What’s the pre-requisite now for a rider to get a testimonial? Know is used to be 10 years at one club. Is it now 10 years as an asset of one club even if not ridden all the time for them (loaned out) or is it just 10 years riding? Just can’t remember likes of Richie Worrall and Paul Starke for example being associated with just one club

Updated Swindon Select team : Jason Doyle, Anders Rowe, Kyle Howarth, Justin Sedgmen, Adam Ellis, Jack Smith, Sam Hagon.

You might need to Hold(er) that thought

Both teams ‘carried’ a heat leader last night in Bewley and Ellis, you’d expect both to be up there on the score charts but wasn’t too be, see they both went out after the meeting to test so hopefully both teams see the benefit of that. For Belle Vue thought Blodorn was very solid at #2 not overawed by being in the main body of the team, Lidsey was up there challenging and Kurtz was fast and forceful. As for Sheffield Holder and Musielak did what you want from a #1 and #5, with Bellego supporting them well and Howarth picking up vital points, the key to me though was the points scored by Kerr and Gilkes, you want your Rising Star to take points off the opposition one and Gilkes did that each time they raced each other, with Kerr out scoring Brennan it definitely helped with the win

Agree with @spin king on this one, wouldn’t be surprised to see something around 53-37. See there’s a tweak in the Sheffield line up moving Bellego and Howarth around for this one which is a good call especially with Ellis struggling for speed last Thursday.

It’s a strange one with the number 6 spot this year as a lot of good riders down there, some on artificial averages. Just checked Lewis Kerr and with certain matches not counting towards his average in his time at Sheffield (Play offs, League Cup final) his last 10 rolling would be 6.72 (7.54 inc bonus points) if all matches counted, that’s against his actual end of season rolling of 4.71. Like Kings Lynn with their compact second strings I can see Kerr, Howarth and Bellego all possibly having stints at number 6 during the season, think most teams will see movement between 2/4/6 especially once riders have bedded in and received an actual average for this season

Not trying to be edgy just my opinion, Doyle was far and out the best rider in the league last year and can’t see why this year will change that (maybe Bewley will push him) and love watching Emil, I’m just hoping for his and Ipswich’s sake that Poland/Torun don’t start throwing their weight about making him miss any UK meetings for their ‘training’ sessions and other nonsense, the Ekstraliga teams are very precious about their own and they’ll class Emil as that when they want too, luckily in the leagues below they don’t seem as controlling well that’s how it looked with Musielak last year anyway . The inconsistencies of King and Riss would be my main concern as an Ipswich fan and also Rew will take some time to get going especially after a bad knock and as he’s not rode at many of the UK tracks. Personally just want it to be an exciting league with all 7 teams in with a shout of the play offs

I know who I’d rather have for my team at the bottom end for supporting the heatleaders , Bellego/Howarth/Kerr v Rew/Riss/Hulme there’s only one winner there and that’s Sheffield

Ipswich have too long a tail and reliance will be on JD again

Use Google Chrome to translate From reading this looks like the Poles ain’t happy with any Russian riding on a Polish license doing any other league that Poland, the PZM stating they can block any rider on one of their licenses riding in a foreign league. This could definitely have more legs in it before it’s 100 % that Emil is in the 1-7 https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/1047428/zuzel-polacy-moga-zablokowac-transfer-sajfutdinowa-spore-zamieszanie-wokol-decyz

FFS can’t we put the 2022 Grand Final to bed and concentrate on the 2023 season?!!!? Hopefully with the team the promotion have put out for this coming season Sheffield will be up there again on the fighting for a trophy front

Both Kemp and Rowe had too much smoke blown up their arses, neither have really progressed and taken the next step even with all the gear etc, it’s OK saying they are riding in Poland u24 league but some of the Polish kids on that league are in their first year(s) on a 500cc bike. They both unfortunately are going down the same path as likes of Bickley etc by flitting around the reserve births in the Championship and only getting a Premiership ride as a guest

Agree 100%, when I watch BSN have to mute her, thankfully they seemed to have a different presenter on there at end of the season .

Holder Snr will be in the team for 2023

добро пожаловать Эмиль

100% Richie & Hans

See the dates for the 3 rounds are out now, slightly different to the initial info re locations of the 3 Round 1 - Wolverhampton 15th May Round 2 - Kings Lynn 29th June Round 3 - Ipswich 3rd August

From Sportowefakty it’s reporting that Rew is already home and won’t need an operation, hopefully for him it’s a quick healing process and he’s back on a bike at start of the season

Only Polish riders in UK so far don’t have Ekstraliga spots, although the Poles have ‘allowed’ riders to ride in more leagues this season it looks like there’s an unwritten rule that if your Polish and in Ekstraliga you can ride in one other league and they are all choosing Sweden.

Kyle will do a good job at number 1, he’ll get double figures home and away on a regular basis

Connor held his own at reserve for Sheffield and would be able to handle the number 6 spot. Regularly won heat 2 home or away and picked up plenty of scalps in heats 4 and latter heats

Both leagues for team building
