My guess as to the identity of the mystery "comeback" rider at no.6 is the 1970's one-match wonder, the flaxen-haired Dane by the name of Red Herring.

"Big Leggy" Geoff Powell probably rode for Workington, Glasgow & Berwick, but not sure if he rode for Edinburgh?

Great memory, or did you look that up lol!

Schlein started 2024 on his final 2023 average. Didn't get any discount.

Patryk Dudek at one?

Whichever of the 1-6 are at 1 & 5 are going to struggle for their period in those positions.  Whichever of the 1-6 are at 2 &  6 should thrive in those positions. The 4 & 5 should hold the own. Can the 2 & 6 get the team a big enough lead before heats 13 & 15, where this team will be pretty much conceding 8 points home & away (two 5-1's against). Teams built this way are less capable of taking advantage of tactical substitutes & are more susceptible to tactical substitutes.
