I reckon this is very close.

I expect Leicester to be

Ryan Douglas Max Fricke  Dan Thompson Nick Morris Drew Kemp Luke Harrison Freddy Hodder RS

I feel like Harrison should be RS & Hodder shouldn't be in the Prem yet.

Are the new rules "forcing" riders into the wrong positions too soon?

Up until a couple of weeks ago that was looking like the team apart from Np6 however as always happens in Speedway things change and riders change their minds  other options become available so team has to change .

I wouldn’t be surprised if Leicester were to have Two GP riders in 2027 if logistics can be sorted soon 

....Which would mean no Ryan Douglas then?

Harrison would have to be @ No.6 in that team if it's a 37.00 limit.

That Top 5 would mean that Leicester have to use a No.6 on a 3. something average.

Not necessarily if said rider is allowed to return on their previous average achieved in the Premiership which only seems fair along with being good for British Speedway to have another GP rider in the UK

What's the proposed limit flagrag? Douglas, Fricke and Lambert would come to over 25.00 Points.

Could be referring to tungate? Nilsson?

Not really needle movers that would bolster the profile of British Speedway tbh.

Lukes average was 3.00 at Northampton,  if he moves out of the rising star programme he would get a 25% reduction in think, could not ride at no7 and if I'm right could not return to the rising star programme for the rest of the season. 

The likes of Joe Thompson and Jason Edward will get the same 25% reduction as they will be to old for the programme now.

He would but the minimum average for a No.6 is 3.00.

Surely Luke Harrison would remain in the scheme and be Leicester’s #7..

That makes a brilliant team building average for Joe! Sure Mr Dickson will make the most of that😉

Think you could be right. Those pair are GP riders by definition only and would no doubt try to command a financial package to reflect this status. Neither of them are likely to pull up any trees (as their last UK averages would no doubt reflect). Nilsson hasn’t ridden here for a few years but Tungate was awful for Oxford a couple of seasons ago. Makes you wonder how committed they’d be with regards to having good bikes and set ups in the UK as well. The Lions management are no mugs in these situations (hopefully).

Sounds exciting up Leicester way if things come to fruition. Harrison will be one of it not THE strongest rising star, and a spearhead of Fricke and Douglas is formidable.
