7 home debuts, what did you expect? Had Musielak, Zagar, Jepperson or Jepson-Jensen ever actually competed in a competitive race at Perry Barr before?
-
I can't remember who said experienced teams start the season well, young teams come good at the end.
Let's hope so.
-
Aside from the top two who were very good, Belle Vue offered very little. Cook & Zischke must be allowed a few meetings to settle, but Lidsey, Blodorn & Mulford should have done more. Brennan performing so well bodes well for GB, kept Kurtz at bay and good battling point in his first ride.
-
Doyle has won how many Peter Craven memorials? Brennan spent a couple of seasons with the Aces while King & Ellis have won British Championships at the NSS. How are the Witches going to struggle?
What is the point of doing rider/team manager interviews while the mascot is doing laps - no one can hear anything they're saying.

Hi, this is my first post here, and this is going to be my first team speedway match for about 25 years. Just wondering if anyone can give me a bit of travel advice - I'm trying to get back to Liverpool on the train after. I'm planning to come to as many as I can this year so I'm trying out ways of doing it.
7.30 start
What sort of time is it likely to finish?
25min bus journey to Picadilly
there's a train at 10, last one at 10.47
Do you think this is feasible or ridiculous?
Cheers!
Assuming no problems - weather or crashes, should be finished 21:15. That's my hope anyway, so I beat the any roadworks on the M56! They usually start closing lanes at 22:00.

Micheal Jepsen Jensen 7.50
Jonas Jeppesen 4.50
According to a Facebook post by British Speedway today. -
There used to be a very good website with seasonal history & rider profiles for Cradley Heathens. I googled it this morning to look for something but couldn't find it.
Is it no more?

From 12 fixtures Gusts averaged 2.43 (0.607) in Ekstraliga for Wroclaw in 2024, replacing Woffinden post injury. Less than Anders Rowe.
From 2 fixtures Gusts averaged 4.40 (1.10) in Eliteserien. On a par with Adam Ellis.
Struggling to find much else on him league wise, didn't seem to race in Denmark -
Great signing, had seemed to be on wain but after replacing the injured Doyle for Grudziądz in the Ekstraliga last year he was solid for them.

Kurtz maybe slightly better than Jack in Britain right now… but overall Jack is better
Kurtz had a great 2024. Big year for him back in the Ekstraliga & GP debut season. I'd take Kurtz over Jack Holder, probably not quite as quick when the track suits him but more craft & far less selfish.

Riding at number 6...Not ave 6...
That would mean Rew & Jepperson at #2 & #4. Brummies would need Zmarzlik as the other rider to be competitive is Sedgeman signed

Worth a go on that ave at 6...
Sedgeman on 6.00? He's never averaged that. He'd be an Ok reserve but I doubt Jepperson would be much more and Rew should be riding at 2. I couldn't make that not rhyme. Sorry. Brummies need two riders that can be more than solid reliable middle order merchants at the very least... ideally they need one of those & a rider that can push Musielak for #1.

Is the Oxford team that bad? It’s a similar match up to Kings Lynns in my opinion.
Spires have more chance of being competitive in heats 13 & 15 than Stars do. One good T/S works against teams that are built on overall strength.
-
If the Swedish duo of Kim Nilsson & Jacob Thorsell complete the Brummies septet it has an aging but reliable solid look to it

Better than NKI Blodorn, continental Milik and Harris but only a number 2?
He has considerably less experience on British tracks than those riders, if he averages more than any of them in the premiership I'd be surprised.. Blodorn will be at #2 for the Aces most of the season I'd suggest. Considering how the Stars team has been built, NKI will probably have a period at #1 and a period at #6, when all were fit for Kings Lynn last year NKI rode at 2. Harris likewise will probably spend some time as Stars #1 and at reserve.

Don't know a great deal about him TBH, I've seen the name on scorecards but not much else.
Haven't had time to look any further than Sportwoefakty. He averaged 7.32 in the Polish third tier in 2024. Higher than Worrall, less than Riss.
Averaged 7.11 (1,779) in Denmark in 2024 for Esbjerg, second in their averages. Less than Becker & Holder Snr but more than Blödorn and NKI.
From 4 fixtures, averaged 5.26 (1,316) in Elitserien for Vargarna, Less than Douglas & Tungate but more than Milik & Harris.
Last appearance in the UK was for Somerset in 2018 in the top tier where he averaged 3.81 from 6 fixtures (2 home, 4 away), plus two appearance in the second tier with Ipswich where he averaged 4.00.
Finished 5th in Danish Individual Championship last year, 7th in 2023, 10th in 2022, 7th in 2020.
Looks like he'd be a solid #2 but not anymore than that.

And what Ave does Zagar come in at i wonder ???
His 2022 average attained with Belle Vue, obvs.
Jepperson should be on 4.0-5.0 no more if assessed.

Is he any good? Also, it's a Rogers signing so I'm sceptical?
I thought Adams was the manager?

I have a hunch he'll double up with a CL Club too and thy may have been waiting for Brummies to announce.
Unlikely to be available to ride many weekend Championship fixtures if he is riding in Poland again next year.
-
Kildemand didn't appear to ride in Poland last season. Last stats I can find for him are 2023 Stal Rzeszów when he averaged 7.68 (1,919) in the second tier, for reference that's lower than Krystian Pieszczek & Jacob Thorssell who were in the same team.
Can't see that Kildemand rode in Elitserien either last year.
He did ride in his native league, averaged 4.93 (1,232) for Fjelsted. A little more than Adam Ellis & Nicolai Klindt averaged, but distinctly less than Luke Becker & NKI. -

Millik...Pawlicki...Worrall 😀😀😀 lol
Milik on a 4.11 average is worth a punt.

If Janowski can hit the ground running next season he'll be top 5 in the averages. Are Spires going to start with Tungate &: Janowski as their spearhead?
If so a solid 1-6 can be forged with points aplenty available.

He didn't really prove himself a number 1 at Kings Lynn last year, he was signed as third heat leader originally by Sheffield behind Holder & Ellis, he certainly surpassed the latter but not the former. Briefly in the averages maybe but not over a season. Musielak average is 8.2ish... Doyle, Sayfutdinov, Bewley, Kurtz, Fricke, Holder * 2 & Woffinden are all on higher starting averages. Making him the 9th best rider in the league in theory.. only 7 teams, wouldn't make him a genuine #1 in my eyes.
