Jonas Jeppesen, Matthew Wethers, Thomas Jorgensen, Claus Vissing? Justin Sedgmen 7.35 Remaining 6.95 Paco Castagna 6.92 Kye Thomson 5.53 Jonatan Grahn 5.00 Victor Palovaara 5.00 Connor Coles 3.25 Or a 2 pointer and a MPT for example.

JanAndersen Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 If we go for a 2.00 rider it’s surely going to be McGurk? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should come the end of the month have around 10 points maybe touch more than that to play with to replace max and Oskar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should come the end of the month have around 10 points maybe touch more than that to play with to replace max and Oskar. Given that there is unlikely to be any home based rider likely to be available to replace the departed 6.00, maybe we should be looking at another Scandanavian rider ( if not already fully committed ). There may be others of course but examples such as Esben Hjerrild, Casper Henriksson and Rasmus Karlsson would probably fit into the 6.00 category, leaving some points over for a #7 i.e. when the new averages are released ?

Heathcote Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 If there is 10 points to play with why not go with James Pearson and Michael West, both currently in Europe and neither riding in the UK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Getting an overseas rider in at the drop of a hat (or a Pole) isn't as easy as it used to be before Brexit. They all need visas, etc, unlike when UK was part of EU. Ironically for Monarchs, Scotland voted resoundingly to 'remain'.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was 9years ago not 9 months 🤔The fact is not many want to ride in GB when better offers are in Europe. Brainwashed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the price increase of fish since Brexit I can't afford it anyhow, about £12 for fish and chips these days. Fish prices to my local chippy have increased 3 times since Xmas and Haddock just went up again. Someone is doing alright out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted Wednesday at 06:11 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 06:11 PM (edited) MPT will be replacing Oskar Polis come 1st June. On paper makes us more solid, but you never know how long palm Toft will stay fit. Was fantastic at Armadale last year.
