Hadn't realised that. 20.51 left if the pinned team building thread is to be believed, 7.66 (Ellis) & 5.55 (Sedgeman) would leave 7.3
-
I don't want any..... Rider X isn't doing Championship... blah, blah. And I can't be a***d to get spreadsheet out (Monday I would) If the Brummies signed two of Ellis/Ostergaard/Sedgeman what would remain for final rider?
-
FFS. Stay on topic I'll die at my desk!

darts is a dreadful spectator sport unless you're comatose. Average pint consumption per attendee at a Darts event was around 16.
-
Sadly that goes for an awful lot of modern day riders!
-
Really? Holder is pretty one dimensional. Fricke has qualified for GP's, won GP's, Holder hasn't.
-
So... sign a Pole who would miss every meeting at Redcar, Glasgow, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Berwick, Leicester & Scunthorpe?
-
No point in signing Poles who have a Polish league spot Almost all Championship fixtures are Fri, Sat, Sun the same days as the Polish league.
-
Don't see any weakness for Sheffield. Holder will be as good as any #1 except Fricke, possibly Doyle. Musielak, topped the averages in the Polish 2nd tier in 2021 and knows British tracks plus Cooke, Howarth & Ellis. Frankly they don't need the reserves to score a single point. But Mountain & Neilsen will anyway.
-
Sheffield have compiled a great septet. They will take some stopping. But you never know what will happen. If all things are equal, only Ipswich can upset Sheffield currently.
-
Because they have Fricke, who is currently better than Bewley?
-
Well, I definitely won't be attending if Brummies are only tracking 4 riders in a league where the other teams have 7! Seems strangely quiet for too long.
-
Lasse is still riding? Kenneth, along with Broc Nicol. It's not Woffinden & Jakobsen, but probably the best available. Bjerre maybe a few years beyond his peak but will be a solid heat leader on a track he knows. It's getting to the now or never stage for Nicol's European career, which he must realise. Had enough time to become accustomed & more opportunities than the average Brit his age is ever afforded.
-
It'll be Bjerre & Nicol.
-
There are almost no "small tracks" now Kirky Lame, Arlington & Purfleet are gone. Some riders couldn't be bothered to try to learn how to ride them then..... Why would they now? Give me a EoESg or NSS over Monmore, as a spectacle, but racing at "small tracks" is more interesting to watch than a follow the leader fest at a big (Swindon) or slick medium (Poole/Brandon) track.

Tungate is infuriating!
-
Things that fester too long in the same place go stale. That had happened with the Worrall's at Belle Vue. If he'd have returned, Cooke would have filled that 7-8 rider gap nicely.
-
Most of the riders listed are past their peak, but teams need experience. The exception is Jensen but I have no idea what he has done in the last few years. He isn't in Ekstraliga which is the only foreign league I watch & keep an eye on regularly.
-
If BV can get NKi & Jakobsen I'd go with that, seems unlikely though. NKi & Nicol doesn't fit, Zagar & Nicol does. I think. NKi has had a few injuries & has suffered but is still a good racer & quick around NSS.
-
Yep Finished above Doyle in GP series last year, Fricke is young enough to continue to improve, Doyle on downward spiral. Fricke was best Aussie in SoN, Doyle was poor.
-
No pressure then!
-
A 17 year old German with no British experience on a 4.00 average. Risky. I hope the lad has a Championship club lined up. Fricke will probably top the averages, decent back.up in the form of Wright & Kurtz, Brennan will improve. Think Aces need a couple of solid middle order scorers.
-
Leicester have 3 solid heat leaders who are not quite yet on a downward spiral & 4 riders with bags of potential who have some experience at least. Could be break through year for any of those 4.
-
That septet looks head & shoulders above any other announced team
-
E Winner and Div 2 league fixtures

Ugh. I'll have another date hunt then!
