What do we think the format and standard/lineups for Puk’s testimonial will be? It would be great to see him get some big names over considering his standing in the sport - but can’t see that happening, unfortunately. I’ll go with a King’s Lynn Stars Select vs Denmark for the format. Standard league match format. My guess at lineups would be: KLSS 1. R Lambert 2. Harris 3. Lawson 4. B Cook 5. Janowski 6. Kerr 7. Boughen Denmark 1. Iversen 2. Jeppessen 3. Jepsen Jensen 4. Klindt 5. Kildemand 6. Borke 7. Knudsen

Apologies - I did misread your post and thought you meant a Bank Holiday double header. Please excuse my ignorance

The Lynn away meeting at Ipswich, yes. There is no mention of the reverse fixture as a ‘double header’.

I don’t think there is one. I know there was a lot of talk of it taking place, but neither have it on their fixture schedules - unless a separate announcement is going to bed made…

Assuming he comes in on an assessed 4.5?

What do we think the averages of the Brummies team will be for ‘25? If the regulations remain the same as ‘24 then I see it being as this: 1. Musielak - 8.21 2. Jeppessen - 4.5 3. Zagar - 7.2 4. Rew - 5.67 5. Jepsen Jensen - 7.5 6. Voulas - 4.13 7. Edwards - RS Total - 37.21

Tarasenko? Basso? Jakobsen? Can’t see it being anyone who hasn’t already rode in the UK recently. Season is 2 months away and organising logistics, visas, starting permissions etc isn’t a 5 minute job

I’m pretty sure it’s complete

Think you have to complete 2 consecutive seasons in the GP to then be assessed as an 8

Not many riders left who are around that average. The Kildemand signing is very strange especially on the rumoured 6.00 average he is coming in on. Oxford are going to have to bring another rider from the continent over, I would say options include: Thorssell - 7.33 Tarasenko - 6.77 Huckenbeck - 6.00 (reassessed) Apart from them three. I really can’t see any other realistic signings…

Stars Spires 1. Lawson 1. Tungate (tick) 2. Kvech (tick) 2. Riss 3. Iversen (tick) 3. Wright 4. Klindt (tick) 4. Klidemand 5. Cook 5. Janowski (tick) 6. Harris (tick) 6. ? 7. Boughen (tick) 7. Killeen Thats how I break it down when doing a comparison.

League predictions for 2025 season 1. Glasgow Tigers 2. Poole Pirates 3. Redcar Bears 4. Workington Comets 5. Scunthorpe Scorpions 6. Berwick Bandits 7. Oxford Cheetahs 8. Edinburgh Monarchs 9. Plymouth Gladiators Semi-final 1 Winner: Glasgow Tigers Semi-final 2 Winner: Poole Pirates Grand-final Winner: Glasgow Tigers

Well I’ve already got it wrong with Jeppesson coming in instead of Hansen. But, to answer your question Kim

Your good Belle Vue friend who this post was in response wanted to critique the King’s Lynn team, so I thought I’d give my twopence on his beloved Aces.

Not that it probably matters, but they’ve cheaped out somewhat with the Cheetahs team, so can imagine they’ll bring in a big hitter now

Birmingham: Nillsson Hansen Thorsell Oxford: Dudek Kerr

But are they also not entitled to make a profit for their business?

Brady’s antics means that it has already been witnessed this year when we chose to ride in Poland and GP qualifiers when supposedly “injured” preventing him riding in the UK. This is the same situation as other riders and Aces fans openly slaughter other clubs for it. All I’m suggesting there will be a lot more pressure on him this season from the GPs and wanting to perform, as well as Wroclaw who will have no hesitation in blocking him from riding in the UK if it’s in their best interests. I think the UK will be slipping further down his pecking order, but time will tell.

The antics refers to him choosing to race in Poland and GP qualifiers than England when supposedly “injured”. This is coming from a Lynn fan who’s riders and everyone else’s riders get slaughtered for doing the exact same thing…

1. Bewley - will never be the 10+ rider everyone wants/expects him to be 2. Blodorn - has found his limit. A decent 2nd string who is too inconsistent to be anything more 3. Lidsey - in my opinion worse than B Cook who they’ve let go to keep Jaimon. Will never score enough points away from home 4. Z Cook - big downgrade on his brother. If he was at reserve a great signing, in the main body not so much. 5. Kurtz - Will Brady be as committed to UK speedway next year? Big season making his GP debut, as well as stepping up to Wroclaw… question marks raised over him this season with his antics, could we see even more next year? 6. Zischke - no one can question his talent and potential, but coming back from that serious of an injury and seeing all the away tracks for the first time, does make me feel nervous for Aces reserves 7. Mulford - the 2nd worst RS in the league with only Hagon behind him Again, like this year putting far too much pressure on Dan, Brady and Jaimon to score 35+ points a meeting to get them over the line. a longer tail than last year and worse 2nd string support. Aces will make the playoffs but that will be the end of the road for them

1. Musielak - 8.21 2. Nilsson - 6 3. Thorsell - 6 4. Hansen - 6 5. Zagar - 7.2 6. Rew - 5.67 7. Edwards- RS Total - 39.08

And his away meetings when he was Lynn brought a haul of 14 points from 3 meetings at an average of 5.09… not exactly 2021 World Champion level…

If every meeting was at the AFA KK would’ve been fine😂 he averaged 10.4 at home, however, a measly 2.91 away

Didn’t think I got my wires crossed

I heard Mads Hansen was a deal that nearly happened also
