Seen some riders mentioned there above but unsure on.

Edwards - I would take for sure decent rider and change of track may push him on.

Juul Pedersen - not for me watched him quiet a few times follow my leader with this guy got very limited passing ability.

Lambert - no no backwards step this for sure they guy has been around all the track but the last 2-3 seasons he has been on a backwards step.

Cluff - no again wins one race and has about 4-5 lasts very weak rider.

Jake Allen - similar rider to Batchelor been around the blocks but very limited in what he scores last resort for me.

 

Couple riders to consider - 

Klindt - obviously a name on everyone’s lips but will cost a lot and Saturday at 7pm will not suit.

Wood - I would take a punt on Dayle Wood progressed at reserve at Oxford and a decent gater.

Mulford - again decent number 2 or if the team built correctly could be a very strong reserve.

Upskill Teams

 

 

 

I actually think Simon Lambert improved quite a bit towards the back end of the season and looked relatively fast so still think there's something there for him

Can’t see Klindt (although I’d welcome him) other commitments and obviously the costs required to sign pay him would be high I imagine.

Grahn… seems a good rider and enjoys our track ?

Why is nobody mentioning Jeppesen? Is he not coming back?

Although he was a good rider, I always got the impression that Jonas never "gelled" with the fans, and possibly not with his team mates either. He was happy to turn up, ride, and dissappear asap. Unlike Tate who seemed to like the fans and got on well with them.  So to me Jonas wont be riding for us next  year.

Troy to Plymouth??

Theres nothing in it if distance from his home to a track is concerned, if thats a factor for Troy. Theres actually about 5 miles difference between where he lives and Workington, or where he lives and Plymouth !  Lol.

Absolute quality rider is Jonas and we got to see a lot of that this year, good signing if he’s interested in coming back.

Best ask @lewyas he seems to know everything about every team going by his posts 😜 Maybe he can tell us if Plymouth is running, as unfortunately last time I saw anything they were around 18k short of target for a new air fence

Thought I'd heard something last year that he was finished with UK speedway ?

I thought I’d heard that about Jonas also. Something about making a a lot more money at his day job. So dosnt want to travel to the uk any more.

I think the fact that one of them lived in Denmark and had a flight to catch, while the other one lived 10 minutes up the road might have had something to do with that.🤷‍♂️
