I think it's a shame James Shane's hasn't been handed Sheffield's "rising star" berth, at his age / experience it must be his last season on the list?

Looking at the stats, Kemp is a NL rider at home & a 3rd heat leader away!

I'd go with: Home 1) Ulrich Ostergaard (r/r) 2) Chris Harris 3) Scott Nicholls 4) Michael P Toft 5) Bjarne Pedersen 6) Hans Andersen 7) Jordan Palin Away 1) Ulrich Ostergaard (r/r) 2) Michael P Toft 3) Scott Nicholls 4) Bjarne Pedersen 5) Chris Harris 6) Hans Andersen 7) Jordan Palin

My unofficial "weighted" averages Sam Masters 9.77 - 10.57 - 10.08 Jack Holder 10.67 - 8.00 - 9.56 Richard Lawson 9.85 - 8.46 - 9.31 Dan Bewley 8.71 - 9.10 - 8.98 Nick Morris 9.06 - 7.85 - 8.52 Rory Schlein 9.22 - 7.62 - 8.45 Bjarne Pedersen 8.56 - 7.30 - 8.07 Ulrich Ostergaard 8.50 - 7.58 - 8.00 Hans Andersen 8.00 - 8.00 - 8.00 Luke Becker 8.44 - 7.62 - 8.00

I think Leicester are stronger than Edinburgh. If you can beat Leicester home & away, shouldn't fear any other team!

This was an attempt at "weighted averages" for example, heat 2 in the Prem I counted for Championship aves & heat 13/15 in Champ I counted for Premiership aves!

Richard Lawson 9.20 - 9.66 - 9.36

I don't understand why number 2 is considered a tough position, to me it's no different from 3 or 4! 1&5 are the tough positions!

Surely Brennan must be able to guest for Wells, 4* equating to a 4.00 ave?

I tried to work a system for averages taking into account easier vs harder races & these are my stats: Home / Away / Overall Sam Masters 11.43 - 9.88 - 10.74 Bjarne Pedersen 9.78 - 10.80 - 10.14 Craig Cook 9.47 - 10.89 - 9.33 - 10.00 Scott Nicholls 10.20 - 9.71 - 9.92 Danny King 10.13 - 9.78 - 9.90 Nick Morris 10.36 - 9.09 - 9.73 Chris Harris 8.80 - 10.50 - 9.68 Steve Worrall 10.72 - 8.73 - 9.59 Josh Pickering 9.68 - 9.33 - 9.53 Richie Worrall 8.96 - 10.08 - 9.52

If there were riders on 8 + 5 averages available, it'd be a bad move to sign an 11.1 rider who won't hit that figure! But there wasn't many options out there!

Hurry was scoring less than 3 points a match & r/r less than 4 points a match, so Batchelor doesn't need to score 12 points a match to strengthen Kent! If he gets an 8.00 ave Kent will be stronger!

I don't feel the bottom end has considerably weakened. Even if it is weakened, as Hurry & r/r weren't scoring much, so Bachelor can match their scores & anything Mulford scores will be a bonus!

Does he still ride in Poland? That would mean he rides in Poland, Sweden & Britain (×2)

I was talking about Ryan Kinsley!

Kinda surprised Kent didn't give him a shot on place of Bacon or Hurry?

The gap between NL & Champ has never been bigger! A rider like Jack Smith guests for Belle Vue twice & hardly dropped a point, but has he even scored 1 point for Plymouth since signing for them? As the NL is so weak you can't even say getting a 9.5 ave means you're ready to compete at Championship level!

If they need another 2.00 reserve think Edwards would be the best option!

Clubs should sensible with their wages perhaps? Budget for 500 fans so they won't go bust!

Shame they wouldn't give Edwards a shot in the easier number 7 position to try & get his confidence back!

I would certainly save Mulford for 2022 to keep him as a 1* reserve!

I've heard top 4 & top 6, speedwayGB site has mention of how many teams qualify for Champ play-offs (but does for Prem)

Don't see any reason for Leon to leave Berwick unless he is racing full time in Prem & abroad!

That would mean 2 years ago, you couple had Robert Lambert & Dan Bewley as your reserves! Would staying at reserve be best for their progress!

Can't see anything other than a Glasgow victory over 2 legs!
