I think BV should go for Klindt, He's a good rider when he's at the right club. Nicolai tends to struggle when he finds himself at new tracks that he's never ridden before like Oxford and Northampton.

The priority for me is Cairns or Rushen now. Reserves were a big issue this year and it could be deja vu if we don't pick up one of the promoising young Brits.

I know, But he's far more reliable than a flaky foreign rider who's never ridden a British track as well as a CHAMP Rider on a CHAMP GSA around the 3.5 mark. We got burnt this year with Hellstrom-Bangs and Juhl Pedersen. With this ruling imo it makes Cairns just as important as Heat Leaders.

In the Speedway Star, Rohan Tungate says he is open for a UK place next season.. 5.89 average... The Aces must be interested I would imagine..

It looks to me like the u21 riders (essentially your reserves) are now far more valuable than anyone else in the team. Cue u21s wanting number 1 money. Its all well and good in Poland where there are lots of talented u21 riders, but there are much fewer in Britain and riders tend to develop later. You don't have to dig too far before you are looking at having 2026 NDL riders being asked to jump into the Premiership just to fill a quota

I’m struggling to follow your first sentence but you think you are referenceing Cook’s back wheel throwing up mud from the centre green. Now, I’ll admit in all the photos and replays I’ve not seen that but even if I had, so what? A tyre can be touching both the white line and the track or centre green at the same time and so throw up both white and non white particles. Or, all white or all non white. That doesn’t prove whether or not the wheel crossed the inside of the white line. Note, crossed, not crossing. If I’m going from one side of a road to another and I have one foot on the road and one on the pavement, I’m crossing. If I have both feet on the pavement, I’ve crossed.  Zach’s back wheel was certainly crossing and it certainly looks like that he could have had part of his rear tyre over the inner part of the white line, but I’ve seen nothing that says it crossed all the way over.  As far as Cairns is concerned, it was up to the Scunthorpe personnel to contact the referee about it. It appears they didn’t and the referee didn’t see it. As no one from Scunthorpe objected at the time, it seems that Godfrey, Howe, the Clerk of the Course or anyone else from Scunthorpe saw it. Or bothered about it.  But, going down the speculation route, if they had seen it and if Cairns had been excluded, where’s the guarantee that every subsequent heat, home and away would have gone as they did? Maybe the overall result at Scunthorpe would have been different but who’s to say that the result at Poole wouldn’t have changed? There are too many variables to make any statement other than over 31 heats Poole came out on top.
