Zach was riding superbly at the end of the season and he rode well with Rich, I understand not breaking up the partnership but I don't see why Lewi could not ride with Anders, surely worth trying in some fixtures that were not so important. Anders is just not as good as Zach, he may have a higher average but that was due was due to Zach having a few off nights earlier in the season. 

That's not what Pareto's Law suggests 🤔

The trouble is when you remove the big hitters all the others move up and subsequently start asking for an increase due to riding at number one and this happens throughout the new team. They don’t get Emil money but they get more than they were worth as their value has increased overnight due to supply and demand. IMO it’s not 7 or 8 top stars that are bankrupting speedway (they bring crowds in), it’s the lower order riders asking for big bucks due to trying to emulate the GP lads with increased machinery costs, vans, mechanics and tuners. Pointing the finger at 15% of your product and blaming it is a misreading of the entire league set up and it’s associated costs. 

Zach should have been at 5 for last six weeks of the season. He's in the majority of H15's so wouldn't you want him in H13? But most of the time Zach and Lewi had a good partnership going, so probably didn't want to break that up. Anders is not as good as team riding as Zach is imo. Oh, congrats to Redcar btw. Deserved it just on Jody Scott's performance. Thought I'd get it in before bellend @Bellers101 tells me off lol. 

All teams know about it and are building with this in mind.

Was something I questioned as well but was told that it’s whatever they will be starting 2026 so they are including reductions. Don’t agree with the duo either agree with what you say should be allowed to build how you want as long as it’s within the limit.
