Britain's top 3 have all chosen Poland & Sweden / Denmark over the UK. I'm glad that the top Aussies still want to race here!

If they can't get anyone better, Auty & Shanes could be in their top 3!

I agree, plus I've seen no "realistic" suggestions if riders better than Sedgmen - we shall see!

Pickering is replacing Riss & Kildemand is replacing Barker, so Lynn have certainly strengthened there. Top rider could be Doyle, Holder or Fricke tbh. I just rate Doyle the highest! You must be one of the few who rate Ipswich lol!

My pick for Berwick's riding order: 1) Chris Harris 2) Ty Proctor 3) Theo Pijper 4) Leon Flint 5) Ricky Wells 6) Jye Etheridge 7) Kyle Bickley

Since Plymouth have 4 heat leaders & arguably the weakest Edward Kennett has to ride at number 1, I'd go with this riding order: 1) Edward Kennett 2) Ben Barker 3) Hans Andersen 4) Alfie Bowtell 5) Michael P Toft 6) Dan Gilkes 7) Henry Atkins. With track specialist Barker having an inside gate in the opening heat, gives Plymouth a good chance of starting off with a heat advantage against the opposition number 1!

Or a challenge match against a foreign team, get Esbjerg over & I'm sure plenty of fans would come to watch Woffinden!

Has Basso ridden in a team with Bjarne before?

It should be easy to challenge for the title, as a team only has to finish 4th out of 6! Heck a team spending all year in 5th could argue they are still challenging for the play-offs / title!

In Poland I'd agree Musielak over Harris, in the UK not so sure. Looking at his Scunthorpe form you could argue Ellis overachieved at Sheffield, can he be as strong again?

According to http://www.gbspeedway.com/2021/riderperf.php?mc1=x&mc2=x&mc3=pf&mc4=x&rider=Jordan Palin&league=B&sort=date&comp=All&club=Scunthorpe Scorpions&reload=Y#mobile_stats Palin rode 19 matches at reserve & 2 in the top 5. Thomas rode all matches at reserve. I do feel there isn't a lot between all the RS's but someone has to be the best & someone else the worst!

Palin was certainly the weakest Prem RS last year & if you look at his average away from Scunthorpe, it's far below Thomas.

Got fed up waiting for Belle Vue to complete their team so I could compare all the teams: Strongest number 1: Jason Doyle (Ips) Weakest number 1: Michael P Toft (Pet) Strongest number 2: Richard Lawson (KL) Weakest number 2: Ulrich Ostergaard (Pet) Strongest number 3: Craig Cook (She) Weakest number 3: Troy Batchelor (Ips) Strongest number 4: Chris Harris (Pet) Weakest number 4: Erik Riss (Ips) Strongest number 5: Steve Worrall (Wol) Weakest number 5: Cameron Heeps (Ips) Strongest number 6: Richie Worrall (KL) Weakest number 6s: Drew Kemp or Leon Flint (Wol) Strongest number 7: Tom Brennan (BV) Weakest number 7: Jordan Palin (Pet) Strongest number 8: Danyon Hume (Ips) Weakest number 8: Jake Mulford (KL)

If true, not sure why Oxford would take him on loan? The purpose of their NL team should be to build an asset base for future Cheetahs riders, not Wolves riders! I wouldn't want to use a rider on loan from a club who he's never ridden for!

Tbh I don't see Palin getting many rides there, anyway unless you can afford Polish wages, can't ask riders not to race elsewhere!

A squad system requires more riders, but we currently have lots of doubling up due to lack of riders!

Simplest option would be to lower the points limit & use the best remaining NL riders at the bottom of teams.

Latest predictions: Poole Glasgow Leicester Edinburgh Oxford Redcar Newcastle Plymouth Berwick Scunthorpe Birmingham

I disagree & think Ipswich look far the weakest of the 5 completed sides, but everyone is allowed an opinion!

I'd imagine Gappmaier is available, but Berwick are trying to find a stronger rider, if they can't they'll end up with him!

Can't agree, think he's one of the the strongest rising stars.

I can only see ONE weakness in the Sheffield team - a weakish number 6 in Stefan Nielsen. That being said, you won't find a better rider on a 3.00 ave

Wolves had strength in depth, rather than a string top 2, so it's understandable they didn't dominate heat 13/15s

I see no reason why lots of Oxford can't race on a Friday! When they race against other Friday tracks, they'd have to change race night, which is fair, but they should be allowed to race Fridays for the other fixtures imo Stopping too many clubs racing on the same day must be to free up riders for guest bookings? If every club is racing no guests are available! Which is a rubbish reason to refuse Oxford Fridays tbh. Basically saying "you can't race on a Friday, because others do & they may want to use your riders"

I believe he's commenting on the proximity of Edinburgh & Glasgow. Both racing on a Friday means fans can't attend both, which they previously could when Glasgow raced on a Sunday!
