Apologies guys, completely got the wrong end of the stick and I’m looking forward to seeing Eric having a long and enjoyable season as a witch.  Top trolling with the bad language and insults btw, true to form as always.

https://ipswichwitches.co/captain-king-named-tru7-group-witches-rider-of-the-year-for-2027/   Fully deserved. Musielak wouldn’t have been far behind I’m sure as he had an excellent campaign too but no doubt the right winner.    Also so nice to read Chris Louis was there and received an award too. Great to see he’s still actively in and around it. 

The last averages I have for Nilsson and Riss in the Top flight are Nilsson 7.13 and Riss 6.69 = 13.82 Rumoured to sign both of them for a combined 9.55. That's some serious saver on the pair, Just got to hope Riss stays fit but at the end of the day I'd rather take a chance on Erik then a Youngster from Europe with no UK experience as I've seen too many of them flop drastically like Gusts and Hellstrom-Bangs to name some recent examples.

Riss ended up at number 1 for Oxford in 2025 albeit in a team lacking any top end strength. He’s a fine rider. BUT, his health issues are a concern. He has them, comes back, relapses, rinse and repeat.    Fair play to Ipswich for giving the fella another opportunity if his signing is confirmed. One thing he will get with Richard Coleman, is plenty of support and understanding. But they would be silly not to have some kind of back up protection in place if things don’t go well again.    That’s just pure common sense. 

Agree I always back the Brits (Except Lambert) because I just can't take to him at all.
