Hodder (RS) = 36.93 I think this is 99% certain, barring any last minute changes Kemp, Morris and J Thompson not returning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would fancy that more than the proposed Ipswich team I’ve heard but we’ll see. Shame for Joe though. New rules have really kicked him in the nuts along with a few others unfortunately, just as he was starting to make good progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Howarth definitely coming back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Irving Posted November 2 Report Share Posted November 2 Fricke hasn’t yet decided where he’s going. Hasn’t ruled out staying at King’s Lynn as of yesterday. Has options, as you’d expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe Sweden also is???.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted November 3 Report Share Posted November 3 (edited) 1 hour ago, Aries said: Belle Vue? His "low" average certainly is something that belies his capability, especially around the NSS .. And riding Mondays/Wednesdays would knock plenty of Thursdays off his schedule, as it would be away only he needed to ride.. Obviously if he signed in Sweden then it would be the only Polish meeting he had to do on Thursdays which may be more appealing..? I think the UK does have an issue given it's two nights a week structure, especially as Thursday is so close to the weekend "high pressure" meetings, which can start on Fridays.. GP/Top Level riders seem to start to pick and choose their schedule the more they get older, and if you have done a fair few years in Poland as a HL in the top league, you will have earned some serious money, so maybe not the same need to travel around Europe any more than you need to..? And the old adage of having to ride in the UK to be World Champion is well debunked, (unless those two races BZ did for Birmingham made all the difference?) 😀, so the best young foreign riders are not coming over like they were, with many of them also getting some incredible Polish contracts due to their capability and demand for their services.. The UK is almost being squeezed from above and below, and given so many riders are now at the "veteran stage" over here it does need some radical change ..

I think 5 of your suggestions are likely, I thought that if Cains leaves Belle Vue he was off to Ipswich to win the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you look at the past few years of the GPs, one bad meeting can be crucial in the season's record for a rider vying for the top spot. I know it was a joke when someone suggested BZ might ride for Ipswich to learn the track before the British GP. But it would be nice to think that the WC could ride a variety of tracks.

No, you must track two U21 riders with at least one having to be a home nation rider... The second can be UK or foreign... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
