Why do people constantly put lamberts name in the mix when he already done an interview stating he isn’t coming back to British Speedway until things drastically change, I don’t think he meant for the worse either. You have more chance of the new number 1 for witches being Christina Turnbull.

That is taking doubling up to the extreme. Possible though, she could always get back to the refs box and take a look a video of the race and then decide where she finished. Not such a bad idea after all.

Christina did well as the Leicester number 8 in 2024 😂

Good news not far away then, regarding the No 1 rumours about Woffinden/ Lambert, what's the chance of Lindgren riding over here again, and if so what his average last season.

My uninformed view is that Lindgren would be the more likely of the three.

The last I heard was that there were two line ups being considered, one with a GP rider and one without. With the riders still available, I think you could build a solid team without a GP rider.

Hopefully, not long until we find out.

Whoever it is I hope their salary is not big 🙂

Lets hope he doesn't want Sudden Sam rates when he cleaned up at reading for a year.

Freddie would be a great signing if they could get him one of the few on a par with Emil with excitement.

I think he'd be even more fun! Most of the time its only his races worth watching in the GPs

Last I heard there they hadn't been able to get a no 1 and Brennan was the likely no 1

That was a short while ago though so it may have changed

Loads of rumours flying about, last one i heard was Lindgren plus Brennan, King, Ellis and Nicholls at reserve with Edwards, plus one other.

Lindgren hasn't signed a contract in his home country so the 3 League Rule wouldn't hinder Mayfield if they did want to make a move for him.

Loads of rumours are doing the rounds at the moment but I'm sticking with Woffinden though because of the GP Wildcard Pick.

You’re not getting Nicholls at reserve on 5.55 in any scenario, even with Brennan at 1 let alone Freddie! Not in a 37 point league.

At the same time, if Noaksey is correct and we’ve gone strength in depth with Brennan at 1, we’re gonna need a far stronger rider at 6 than Jordan Jenkins that’s for sure.
