Get off this thread. You wind up merchant. Pirates to take the sting out of the Scorpions. Come on you Pirates.

Would that be because other countries sort their acts out, get riders signed and fixtures organised sometimes months before Britian can sort out even which teams are actually running ! Wright has been very loyal to Redcar turning down more lucrative moves as he rides where he enjoys it and hasnt chased the £ signs in the past so cant begrudge him chasing the big bucks in Poland in the time he has left .

Jody has been excellent this year. I think its easy to forget how young and inexperienced Cooper is sometimes. Hopefully they are both back, would welcome Fricke and Bomber too if they wanted to return but cho to the other three for me.

He is but you have to be so careful bigging up these kids as the next big thing. So many examples of 16 year olds who promised everything and delivered very little. Plenty of examples in the other direction as well of riders not tipped to do much, who suddenly come to life and go on to have great careers. You never can tell.

Could / would have got something out of that had Fricke not shafted Cook in heat 11. Which is quite remarkable after the dreadful start. Thank F 2026 is over!

Scott looks a better prospect than Rushen on current form.  Rushen still young
