King's Lynn Stars 2026

[Daniel Smith]

The change HAS to be made quick sharp if King's Lynn has any hope of challenging. The side is currently running at 39.04. It absolutely needs a Castagna replacement ASAP.

Team average is 36.60.Cooper will get an average after Mondays meeting.I assume that comes in straight away.So they could utilise that extra 0.4 on top of Castagnas average before Monday.

Cooper's average change is irrelevant, Castagna needs replacing before 1st July or any changes become impossible thereafter.

But if you could replace Castagna before Monday for instance you have a 4.22 rider instead of a 3.82.That could give you a little more wiggle room,ie some untried foreigner on a 4.

After Monday if Coopers average changes immediately then you only have 3.82 to replace Castagna.Get an untried 4 pointer in now.

Cooper's average doesn't change the whole teams average, it's individual as a new rider. I think the confusion is people still think Castagna is currently 4.22, he isn't. He's already 3.82 as of 1st June but hasn't ridden since to update the rolling average.

Any replacements for Castagna will already be poor / risky change.

Is it worth giving Castagna the reserve birth or make the change is the question?

If it's change, it has to be NOW before he returns from injury & possibly lower his average further, even at No6.

Why won't it change the teams average when he gains his own average?I take it won't take effect for team purposes then until July 1st.

The team average for June is 36.60 and you can rebuild the team back to 37 but it has to be quick.This enables Lynn to use up to 0.4 on top of any riders average if they wish to change.Has to be done soon though.

My point is that 0.4 is irrelevant as teams never find replacements at the exact number. There is nothing of worth from the Championship averaging between 6.33 & 5.79 who could add anything to the team at reserve imo. There's no standout new foreigners on a 4.00 to choose from who wants the UK. 

King's Lynn's position is super weak right now, it's keep Castagna or employ basically a 3rd Rising Star.

Would rather King's Lynn look and try to get a foreigner in on a 4.00 at least it shows they are trying something.What have they to lose,Castagna is very poor anyway imo.

Agree about the Championship,there doesn't seem to be anyone capable even of filling Castagna's boots.

Just another long season by the looks off it.
