I agree, but it’s a fair average for ability.

True, I think there is more chance of Ole Olsen coming out of retirement than Nicki riding here.

Protection works well in Poland, however some teams have a distinct advantage! Where is this rumour that Nicki P might be going to Sheffield?

Mine too (at Wolves). But zero chance I’d imagine.

Fully agree with you Steve0. His form for Berwick was at best average. Which is exactly where he is at. Feel sorry for any team in either division who think they are signing a bargain rider.

I bet they will stay.

2 out of how many seasons?

That’s 2 seasons out of how many? For consistency as a number one he wasn’t in the same league.

Not confirmed yet.

Pedersen? He wasn’t in the same league average wise in the UK.

Down down

Are dangleys different to dingleys?

Gristly I’d imagine?

Saw that and I’d agree. Just haven’t seen it confirmed by Fred. But like you say Phil isn’t likely to be wrong.

Where has this ‘says he won’t ride here’ come from? I’ve not read anything to confirm that. I don’t think he will be back either just to confirm.

I hope not.

I wish that were the case too. I’d love to see Freddie back as well. Im surprised he is giving his own countries league a miss but it appears top riders are going the same way as the UK top flight as more and more are leaving the Swedish league. Sadly I think Fred is lost to the UK scene now he is an established world title contender. Such a shame as he always seemed to be a rider keen to ride as much as possible which would have given the UK league a chance of an appearance but a lot of the top boys now seem happy with the GPs and Poland.

Less top riders will be riding in Sweden next year with Tai and Freddie the next pair to say no.

Denmark operate a grading system and appears to work very well.

I’d prefer a much higher limit at the start of the season and 42.5 should be a minimum. However the lack of riders wanting to come may mean some teams might not be able too.

Well according to the GB site they have moved up subject to confirmation at the AGM. That’s the announcement! Of course the reality is nothing is official till the AGM anyway.

Accepted but to be confirmed at the AGM.

Same as this year with BT.

Kemp is nowhere near top level standard. After watching him in 2018 i thought he would have already been. One of the most exciting young talents in a long time. Reality hit him big time. Even in the 3rd tier he went backwards a little. Struggled for an level of consistency in the 2nd tier and wasn’t surprised he was replaced when Sheffield tried to improve. like a lot of good 3rd tier riders this season they have found the step up to 2nd tier very hard, forcing some to drop out.

I thought the announcement of meetings covered would be the same as this year on BT, including the play offs so not likely to be weekly unless they start coverage late on.
