I would agree to an extent but Grahn will be effective at reserve too IMO

Palovaara isn’t going to be a reserve very long anyway

Not that I can think of a great solution but is it worth the team considering Kye moving out and replacing him and Max with a more balanced pair?

What’s the job of the team manager if riders can turn round and refuse to ride in a heat? They should be told

Flint's ride in ht14 was brilliant. He was much faster than i've seen him round Armadale before. Harris's performance was as unusual as Sedgmen's - one to forget for both of them.

The dugs in the street knew what was going to happen in ht15 with those selections. If Paco is pulling rank in the pits then it's poor - ht13 he couldn't get close to an underperforming Harris so how was he getting near Howarth or Thompson? Polis was the obvious choice. Losing at home when getting a combined 13 from your reserves raises questions. I'll give Sedgmen a pass as that's an unusual performance. Thomson though is simply not good enough at no.3 - he could genuinely find himself at no.6 shortly which actually might not be the worst thing! On a positive note, Grahn is improving race by race, Polis looks a proper racer and Palovaara (while against poorer riders) is smashing his average.

Strengthens us

He'll comfortably improve on his average, even when he's in the main body of the team. He'll end up a heat leader this season i'm fairly certain.

Good switch. Neither of them looked like heat leaders last night though to be honest. Kye isn’t ruthless enough

No complaints about the result. Dan Thompson was brilliant and Bomber showed his class with that move in ht15. Edinburgh are a team full of ‘alright’ riders. Hoping Polis is a bit of a diamond otherwise we’re not going to do much damage. Big shout out to the track shop for introducing a gilet for the middle class speedway goer. Great addition to my wardrobe.

Very disappointing. Like many I suspect he was the one I was keen to see. No-one’s fault I suppose but speedway doesn’t help itself. That’ll be VP getting his seven rides then!

Fast Freddie was practicing at Ashfield this week.

Anyone know of a P&P date?

Is there a downloadable calendar for the fixtures? I might have asked this in previous seasons so apologies if so.

Good news. Also makes it more likely we’re going to pull a rabbit out the hat with a 6.00 rider.

Such a shame. If he came in on a 5.00 he’d put at least 3.00 on that average I think.

I’d be absolutely astonished if he isn’t.

As others have alluded to him and Ward have a bit of a sketchy past. He’s always been a bit of a ‘hard rider’ too I would say. Occasionally crosses the line.

Don’t like Morris one bit but no doubt he’d be a good signing from a purely speedway perspective.

It’s Paco plus reserves now you’d think. Not great.

Interesting that we’re heading for Kye and Paco back in 2025 and Max James and Lasse away. I’m not sure many of the supporters would have picked that tbh. Going to need one of the Swedes to really improve on the 5.00.

That’s disappointing.

That seems to be the thinking but I’m the eternal optimist

Yep. Was just a question

Is he an Edinburgh asset still?
