Sounds like Rob Lyon is a fan.

Well done BV! 🏆

Yep I've heard Poringland too.

No idea why the forum clown has laughed at all that but I believe Jody had a 'trial' in Torun at the weekend presumably with a view to riding in their U24 side in 2027.

IF there was ever a way back for him into professional speedway I'd have thought it'd have required some serious contrition followed by a sustained period of impeccable behaviour. Which of course hasn't happened. So I suspect that's that.

The risk would be one of the reserves getting injured in heat 2 and the other reserve then having six rides to cover plus their own three - cant be done. Safety first approach is to go with a guest which is entirely sensible.

Check your direct messages 👍

I guess they could but again who is better? Sedge, Paco, MPT, Barker, Jeppesen, Batch all spring to mind buy its all much of a muchness really.

Not much choice. Rushen, Jenkins, Harrsion, Scott. Has to be from Lynn or Northampton.

Number one and reserves look good but too many unreliables in between.

Well done Bandits.

Ah yes forgot about the 5%

I think Blodorn, Ziscke and Cairns can cover at home adequately through R/R but a different matter away. Realistically Cooper is the only guest option IMO.

Flint's rolling away average is 8.00 and was only bettered by six riders who did the whole 2026 season. I'd also argue that he still has improvement in him too.

You're assuming that people are assuming!

Nope IRR comes into force during a meeting once a rider has to withdraw, I believe each ride taken by the injured party removes the ride that the highest averaged rider eligible at that point can take.

I think he was and he's been doing regular laps around Lynn for several years, and has talked about his good relationship with the promotion and his love of the track. All that said he's a free agent on October 31st like everyone else and could sign for whoever he wants for 2027. You would like to think Buster would move heaven and earth to keep him though.

I'm just glad this is going completely over my head 😂

I'm not sure promoters take notice of anyone on here 😁

Lets not forget how well he has done in the Prem though, averaging a shade under 5 in his first senior season with much of it in the top five is impressive. Not sure anyone could have expected any more.

Jody has been excellent this year. I think its easy to forget how young and inexperienced Cooper is sometimes. Hopefully they are both back, would welcome Fricke and Bomber too if they wanted to return but cho to the other three for me.

Could / would have got something out of that had Fricke not shafted Cook in heat 11. Which is quite remarkable after the dreadful start. Thank F 2026 is over!

I'd say the chances of that are extremely slim.

The sooner British Speedway can do away with guests the better.

Maldon.
