Bewley's the dream replacement for Emil (Dreams do come true sometimes lol).

However let's say Bewley is a NO GO and we're allowed to pick one rider who finished the 2025 season in a declared 1-7 to replace Emil then who are you picking and why?

Musielak for me because he can ride technical UK tracks well, Has expressed an interest in riding for Ipswich in the past and his GSA represents value.

Pickering. Never gives up & appears to be a good team man. Certainly steer clear of the brothers grim.

Another rider who I'd target if No TV deal happens is........Scott Nicholls.

Last Premiership GSA was 5.69 (5.55 after 2.5% Reduction) and he'd score bucket loads around Foxhall @ No.2 imo.

Got to take into account multiple situations to be fair

The dross Birmingham had.

Tobi getting 6 Rides most weeks.

Some tactical EF's to avoid ending the season with a much bigger GSA that would've seen him at a bottom end club again.

But non of that is a factor on his away performances at Sheffield or belle vue when he barely beat the opposition , I like Musielak and he is a friend and I would have him in any team but he was very disappointing on tracks where he should of been good

He was disappointing at those tracks but not many away Heat Leaders get the better of the Home Riders on those tracks tbf.

Nicholls would be on a Champ converted ave now (5.25). Based on his last Prem matches, that's great value. But for next year I'm not so sure. Another couple of years older, plus an injury affected season.

He'd be one of the first names on the team sheet for me on a 5.25 tbh.

With a rumoured 36.00 Limit, Teams have to find track specialists on GSA's between 5.00 & 5.50 imo especially if they want to have a strong No.1/No.5 combo.

If he rides like he did last time in the Prem, then would be a great signing. Maybe you're convincing me it would be a good move

It wasn’t just heat leaders it’s was second strings and reserves too, he was beat by flint and rowe at Sheffield earlier this year scoring 3 points from 4 rides
