his first couple of seasons battling with Nicki were top entertainment.

If the Championship clubs are doing alright but the Premiership needs to continually drag teams up against their will, it feels like there's a lesson in there somewhere. Anyway, isn't it time that Dua Lipa stops thinking about her own marriage going well, and consider what would be best for me instead?
