It seems a while since Belle Vue had a Pole in the team! Artur Mroczka was the last one I believe? He was so promising at Poole expected him to do better for the Aces! Hopefully Drozdz will do the job Belle Vue are looking for - if he can stay in the team Bewley could be a great reserve!

That situation happens a lot, there are plenty of riders who have a higher Championship but a lower Premiership average than a fellow rider: Lawson & Holder, Wright & Barker, King & Schlein!

Lawson has a higher Premiership average but Holder has a higher Championship average! Either could be stronger lol!

What riding order would you go for to start with? Mine would be: 1 Jason Doyle 9.69 2 Jake Allen 5.07 3 Charles Wright 6.69 4 Richard Lawson 6.43 5 Jack Holder 5.82 6 Bradley W Dean 4.67 7 Jonas Jeppensen 4.00

Kennett & Perks to complete the team would be my choice!

I think Wolves have a solid top 5, should be good enough to win at home, but do feel race winners will be hard to come by away! Added: unfortunately I see Nathan Greaves struggling, until he gets a SBGC place that is!

NEWCASTLE ? 1 Kevin Wolbert 8.00 2 Ludvig Lindgren 7.21 3 Stuart Robson 7.02 4 Steve Boxall 5.15 5 Tero Aarnio 5.02 6 Carl Wilkinson 4.97 7 Ashley Morris 4.88 Total 42.25!

4.64 X 1.3 = 6.03

Is Anton Rosen still riding? Could he come back to the Diamonds?

Being on holiday for a week, with time to spare and naught to do, I've added up the precitions so far (Speedway Star style, 1st = 11 points / 11th = 1 point) 1) IPSWICH 81 2) GLASGOW 80 3) SHEFFIELD 72 4) LAKESIDE 62 5) SCUNTHORPE 61 6) EDINBURGH 45 7) REDCAR 39 8) WORKINGTON 35 9) PETERBOROUGH 26 10) NEWCASTLE 15 11) BERWICK 12

I think Williamson is a great signing, so should have 2 good reserves all year at least!

I reckon Danny Phillips has to be the best choice as number 7 for the Scorpions!

Are any Monarchs fans concerned about Mark Riss starting off in a heat leader position?

Don't get me wrong I like Davey, just think JPB is better! However Hume is bound to put at least a point (if not more) on his starting ave, so regardless Birmingham have a fab top 3!

I did think Stoke looked a pretty weak team before, now with a "true" number one, they look a bit of a different proposition!

Gotta admit i'm not sure why Birmingham went with Davey instead of JPB! They are both of a similar standard now, but expect JPB to improve greatly over the season compared to Davey!

I would disagree, I don't believe the lower average riders will improve more in a weaker league, they're average may improve but only because they are racing weaker opponents! So the following year they may not get a place at all! Surely racing better riders makes it easier to move up into the Championship? JPB was almost unbeatable in the early part of last year in the NL but dropped out of the Championship, having easier rides in NL didn't help him it seems?

Gotta say, even without Jake Knight I reckon Eastbourne have a great number 1 in Mark Baseby!

Gotta say teams looks to have a long tail & I can see them struggling!

Has Charlie Brooks ridden any Speedway before this season? Or just got grasstrack experience?

It would have been better if Cradley used riders not in other teams, but it would be hard to sign a rider for 6 matches rather than a full season! Unless it was someone like Connor Mountain, who maybe decides he is happy to move up the Speedway ladder but happy to do half a dozen matches to give him a fuller schedule! For Mildenhall's point of view more track time for Jenkins & Kemp should help them improve. Might mean Mildenhall losing to Cradley in the trophy Final though, as they'd get good guests for the aforementioned duo!

Unless Iversen is assesed at 8.00 as a GP rider who didn't ride in Britain last year?

So do IOW fans believe in Morley they'll have the leagues strongest rider in 2018?

I was thinking of Bowtell & Lee Dicken too!

Since Klindt, Morley & Wajknecht had to use a conversion of their Premiership average rather than an old Premier League (Championship) ave, the same rule must apply to Grondal surely?
