TTT

My other 1-7 for Scunny is.... 1. J. Pickering 10.64 2. C. Mountain 5.25 3. J. Allen 6.40 or M. Palm Toft 6.05 4. J. Hook 5.40 5. T. Zischke 6.52 6. R. Ingram 3.55 7. 2.00 = 39.76 or 39.41

1. C. Wright 8.60 2. J. Mulford 5.13 3. J. Edwards 6.36 4. K-J. Pedersen 5.69 5. D. King 7.76 6. A. Pijper 4.25 7. C. Southwick 2.00 = 39.79

1. S. Masters 8.99 2. S. Hagon 3.71 3. S. Nicholls 7.95 4. L. Killeen 6.03 5. T. Brennan 8.07 6. D. Ritchings 3.17 7. S. Summers 2.00 = 39.92

Not criticising, I just put realistic 1-7's together rather than something unrealistic like a top two of Lambert and Fricke for example because Buster isn't going to spend thousands a night on the pair when he operates on a budget. Someone said it would finish last and I agreed.

Woryna is the name that springs to mind because I think most fans would expect Doyle to be back.

I agree, It's awful.

Polish and BSN articles just released and it's fair to say that Robert Lambert doesn't want anything to do with British League racing so we can draw a line under that one imo.

1. J. Pickering 10.64 2. N. Ablitt 4.84 3. J. Allen 6.40 4. M. Palm Toft 6.05 5. T. Zischke 6.52 6. R. Ingram 3.55 7. 2.00 = 40.00

Agree. Didn't they bin him off as soon as he wasn't eligible for the Rising Star scheme? Can't imagine Tom going back after that.

I agree but as always with my 1-7's I factor in who's likely to be available because Clubs normally retain as many of their riders as possible from the previous campaign.

I don't think this will be too far off tbh. 39.00 Team Building Limit 1. M. Fricke 8.27 or R. Lambert 8.00 2. N. Klindt 5.76 3. R. Lawson 6.63 4. C. Harris 6.38 5. J. Kvech 6.76 6. C. Rushen 4.74 7. J. Scott (U21 Rising Star) = 38.54 or 38.27 38.00 Team Building Limit 1. Z. Cook 7.35 2. N. Klindt 5.76 3. R. Lawson 6.63 4. C. Harris 6.38 5. J. Kvech 6.76 6. C. Rushen 4.74 7. J. Scott (U21 Rising Star) = 37.62

Buster only has a few numbers in the book and Lawson can't afford to be picky as half of the Clubs wouldn't touch him with a barge pole for various reasons whether it's attitude related or performance related around certain tracks.

I hope so, Could be hinting at Doyley though.

I think BV should go for Klindt, He's a good rider when he's at the right club. Nicolai tends to struggle when he finds himself at new tracks that he's never ridden before like Oxford and Northampton.

The priority for me is Cairns or Rushen now. Reserves were a big issue this year and it could be deja vu if we don't pick up one of the promoising young Brits.

I know, But he's far more reliable than a flaky foreign rider who's never ridden a British track as well as a CHAMP Rider on a CHAMP GSA around the 3.5 mark. We got burnt this year with Hellstrom-Bangs and Juhl Pedersen. With this ruling imo it makes Cairns just as important as Heat Leaders.

Yes. Basically Belle Vue will walk the League again if they re-sign Will Cairns.

I can see a better team than last season but not a 1-7 that's a threat to Belle Vue, Ipswich and Sheffield tbh. I wouldn't be surprised if Z. Cook or Lawson were to be part of the Foxes 1-7 either tbh.

Rules out Robert Lambert then. Emil Sayfutdinov????

I think Phil Morris is hinting at Eastbourne in the PREM with Vinnie Foord as the U21/Rising Star as it makes all the sense in the world if my info is correct on someone being part of the consortium As for Cairns, Isn't the 2027 ruling for current PREM Rising Star's with GSA's at 3.00 or under only to be part of the 2027 British U21/Rising Star scheme? I'm not on board with this ruling at all and some teams aren't going to be competitive because of it.

Brennan's GSA would be above 8.00 so I don't think he's at Oxford unless the rules have changed. 5.91 x 1.4 = 8.27 (8.07 after 2.5% British Reduction) or 5.91 x 1.5 = 8.86 (8.64 after 2.5% British Reduction) Didn't last winter confirm that the CHAMP rules were set for 3 Years?

1. K. Thomson 8.23 2. J. Grahn 5.63 3. P. Castagna 5.88 4. V. Palovaara 5.64 5. J. Sedgmen 6.84 6. M. Cluff 3.64 7. J. Loftus 3.60 = 39.46

Fits after British Reductions. 1. R. Lawson 8.15 2. K. Newman 4.92 3. L. Harrison 5.70 4. C. Rushen 5.01 5. W. Cairns 6.44 6. S. Lightcap 4.83 7. E. Kennett 4.62 39.67

I agree but I also think Zach is in the same boat as Musielak now where he's maxed out his GSA tbh (7.35) I can see Zach spending a year at King's Lynn or Northampton if the points limit isn't 40.00 as I don't see how the Aces can fit both Cook's as well as Kurtz/Bewley in a 38 limit for example. After Bewley's reduction the 4 riders come to 31.75.

Agree. Probably have to adopt the Danish format with 6 Man Teams to get around it as well as limiting Heat Leaders to an x amount per team in order to share them around?
