No, seems like all rising stars will be announced at the same time, presumably after the AGM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think an injury free season for Cook and he can improve on 6.whatever he is on but we shall see. Oh for sure mate! An injury free season for Cook and he takes his average from 6.39 up to at least 7 in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunce Posted December 30, 2025 Report Share Posted December 30, 2025 I'm curious. In all my years of following Kings Lynn Speedway, I've always known it as "Saddlebow Road" However, looking on Google maps today I noticed they show it as "High Road" Even the Stars web site gives it as Saddlebow Road so I'm puzzled? According to the map, Saddlebow Road stops at the roundabout half a mile up the road then past the stadium its High Road. Anybody else noticed that?

Manifesto Posted yesterday at 09:45 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 09:45 AM A better looking KL team. In last years league it still wouldn’t be fancied to win the league but with a weaker league you’d have to say it’s a solid lineup. if Kvech can get up to a 8 point average they will be hard to beat at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure he has the consistency to do that but we’ll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvinht Posted yesterday at 07:58 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:58 PM Should be well within his capability - most teams will have one top rider rather than two and be weaker down the order. Even without a massive step up, he'll be up around 8 average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point but I would rather they took a chance on a 4 point newcomer on the chance on maybe unearthing a gem rather than a rider who has probably peaked at a seven point man in the championship and a 3-4 point man in the premier.

I'm not sure anyone any good on a 4 is willing/able to come over to the UK for a whole season unfortunately, if at all. While Paco has his limitations his experience will be useful with a very young reserve pairing and of course what he brings off track too.

I believe he was 16 when he made his debut in 1975. For Boston and Lynn He averaged 7.43 that season for Lynn in the top league. At 17 he averaged 9.43, at 18 it was 10.59. 19 was 10.23, 20 was 10.21, 21 was 10.14. All this was for Lynn in the top league. He was something special for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time nobody had heard of him, but he headed out on what looked like a brand new bike, dug himself a hole at the starting gate then left the tapes like a rocket ship posting a time not too far off the track record! Everybody stopped drinking their beer and thought... what the hell did we just witness there? The rest, they say, is history. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
