4 out the 10 GPs in Poland and his 2 main rivals out the running Zmarzlik will have one hand on the trophy. Series has gone flat before its started.

There is some suggestion they could maybe apply for a Hungarian licence.

I largely agree but I don't think Russian Oligarchs care about whether Russian athletes compete or not, they just care about their own finances.

I think this comes down to how the Russian people perceive this action of banning everything Russian, will they see it as Putin's regime being unacceptable or will they see it as the West picking on the average Russian.

Banning everything Russian may well have the opposite effect with Russian people and they might start agreeing with Putin that the West is bad.

I don't agree myself but I can't see Laguta or Emil in the GPs this year. I guess that will mean Dan Bewley and Jack Holder will get their chance. Its a while since GB will have had 3 in the GPs.

I am sure Putin will be devastated.

They don't always turn up anyway.

Togliatti GP must be doubtful now and still no word of the Oceania GP. Could be down to 10 rounds, 4 of which are in Poland, not a good look for a world series but I guess money talks.

I have read nothing about the fours meeting, is it happening this year?

Is David Howe still Ryan Douglas's mechanic? he could be useful in the pits.

Adam Ellis seems an obvious target on a 7.45 average 13.06 for the other 2...... has Crump retired? Josh Bates/ty procter

Douglas last 7 scores round scunny, 12+1, 10, 13+1, 13+1, 11+1, 14, 11+2 King's last 7 scores, 8+1, 11, 8+1, 13+1, 15, 4+2, 9 Douglas is in his prime and King has peaked

I would say Ryan Douglas is the best rider in the league around Scunny.

The final averages are now on BSPA website, I make it 41.53. Jorgensen on a 7.10 average.

Looking at the averages, was Thomas Jorgensen the original intention/target rather than Tero Aarnio.

Website says that the season will start with Josh Auty testimonial on April 15th, so the first home meeting will be the 22nd.

I am not sure how many fans will want to travel to Poole, strange choice.

I guess these sort of streams are mainly used by away supporters, so if Edinburgh can make it pay why not Scunny.

Where do you get the averages from?

Does his average need to be adjusted to remove Eastbourne scores? 1) C.cook 8.69 2) Ostergaard 7.82 3) Tom Brennan 6.03 4) Ben Basso 5.00 5) Broc Nicol 5.50 6) Danyon Hume 4.88 7) Connor Bailey 4.17 total 42.09 There must be a mistake in the above averages if this is the team.

Whats Broc's average then?

So is this going to be streaming meetings like glasgow and edinburgh?

Is Marcin Nowak not going back to Glasgow? I assume Cook is back who is the final rider, does Broc fit?
