Yeah trying to put together a competitive side including brennan, king & Jenkins with 18.95 for the other 3 and nobody higher than a 7.05 as brennan is at 1... tricky!

OK after going through the entire thing found this section much higher which does seem to clarify the 25% only applies once so that should settle that. Guess Jenkins will be a 4.50 after all! Why this is in a different section who knows...

Yes he will either be 4.61 -2.5% so 4.50 or -25% so 3.46 I read the rule that he should be 3.46 for the start of 2026

That's not what we are referring to. As jenkins was our rising star last year before being injured if a team signs him in the 1-6 this season i believe he should qualify for the 25% reduction on average for graduating the rising star scheme

Why are you so certain of this may I ask? Looking at the relevant rules section it doesn't state anywhere the 25% is a one off? If he was allowed to drop back into the scheme then surely all the same rules will apply?

Pretty sure Pollestad would be a 6.00 looking at the last assessed averages rules. They either are 4.50 or 6.00 not a 5.00 anymore

Rushen is 3.00 making it 36.85

Currently minimum is 3.00 in prem

Perry isn't retiring. His racing page on Facebook half hour ago put a post out looking for sponsors and looking forward to next season

010.2.3 Amended MA’s With the approval of the BSP LTD GC or Directors for: - b) riders who have been absent for more than 1 full season due to a speedway injury So this is the relevant bit from the rulebook. Doesn't specifically state its an 8% reduction, just that it can be amended?

Why would Tai get 8%? Usual brit reduction is 2.5%?

According to the latest GSA on speedway GB site Ipswich only have 1. Doyle is a 7.91 Only emil over an 8.00 Leicester do with fricke and Douglas

Was interested too, checked averages and THINK they mean Musielak

He posted that Monday would clash with a Swedish rearranged fixture but that the Ipswich Semi would have priority

Brennan has already confirmed in a comment reply to that post that Britain would have priority as its their race night

Emil cannot take an IRR. IRR is only below not the 1 above like normal RR is

Just seen this on twitter, Doyle back riding today it seems?!

Hawkins confirmed riding order for next week as: 1) Doyle 2) King 3) Ellis 4) Brennan 5) Sayfutdinov 6) Thompson 7) Jenkins but that he is likely to move it around as usual throughout the season

No, Harris would be eligible for Ipswich. The rule is if you guested in the semi then that is the only team you could guest for in the final

Does that mean Ipswich can sign a replacement even though we are past the cut off date? 😉

Can anyone explain how Harris is allowed to guest for Sheffield in this please? 011.4.2 section H, should rule him out for Sheffield after guesting for Ipswich's home leg of the semi-final against Birmingham?

As per the rulebook as he is in the top 5 R/R is an available option

Are there any other names you know of which are on the definitely not list?

Different rules if the RS has moved into the top 5. R/R is then an option
