Thanks

I will wait until I see him ride and also see the make up of the other teams but bit worried based on the comments from people who have watched him. With one of the weakest reserve pairings in the league so far, I think we needed somebody who could step up as a heat leader. This does feel like 4 reserves. Poole are said to have also been interested. Monday November 23, 2015 COVENTRY have completed their 2016 line-up with the signing of rising Polish talent Kacper Woryna. The 19-year-old was a team-mate of Buildbase Bees skipper Chris Harris at Rybnik last season, and will now compete in British Speedway for the first time. Woryna has a strong family history in the sport as his grandfather Antoni finished third in the World Final in both 1966 and 1970, and also spent a two-year spell with Poole in the mid-seventies. Kacper himself has a good pedigree from his rise up the junior ranks in Poland, having become 80cc national Champion back in 2011 prior to signing for Rybnik. He made his debut for the club in 2013 and his achievements last season included victory in the individual Silver Helmet Final at Pila in late-August. Woryna has received warm praise from both Harris and fellow signing Krzysztof Kasprzak as Bees have considered their options for the final team place, which had to be a rider who would not also be racing in the Premier League, and who is not on the Elite Leagues heat-leader list. Promoter Mick Horton said: We always knew the last spot couldnt be a doubling-up rider, and it had to be someone who will be classed as a second-string. Chris had recommended Kacper at the time when we were doing his contract, although at the time he didnt know whether Kacper would be going to Poole as they were also interested. But Chris contacted him for us, and he was really keen to come over. Then when I did the deal with KK and he was asking me about the team, I asked him what he thought about Kacper and his words were very good boy! and then he sent me a message with a thumbs-up. I wondered whether he would get around the small tracks but Bomber thinks that wont be a problem - the Polish youngsters now do so much training on small tracks and also their English is superb. Kacper speaks perfect English. Having weighed it all up, and looking at who else we could bring in, I decided we would go for it. Rybnik are taking him up to the top league so hes got something about him, and its exciting for the club to bring in a new youngster. Weve worked hard to get our deals done and I think weve done well. Im very confident we have a team that can challenge strongly for the play-offs.

Wondered how long it would be before you started barking 😜 Newman was only ever going to be at reserve before the draft was put in place as he has been now for several years.

Garrity has ambition and wants to prove himself in the main body of the team. I think Newman would lose his place at Poole if he didn't agree to be on the draft. They don't like Brits in their top 5

I really like the play offs. I would also like to see the KOC return as teams that are at the bottom of the league and out of the play off fight early on still have something to challenge for.

Does anybody know much about Kacper Woryna? He's one rider I have seen linked with us.

Thanks 👍🏻

So back to the topic of this thread, with 7.37 points still available, who do people think we will sign or who would you like to see fill the last place?

Is this fact or rumour that many have turned them down? I think riding on a Saturday doesn't really help.

Yet he's not on here. It was Neil Watson Skidder was asking the question. As for stating Horton said things, I take it he said it to you and your not just going by hearsay

Please show me where Neil Watson has cast aspersions on another promotion?

Both Bech and Lindgren struggled at times last year and dropped their averages so could be a risk as heatleaders.

Maybe you should ask your own management or promotion those questions

I still think Fricke will be at Belle Vue but if not then Coventry would be likely to be another team he would ride for.

Anybody who has ridden in the EL before but not last year from what Skidder has implied. That leaves quite a few

Even better 👍🏻 Is Larsen on the HL list 😉

Coventry can still sign a rider up to 7.27 as long as they are not on the heatleader list. They don't have to sign somebody lower than King.

Has Scott Nicholls been confirmed yet? I thought he was on a 2 year contract so would have thought he would have been the first announced.

Think it should also depend on how much they averaged as a heat leader. King only averaged 4+ points yet is counted as a heatleader. I'm not really sure what the bspa's aim was of using a heatleader list and a higher point limit this year.

Hans rode most of last season as a heat leader. Davey watt is a bit harder like king as rode as both. However if king is on the list then watt will also be esp as he has a higher average

Do you see what we are saying though Lisa, regardless of what team you support? If the reason Buzz isn't on the list is because he didn't ride here in 2015, then surely that means Kaspazak isnt on it either. Both rode here last as heatleaders and neither rode here last year so same rules should apply. The only difference being that Buzz was a World Cup rider last year whilst KK wasn't

If that's the case then does that mean Kaspazak isn't on the list as he didn't ride here either last year?

Kaspazak didn't race here in 2015 yet he's on the heatleader list isn't he?

Just because we have up to 7pts left, that doesn't mean that we will be able to get a rider up to that. If Like Buzz, it is a rider who had ridden in the World Cup and is flying abroad and yet still not on the heatleader list then I will say the same.

I think the only people that can't see that are Poole fans. The same with Hans who has ride at Number 1 for years. One bad season doesn't make him a second string
