2022 PREMIERSHIP Predict the finishing order
Col replied to BartoszZmarzlikFan's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Fricke was in a struggling team and likely had to take more heat 15's than Doyle (same team as Sayfutdinov, Kolodziej & Piotr Pawlicki). -
2022 PREMIERSHIP Predict the finishing order

Impossible to say until Ace's are complete, but I can't see them being a strong as Sheffield regardless. I like the look of Ipswich. Not sure on Kings Lynn, depends what Kildemand is like. Wolves & Peterborough are underwhelming, but hoping a year at Monmore does Kemp some good. Fricke to top the Premiership averages. -
Why the objection to Sedgeman, he was decent at PB in Glasgow's win last year .. better than Wells 5.5 seems reasonable.
-
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!
