I thought someone said the rates had dropped I'm assuming the bottom chart is 2026 so the rates have actually gone up ?

They uploaded the other way round for some reason and I couldn't be bothered to edit. Also a typo from them but you get the idea.

Jenkins signed for Ipswich then I guess after posting one of the sponsors for 2026 is Suffolk floor restore.

That makes sense & I suspect that we’ll have Brennan,King & Jenkins back alongside Edwards from last year.

However I did hear a whisper that only 3 from last year were back.

So could 1 of  Brennan , Jenkins or King  be off to Northampton ??

Or really left field King is back but as Team Manager.

Interesting times

Jenkins seems a bit injured prone for my liking, had a few to many crashes last season.

[Baldyman]

If Jenkins get 25% off then fair enough, if not then he will have to have a good season,, like above, very injury prone. Jury is out for me.

His future lies in the Championship I think, 'hill of beans' and all that but you can't fault his desire and who knows.

If Jenkins is back, does that point to an SGP No 1?

I would be surprised if he is in a team that is more ‘strength in depth’.

Why are you so certain of this may I ask?

Looking at the relevant rules section it doesn't state anywhere the 25% is a one off? If he was allowed to drop back into the scheme then surely all the same rules will apply?

 

[SPEEDY69]

The rising star is Edwards though.

That's not what we are referring to. As jenkins was our rising star last year before being injured if a team signs him in the 1-6 this season i believe he should qualify for the 25% reduction on average for graduating the rising star scheme

[Baldyman]

If he doesn't get the reduction he will be 4.61 - 2.5%?   

[Witches1998]

Yes he will either be 4.61 -2.5% so 4.50 or -25% so 3.46

I read the rule that he should be 3.46 for the start of 2026

I'm not concerned when it comes to Jenkins, If it wasn't for injuries then I think his GSA would be even higher tbh.

Jenkins and Edwards will be the 3 & 4 Pairing for Redcar this season and more than likely the 6 & 7 pairing for Ipswich so that can only be a benefit to both Clubs.

Danny King will be the worry (If signed) because Mayfield will be signing him on a GSA attained mostly @ No.2 and depending on Team Building, Danny could very well end up riding as a Heat Leader this season.

A lot better options on similar GSA's like Tobi Musielak and Nicolai Klindt to name a couple.

The penultimate paragraph appears to imply a rider will only receive this discount once.

Not sure Rew is doing UK this season, and prefer to see Lawson in the rather then Tungate, wouldn't be surprised to see Ellis back unless he's lined up for Northampton if it actually happens.

I want Lawson as well.

Only reason why I didn't include him is because he was name dropped for Northampton.
