Agree, I think we'll see him in the UK in 2027 if he doesn't get the final wildcard for the GP's tbh (Assume Bewley and J. Holder are two of the three)

Having heard & read Coleman’s comments about our squad being too old I can’t see him going for Freddie. To be honest we need to look to the future and get some young blood in there.

As for Holder is he even going to be fit the last update wasn’t great.

Unless Coleman is a very good poker player and was just keeping things very close to his chest, then forget Bewley. I was the one who brought him up in our conversation because it seemed an obvious fit with the Wroclaw stuff, and he immediately dismissed that idea out of hand. Could take that two ways I suppose, he was being sincere, or it was a deflection and he wasn’t giving anything away. My take was that it was a non starter.

Pawel Sitek?

Don't see us having a young No.1 tbh unless Woryna is on an 8.50 rather than the 8.00 that I assume (He'd start as a No.1 then)

My very early vision for a 1-5 is something like this at the moment.

 

1. J. Doyle, M. Fricke or F. Lindgren

2. 5.00 Polish Youngster via the Wroclaw agreement (Marcel Kowolik? Kevin Malkiewicz? etc.)

3. K. Woryna

4. D. King or T. Brennan

5. T. Musielak

Cant see it being someone as established as the 2 you mentioned. Based on the below Kowolik would be a 6.00 and crazily Malkiewicz a 7.50 (based on his 1.506 per race average being 6.024 converted to 4 races)

Would be someone hitting the 4.50 bracket at a guess?!

I just threw out the first two names that came into my head without looking up on what averages they'd be given tbh.

Thanks for the screenshot, Woryna defo an 8.00 then.

Not at the moment, but they’re trying hard to get him in. They like him a lot.

He looks decent from what I've seen of him this season in a struggling Ostrow side.

Would make sense as well if he was to sign for Wroclaw.

8.00 or 7.50? He will have been a GP rider for two consecutive seasons after next year, prior to that he’s only been a GP rider for a season. 
 

Depends how that is interpreted. 

[WookieboyDon]

Other Wroclaw riders to consider that haven't been mentioned so far:

 

Bartlomiej Kowalski

Nikodem Mikolajczyk

Mikkel Andersen (although I'm guessing his preference after Poland will be Denmark)

Francis Gusts

William Drejer (again, Denmark calling)

Patrick Hyjek

I read that as full time GP Riders 8.00.

But riders who've ridden 1 full GP season and then competed in other GP's as a Wildcard or injury replacement would qualify as 7.50.

At worst we're looking at under 25 Points for a No.1, Musielak and Woryna.

I'm reading it as Woryna GP Rider this season and next.

However would the 2027 season count towards the average assessment despite the GP's getting underway after the British League has started?

Depends how it’s interpreted. If he’s signed next Winter he’d have been a GP rider for two consecutive seasons, 8.00.

This winter, he’s technically BEEN a GP rider for one season, 7.50.

Does to me too. By their own wording, the pivotal word is “been” but who knows with this lot.

Can’t see why people don’t see Doyle staying at Belle Vue and Witches going in for Bewley. Ties to Wrocław and obviously Coleman said we may interchange/share the riders. Bewley said he likes Foxhall and the fans and I believe he is the type of character that the Foxhall faithful would love to have. Bewley, Łaguta Tobi as the front three big hitters.

Two out of them three yes but no Laguta you just don't want riders who only fancy it half the time particularly with what he would want per meeting, I'm still not convinced Woryna is the way to go either going from big open tracks to Ippo and seems a danger to himself and others even when he has plenty of space let alone a tight track.

Get him in! Wanna be entertained or not? This fella provides it in bucketfulls. No matter which British club signs him, id travel to go and watch him. 
 

I think this “danger” tag gets overplayed anyhow. All i see is a gutsy ballsy rider who isnt afraid to go for gaps. Ive seen Fricke be much harder than Woryna in the Grand Prix’s this year!
