Bit boring not to discuss it further though on a discussion forum? I'd disagree with BarrowBoy, for example Oxford have far too long a tail to be finishing anywhere near third if in the Play Offs at all, and Redcar have strength all the way through so they will be top two or three IMO. Glasgow top as long as Ace Pjiper is OK.

I suspect they are doing pre season stuff in Poland.

Bewley/Kurtz/Lidsey?

Excuse my ignorance, but why as he a 'guest'? As far as I'm aware one of those has to be in a 1-7. As for reassessment, he should really have been, no argument there. Hopefully something Mr Morris will sort out.

Is this a wind up?

Great kevs as per.

Spot on, that's the key point that seems to get missed. Whether he should have been reassessed is another argument, but he wasn't and fitted to replace an injured rider. Which is much more preferable to a guest (eurgh) or R/R.

I don't think Flint is though, not at Wolves. He might be if he was at one of the big tracks. He's quite clearly the best of the seven in the Championship but as it stands I just don't see it in the Prem. I'd say its quite close between Flint, D Thompson, Edwards, Jenkins & Gilkes with the other two slightly below them as it stands. There's obviously a good reason(s) why Kemp hasn't been picked, we'll probably never be privy to them but as you say something doesn't quite add up.

Kemp was also poor for Wolves last year.

I think for an early season individual that's a great line up. Having a track like that will certainly get good riders to come.

This is a good point and I hadn't thought of it. Personally I'd say riders of his calibre should be 9 but as you say if it was 8 he'd have fitted anyway.

I can't think of another team sport where members aren't in exactly the same attire. It's now 25 years since they were first introduced and still we have teams not using them in the UK, not wanting to look professional and give themselves an identity. Looks so amateurish IMO.

As Phil says attitude is a big factor and Ipswich would know having worked with Kemp and Rowe before. Thompson the next cab off the rank effectively.

Yep I thought he was under nine, probably getting his British reduction confused. Would suggest he should be nice minimum, Emil too really. Lidsey certainly should be reassessed. No criticism of BV, they are taking advantage and good luck to them.

Well of course not but if most of their riders rock up for P&P in brand new kevs anyway then it's be a bit daft if they weren't all the same! Just think it should be a given by now.

Yep as should the helmet colour, or the riders style etc etc. But those who don't like matching suits always say that telling riders apart can be difficult so it's a good idea from Redcar. And great that they have finally embraced team suits, BSN should be insisting on it if any teams aren't doing it this year (Brum?)

Good eyes!

These Wolves fans are feisty

You couldn't anyway as Thomas hasn't ridden for you yet. As Lisa says, it was in reference to the suggestion that Dan T might be waiting for another club to fit him in once averages change.

Fiddling I'd suggest.

Perhaps it's more concrete than 'just in case'.......

I'd say even one season or just doing a few meetings and not getting an up to date average. You could make a decent argument that Bewley should be reassessed considering his progress in 2022.

Probably an idea to see it in action before condemning it as a bad idea.

If that's the case I'd say they are strong favourites assuming Rew is fully committed.
