JJ is primed and ready to go, can’t imagine it’ll be long before he gets a Premiership spot. Would be the best reserve in the league if he were to replace Hellstrom-Bangs.

A good hard rider who won’t shy away from a first bend tussle.

If anyone wants to sign Jeppesen, they need to do it before his average goes up in May, his converted ave for May is set to be 5.65, in April he's available on 4.34!

Agree 2 x 6 Points for Jonas riding @ No.2 around Belle Vue and Leicester so far this season.

If the Club wants to give Scotty the full season as a farewell send off then a very harsh decision will have to be made on Hellstrom-Bangs if things don't improve imo because it's likely that Scotty is going to struggle to score a point around Belle Vue and Sheffield which will certainly be two of the four tracks come Play-Off time.

I said earlier on in the thread that Nicholls probably wouldn’t score a point and was called out for being negative. But I’m afraid it was pretty obvious. It will be a similar scenario at Sheffield unfortunately. 

I fear you're right, maybe he should have done an Ivan Mauger this season and just ridden at home. I assume he's just building up a nest egg this season in the PL

Scott said this will be his last season. Now whether that’s just the top flight with Ippo and continuing at champ level, or a complete retirement

It'll be interesting to see who covers for Phillip next month,  when I gather,  he will miss 3 meetings due to his ban. I suspect he will be more on the pace after that as he will be riding more meetings.

Nicholls? The guy's a legend and it was so sad to see him a mile off the pace at the back, don't know if he's still feeling the effects of his shoulder (?) injury the season before last? But I personally I don't think turning up with the mindset of "I'm crap round here" helps. He's always excelled on the smaller tracks due to his technical ability never so much on the larger "throttle jockey" tracks, maybe why he never really made it in Poland or the GP series.

I think as riders also get older they seem to struggle on larger tracks Hans Anderson was a top table rider but his last two seasons after a lot of knocks also he really lost his edge but could still chip in with some good scores around the smaller circuits.
