Flint (probably Glasgow), Klindt Jeppesen (probably Workington) Howarth (retired but rumoured to be going to Oxford) Zach Cook (not doing Championship) Craig Cook (unlikely to be signed) Although the rule is not actually in place anymore, I don't think you'll see anyone other than Oxford having more than 1 rider over 8.00, and Plymouth (probably) and Berwick will have none Klindt and Jeppersen are out based on riding in Denmark anyway. I don't think we need 2 over 8 riders anyway, better to have stronger reserves imo. And for once would be quite nice not to be favourites for once. Glasgow, Oxford, Scunny can have that!

It’ll have the strongest reserves in the league which is a plus, Castange isn’t an exciting signing but probably a logical one. It’ll be really interesting to see how they get on vs an Oxford type side, if Cairns can make the leap to a number 5 then it could be very strong, could be a big ask for him to as we’ve seen plenty of riders struggle to take the number 5, like Harrison, Rowe and even Zach at first! Plus more I’m sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky_Mark Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago (edited) Just wondering why everyone jumped from McDiarmid to Castagna. Is there anything in that or just guess work? Edited 16 hours ago by Marky_Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see where Mitch goes now, if he is still doing championship next season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennet and Slater, surely the strongest reserves in the league? But then Poole would’ve spent around 8.5 points where as some teams may have have only spent 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I would prefer another recognised heat leader and it is a shame there is no place for Newman but looks a very solid team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is so much improvement in that side though, whoever is at reserve will be strong. Paco would be a very sensible signing in terms of experience as would Kennett, both on figures they can increase. And the potential of the four youngsters is huge. Will take a very good team to beat that 1-7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWellBehavedWorrall Posted 5 minutes ago Report Share Posted 5 minutes ago Very little doubt in my mind Will Cairns can step into that second heat leader slot next season. He’s already developed at a ridiculous rate. He’s young and he’ll make mistakes, but he’s a big heat rider. His heat eight win against Redcar in the BSN final laid down a marker and set the tone for the rest of the meeting. Getting inside Mulford’s head at the tapes before that heat and although it was cheating, warming his tyres at Scunthorpe; those are dark arts of the sport Nicki Pedersen would be proud of. And he’s only 17! I just wish he’d stop using the word “super” in interviews, like a teenage America girl. “Super excited”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
