Will always remember Bjerre's move against Sayfutdinov (Coventry) in heat 15 at Lynn, was some awesome racing! He was crazy good at home that year!

How much I would love to have Nicki in the team... sadly just can't see it happening, too many commitments!

So are most of us expecting the team of Iversen, Schlein, K. Bjerre, Porsing and R. Lambert to be announced tomorrow?

I honestly don't know what the process is though when you have an english relative and what this entitles you too, it has been a loophole in the PL for a while now when Aussies with a close english relative can come in on a lower average, and it looks at present that this ruling hasn't been changed.. In regards to the draft I thought (could be wrong) that at some stage the riders on the draft must have been in the NL and he obviously wouldn't have been. I should imagine he will have a contract somewhere abroad again also.

Well he has won Aussie titles already! tbh I can't see how they can successfully get him into the draft list what so ever… more chance of him doing a Lambert and getting named in a 1-5, just my opinion. Even if a miracle happened and he was on the list would he be happy on that points money? unless of course he is given a "deal"

Todd came in on a 3 and also had a small stint in the NL when he first came over, yes they are brothers and have an English grandparent I believe.

Personally can't see it happening, you never know but would be surprised to see Doyley at Lynn! I do think KL would be crazy not to have Rory in the team and hopefully Mads and Niels to join him

Honestly don't have a clue how Rose was announced at the beginning of the draft, as at that time was an unprotected second round pick? But boy am I happy he is! To get both Lewis's in the team is brilliant news! edit to add a mock up team how about: N.K. Iversen, R. Schlein, M. Korneliussen, P. Ljung and R. Lambert = 31.53 I would like to see Kozza and Porsing back but just thought I would make a team with a different direction with trying to put Ljung in the team.

Unfortunately I take it, it's because none are in the 1st ten. But yes as I say if an EL team has young assets then they should be able to have first choice of all of them not just one or even none in your case being protected.

Because only assets in the first round of picks can be protected, he is in the second round.

They are all on the same deal

Yup totally agree, as my previous point already said should be fair to all EL team who have young assets but instead it looks like only one asset per EL team is protected. Any way it is what it is nothing can be done about it I personally don't hate the idea, yes I reckon it will weaken the league but I think its after about 2 or 3 years when we should be noticing a bigger difference as riders are developing well. I hope they try and make a big thing of the draft though I am sure we will simply only see a press release the day after, something like streaming it online with someone dread I say it like Pearson making a show of it would be fantastic but I should imagine the fast track draft lacks the finances and resources to make it any thing more than a group of people in a office pointing at paper shouting out names.

Gutted if the Swindon Advertiser is actually right and we only have one protected pick, Busters hard work of having a NL team only equals one pick I think is unfair! Any EL team who have a NL team should have first choice of any of their riders/assets in my opinion.

Who else has a feeling that we won't hear too much about confirmed riders until we have found out for sure if there will be a TV deal or not?

Hope so I get very impatient especially with other teams naming riders. In Buster and Rob we trust, hopefully fans forum soon!
