I'd disagree, they were far stronger with guests, allowed to use 3* riders & can choose a "horses for courses" policy! Edit: just read they were told they had to make a change!

I thought they already had 3 top heat leaders lol!

I disagree, if a rising star is good enough to score double figures in every match, is it not good for their development to move up into the team & face tougher opposition?

To me that looks like his 2019 Prem ave with his 2.5% reduction removed, he didn't ride till May 27th too late for the June cut-offs! It should be far simpler to understand what's going on than this!

As Ellis hasn't got a new Prem ave for Sheffield yet (is still on his 2019 ave) I'd have thought he'd be signing on his 7.80 Champ ave from 2019?

Danny Smith or Archie Freeman would he excellent replacements for the injured Sam McGurk!

McGurk could always be reintroduced, as a 3.00 rider he could replace anyone in the team!

What's the story with Fernando Garcia? When's he gonna get here?

I think IOW qualify, but the BSPA would rather threaten to ban rising stars getting extra track time than encourage them!

NL riders could do with 30 matches a year to improve but NL clubs (except Mildenhall) only want to race 12 matches a year!

That makes a lot of sense!

You certainly knew what you were talking about!

Indeed Kent will struggle with 2 x non scoring 3.00 riders at reserve, similar to Armadale with Rothery moving into the top 5!

Kent are only 0.96 below the limit can't can't fit in anyone above 4.00 to replace a non scoring 3.00 rider!

Peterborough have made a good start at Belle Vue today! ... Then they go and lose at home, so tough to make predictions!

Quite a few people on here were quick to suggest dropping Pijper to make a double change when Allen left! I hope they're all brave enough to admit they were wrong!

Couldn't have put it any better myself! For example Newcastle wouldn't be allowed Craig Cook as a guest for an injured Ben Barker just because they're 4 odd points below the limit!

1st Eastbourne 2nd Mildenhall 3rd Kent 4th Berwick 5th Newcastle 6th Leicester 7th Belle Vue 8th Armadale

1st Glasgow 2nd Birmingham 3rd Leicester 4th Redcar 5th Eastbourne 6th Berwick 7th Poole 8th Scunthorpe 9th Edinburgh 10th Kent 11th Newcastle 12th Plymouth

I'm gonna predict Berwick for 6th this year! How many are in the play-offs 4 or 6?

1. Sheffield 2. Peterborough 3. Belle Vue 4. Wolverhampton 5. King's Lynn 6. Ipswich

They can beat them when they're on form!

I agree, I'd understand if the choice is Bjarne Petersen vs James Sarjeant, but if it's Kasper Andersen vs Connor Mountain, why pay for flights for a rider who is maybe 0.2 stronger than a Brit!

Even with those 3 on an off day, they're still stronger than half of the Clubs top 5s!

I think Scunthorpe held out making a signing in the hope of finding someone stronger than Mountain! If there's no one out there, can see them going with a 4.00 Aussie not as strong as Mountain!
