Fits fine.     (Get a new calculator!)

Chris Holder    6.84
Anders Rowe    5.22
Leon Flint    5.06
Jye Etheridge    3.00
Luke Killeen     R/S
    
 Total              36.96

Calculator is fine. Just the idiot operating it. Failed to apply full 25% discount to Flint's average.

The FIM website has Woffinden a Sheffield rider. A mistake?

Initially thought they could be the riders 2025 clubs, but there’s no Ipswich on Doyle’s and Fricke has Lynn as his GB club..

Neither 😂

Night shift. Finished at 7 this morning. Bath and bed for me! 😴

If Woffinden has signed on again, that would leave 9.19 for last two. A 3 pointer at Six leaves 6.19.

Janowski (already has three clubs?)

Rew

Ellis

Tungate

All fit. Would obviously mean no place for Pickering, Chris Holder or the rumoured Tom Brennan. 
 

Unless of course Woffinden gets a bigger reduction for spending the entire year out injured? And if it’s not a genuine oversight on the FIM website.

That's thrown a spanner in the works.

SpeedwayGP website also lists Kurtz at Belle Vue so I'm not sure that it's an error.

It's a weird mistake to make unless someone has done it on purpose as we've seen Top Heat Leader signings for British Clubs being spoilt in previous seasons via apps.

Rumour is Mayfield Sports are the takeovers at Ipswich so Woffinden as the Ipswich No.1 makes all the sense in the world.

Well on the 2025 rules and regs it says the following for average amendments-

010.2.3 Amended MA’s With the approval of the BSP LTD GC or Directors for: -

 d) riders who have been absent for more than 1 full season due to a speedway injury  

 

So from that, I'd suggest woffy is likely to get a higher deduction than the standard 2.5%.

 

That being said, I'd say it's more than likely a mistake on the speedway gp site. I cant see woffy doing the gps and the UK, I fully suspect his focus will be elsewhere. And especially for Sheffield I can't see a side where we wouldn't include picko. 

I'd be very surprised if it's anything other than the 7 already touted.

No mention of a percentage- like a lot of things in speedway they'll just make it up as they go along!

Sure its 8% for every full season

Takes his GSA down to 7.77 after adding the 2.5% British Reduction discount as well.

If you mean the 8% reduction mentioned in the recent AGM, this is for Championship only.

Oh oops, didn't see that bit, but surely its gotta be the same rule across the board, as in all leagues, but then again it is Britain speedway we're talking about so god knows😆

Do they have his other 2 clubs correct for 2026 ? And was he one of their announced riders before his accident ?

But Tai qualifies under the old rule that has been in the rulebook for several years, so gets his 8% reduction come what may.

 All his clubs on there are correct. Every rider have there 2026 clubs. 

 

I remember they did this a few years ago, putting riders clubs down before they were actually announced

It makes sense being a Champ only rule, means a rider like Nathan Ablitt who upped his average then doesn't get a team, gets a better chance if returning etc. Not sure it'd be ideal of a rider like Robert Lambert could come back on a far lower average in the Prem if he missed multiple seasons just racing abroad.
