Please say this is true. Im not one of these who will hate on him. Hes a class act on a bike when he does ride. It was nice to see him mountain biking with Dayle Wood on weekend with a smile on his face.

Here's what I think will happen because it's British Speedway after all where unprofessionalism and under-handed tactics eventually plays a role.   1. Belle Vue will use Guests until Matej Zagar has made a full recovery. 2. Once Matej Zagar is fit we will get a statement from Northampton about how delighted they are to bring Matej Zagar back into their septet only it won't be in place of Jonas Jeppesen, It'll be in place of Jaimon Lidsey because Northampton have been so impressed with Jonas since he joined the Club. 3. Belle Vue then sign Jaimon Lidsey and go on to win the League.

Yes, I miss the World Final, a 20 heat event (with run-offs where needed). And I miss all the qualifying rounds, virtually every track, then the national finals and international qualifiers too. And I miss the Empire Stadium. New Wembley does nothing for me. No doozledogs!   

Jason is nearly a point under Dan and Dan’s CMA is 1-2 points under his  actual 2026 Speedway Star figure so whatever we do it’s no kind of replacement. Looking at final 2025 figures, Jaimon is marginally higher than Jason so if Northampton agreed we could have Jaimon and they could have Jason. A GP man lining up for them might produce a bit of press and we could keep our family intact rather than sign a journey man.

Your right about the fans that turn up are maybe not fussed,but crowd levels have decreased because for a lot of them it is a mickey mouse circus watching the same riders riding for every team in the league over a season. No credibility in the sport .IMO    

Cook will be back for the Oxford meeting this week
