TTT

1. IPS (Will walk it if everyone stays fit, Fantastic 1-7 that's power packed in every department) 2. BV (Unbeatable around the NSS unless it's one of those silly lunchtime meetings) 3. KL (Just rock solid throughout and it reminds me of P'borough 2021, Dark Horses) 4. SHE (Big name riders will bail them out in Ht's 13 & 15 to see them pip the Lions to 4th) 5. LEI (Solid 1-7 but Fricke goes missing too many times, No longer have Lawson to cover for him) 6. BIR (Is MJJ on a short term deal? Returnees may take a while to adapt to UK tracks again) 7. OX (Banking on Janowski returning to his Poole form just to put some wins on the board imo)

Maybe Harris wanted to go, He did go on record saying he wanted to ride for KL one day.

Gusts is a good signing, He's not a bad rider at all, Oxford have done a decent job of salvaging the team building debacle. It may feel a little underwhelming due to the points left to play with but Oxford could do a whole lot worse than Gusts. Gusts has scope to improve, He's young and he's not afraid to mix it so that's all Oxford can ask for considering the position they were in.

Exactly, Oxford will learn from the mistake they made this winter and they won't make it again imo.

If the rules are the same as last year then MJJ will be a 7.00-7.50 because he rode in the Ekstraliga in 2024. If Brum are saying third HL then I guess Zagar must be a 7.00-7.50 as well.

The only negative side to signing MJJ is that Brum will have to keep one eye on Grudziadz's performances this year. The Polish club are known to kick up a fuss when results turn sour in the Ekstraliga or if one of their riders has a big fall on a track that's not Polish. Jakobsen, Pedersen and Tarasenko are recent examples of that as well as Doyle being treated badly by the Grudziadz management after a season ending crash at KL.

Decent team (No.6 bound to be someone half decent), Brum fans should be happy with that considering BV, Ipswich & Sheffield will always snap up the best riders. Will be found wanting on the road imo but once dialled in to PB then they should win more than a fair share of home meetings. Oxford are nailed on for the wooden spoon this year after making a mess of team building by chasing a pipe dream in Bewley.

Make or break signing tomorrow. Need to get someone from the Ekstraliga 2 League in Poland at worst.

Now that all teams are basically complete, This is my final table prediction for the Championship. 1. GLASGOW (Will finish top but might not win the league unless a change is made at reserve) 2. REDCAR (Powerful 1-5 with lots of improvement in the team) 3. POOLE (Cairns isn't eligible until 29th June, Hence why I've got Poole down for 3rd) 4. BERWICK (I wasn't expecting them to sign PK, Strong No.1/No.5 with a strong reserve all season) 5. OXFORD (Expect a slow start to the season, Will need Scott to return in full flow) 6. WORKINGTON (Strong at Home but they'll struggle away unless Vuolas & Zischke get dialled in) 7. SCUNTHORPE (Strong at H but they'll struggle A, I don't see average improvers in the team) 8. EDINBURGH (Good signings in Polis & Palovaara but they don't have a strong No.1/No.5 combo) 9. PLYMOUTH (Good signing in Nicolai Klindt but he doesn't have much back up elsewhere) CHAMPIONS (Poole)

Don't think they wanted them at the time, I think Oxford made a mess of team building by pursuing Bewley to a point where they scrambled around for Kildemand.

Two from Five imo, If a EU rider did make his services available then I think Oxford would also go for them and offer a better deal than Birmingham. Batchelor S. Worrall Sedgmen Kerr Vuolas

Lodz and Opole are two of the three smallest tracks in Poland (Torun the other), Therefore Oskar shouldn't have any trouble getting around Edinburgh. Good signing.

To be fair Edinburgh would've jumped at the chance of signing Klindt instead they're going to end up Sedgmen and Castagna at No.1 & No.5.

Santa Claus Vissing announced tomorrow?

So are we now ruling out Nilsson and Thorssell? They surely would've been announced tonight if they were the last two as rumoured. Are we possibly looking at two from the following four? Sedgmen, Vuolas, S. Worrall & Kerr
