Looking at that Somerset team, I bet Holder is relieved to not announced there as well.

Only 9.40 left so no Holder So far there is mainly last year's EL second strings or fast draft riders. No stand out reserves either. It looks more Championship than Premiership

Yes and if they were in the PL I would say they would have a strong team again. However so far it looks average for the top flight. Could there be a big number 1 signing still to come

When you think K Bjerre is 8.22, almost 9pts is a lot for Josh. Must be a rider like Holder to be announced to offer a strong top order

He is a bit of a risk on 8.90 average. 27.89 left for the last 4 riders

Good start esp Paul Starke who was one of the best draft riders last year Josh G is the 3rd rider announced

He has potential. Looking at the number 7s announced so far, i can see why Bates was in demand.

What average is he?

We now have Coventry & Swindon completed. Rye House to be completed tomorrow and Wolves & Poole half way there. With only 32 places left, a lot of riders are going to find themselves without a team place next year.

New rules with regard to doubling up and who gets priority when there are clashes Priority will be with the 'owning' Club, If the rider is not owned by either club he is racing for, then if the rider rode for one of the clubs in the previous season, they get priority. If he rode for neither or both clubs then the team in the league he is an asset of gets priority. That means the following clubs have priority over the double up riders announced so far: Danny King (Coventry) Jason Garrity (Coventry) Lasse Bjerre. (Coventry) Lewis Kerr (Scunthorpe) Josh Bates (Sheffield) Jack Holder (Poole) Kyle Howarth (Sheffield)

Not on EL tracks he's not.

Thanks. So we have priority over all the riders except Kerr?

Thanks. Hadn't been on yesterday so wasn't aware 👍🏻

Thanks. 👍🏻

The rule is you can have as many as you like as long as no more than 2 from the same championship team. Coventry so far have 4 double up riders. Could be 6 if Garrity & Sarjeant double up 😮

No Championship club yet for Garrity & Sarjeant. Think both would benefit from one esp James as needs as many meetings as possible if he's going to improve again. The problem is we got really frustrated last year with the jump starts & poor form so I imagine that might put some clubs off signing him. If both did sign for a championship team then Coventry will have 6 of their 7 riders doubling up 😮 I know we would get priority with Garrity, Sarjeant, King & Kerr. Sheffield get priority with Bates but who is Bjerre an asset of?

Jason Garrity can be added to that list as well

As a PL rider he has been developing but He wasn't good at EL level when he rode for Swindon. I think when you look at him compared to reserves like Bates & Klindt, I think Rye House may struggle esp now reserve races aren't protected anymore.

I thought they looked likely to come to the tapes with BSPA support?

That's a shame as I would have loved to have him back with Coventry. Our loss is Poole's gain.

He is a heatleader now though so I can't see Ellis scoring the inflated average. It's a big step to go from a good reserve to a heatleader. The old format means he won't be protected anymore.

I have. Still nothing to do with Coventry. Every time somebody with English as a second language misspells a word, it doesn't mean they are joining Coventry. Think he's just made a spelling mistake if this is what you are talking about. It's nice to bee important ...but it's more important to bee nice 😉😉👊🏻

It doesn't look as bad now Swindon's team is complete. Depends on how the other teams look once completed

Both Zach and Andersen rode at King's Lynn in the U21 championship http://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/15726/world-final-kings-lynn-2016

Zach has in the NL. He's already rode at Coventry, King's Lynn, Rye House & Belle Vue But different though coming out against NL riders and coming out in unprotected heats against Lindgren, King, Harris etc. He's a rider who should add abit of excitement. It might be a disaster or it could work out really well like Pawlicki did when Rosco gave him a chance. What average does he come in on?
