Will Cairns is in! 3 riders werent in attendance - AR, PS and RL-although Rocketman did a live video link ( with baby crying in the background), confirming his Pirates and Krakow contracts for 2026. I haven't had a full debrief yet on what the others said.

Personally think Perry and hodder at reserve makes perfect sense. Wouldn’t have such a weak number 2 though, but if both stayed at reserve all year they could both really kick on 

I wouldn't bring back Thomsen 1. Thompson  8.50 2. Harrison 4.97 (13.47) 3. Castagna 7.05 (20.52) 4. Gusts 5.49 (26.01) 5. Sedgmen 7.34 (33.35) 6. Juhl Pedersen 4.00 (37.35) 7. Loftus 2.14 (39.49) Would leave a little bit of wiggle room incase somebody isnt pulling their weight, average drop etc.

Waiting for confirmation of a TV deal I suspect. Lots of championship signings have been announced but none in the premiership?

Pollestad - top talent.

Chris Louis is clearly ahead of the game, and is the brightest, most forward thinking, promoter out there... Interesting that, in the main, the tracks that are run as "proper businesses" (that pay your mortgage), seem to be more successful than those which are ran by well meaning enthusiasts, who seem happy to use the sport as their own expensive recreational hobby...
