Redka clearly thrown in the towel on this one with R/R for Riss. 

And let's not forget how good he was in 2024.

If the top 9 averaged riders get shared amongst the 9 Champ clubs, that's not watering down the league at all (unless multiple 8+ riders were planning to return).

I've thoroughly enjoyed watching the Tigers this season, even though we finished without a trophy, the racing has been amazing and I hope we can go one step better next season. Given we have no clue about points limit, or the league structure, it's all a guess what the team could be. But it's always fun to have a go, and here's my attempt... If it's 40 points again, how about: Chris Harris 8.90 Bowtell / D. Kennedy (A.N. Other under 5) Nick Morris 6.86 Leon Flint 6.95 Villads Nagel 7.39 Max Perry 2.29 Freddy Hodder 2.63 Make the most of 5 of this year's riders coming back again and adding a former Tiger in Nick Morris. Hopefully we'd see the two reserves pushing on. We saw glimpses throughout the year that they can add points but I think another season would give them both the chance to push on. Seems daft to keep giving up on riders after a year. Whatever happens, I'll be there in 2026 with my season ticket and the Mrs wants a season ticket too after attending a few times this year!

So after comments of drop Vuolas, sign Grahn & needing a stronger no 1, how about? Kyle Howarth (7.92) Troy Batchelor (6.80) Jye Etheridge (5.66) Jacob Hook (5.63) Tate Zischke (5.43) Jonatan Grahn (5.30) Ben Trigger (3.26) Total 40.00

Fricke will be a certainty if the points limit is high enough. Can also see Nick Morris being drafted back in. Unfortunately, due to their success Leicester will be punished by having to weaken their team. Dickson might have to go further afield and get some riders from the continent. 1. Fricke - 10.04 2. N Morris - 5.89 3. Becker - 6.87 4. Lawson - 6.99 (6.82) 5. Masters - 7.15 6. 3-point assessed foreigner  7. D Gilkes - RS Total - 39.94 (39.77)
