1. P. Kidermand 8.05 (confirmed)
2. J. Etheridge 5.45
3. V. Palovaara 7.35 (confirmed)
4. F. Gusts 5.49
5. N. Morris 6.86 (confirmed)
6. S. Lambert 4.48
7. M. Perry 2.29
TOTAL = 39.97
After a lot of thought; I think this is their best bet
1. D. King 8.59
2. T. Thomsen 4.81
3. T. Batchelor 7.10
4. J. Thompson 5.87
5. S. Nicholls 7.88
6. T. Spencer 2.00
7. ????
Joe Thompson signing number 3.
D. King 8.59
S. Nicholls 7.88
J. Thompson 5.87
=22.34
17.66 for 4 riders:
Perry 2.29
Thomsen 4.81
Barker 6.12 = 13.22
Leaves just over 4pts for a 2nd reserve, Klima?
Would provide Glads with just under .5 incase anyone isnt pulling their weight, avg's drop etc.
Alternatively you could have Batch (7.10) for Thomsen, leaves 2.15 for a 2nd reserve (T. Spencer)
Justin Sedgmen (7.34) returns for 2026, a very good signing for Edinburgh, time to announce Castagna next and thats a very good foundation.
Current total from DT, JL, JS = 18.03
Leaves just under 22pts for final 4, so lets say this:
Castagna 7.05, Harrison 4.97, J. Grahn 5.30
Leaves 4.65 for the last
Think it will be either Thomsen or Barker tonight, MAYBE Klima?
I still think Glads would be better off without Barker, genuinely think Batch is a better option, on a not too much higher avg.
Agreed, it would encourage Glads even more to get a 4.00 average reserve (Klima) so that they always have a strong reserve this season. Middle order gonna be big for Glads this year
