And does that apply to Freddie & PK dropping it in the Wolves-Swindon final ??? ............. thought not!

Swindon should replace Krucmar with Busk-Jacobsen, Richie Worrall or Aaron Summers.

Spot on. He had the chance to be humble but instead told us how it had benefitted him! No expression of remorse or apology. He just didn't seem to get it. Fantastic talent on a bike but somewhere between arrogant and thick as a person.

Hans says nothing? That must be one boring book!!!

Presumably this year's Tier 1 riders will not be eligible as fast track reserves next year & their PL averages will be used for EL team-building? Blackbird, Newman & Garrity look good enough already to be in the 1-5 & to replace some continental journeymen but the others may just slip back into the PL.

On the BSPA website Josh G is in the new Poole team declaration effective immediately (today) so it's not a case of him being used as an occasional guest.

Let's send out a search party ................... ............ back

Magic is very good but will be spread more thinly with the GPs so can't see an increase in his average. (The same for Watt & North who are at their level). Gomolski??? One minute flying, the next a wobbling novice over-shooting corners & slipping off. Likely to lack commitment to the EL too. Maybe a 5 pointer.

Swindon & Poole about the same, with top fives that could beat anyone on any track. Kings Lynn next, assuming Schlein is back to form & Morris isn't a disaster. Belle Vue solid middle 4 & less question marks than Leicester & Coventry with some aging riders & dodgy Poles - the Bees blew it with their last signing when they could have had Kylmakorpi - & Lakeside & Wolves lacking heat winners against the top three's better riders & away from home: Swindon Poole Kings Lynn Belle Vue Leicester Coventry Lakeside Wolves

Yep, it's all going pear-shaped!

All gone a bit stale on the South Coast. Matt had better wait until Bournemouth score another 5 before he announces Screeny & Stonehewer!

....... until Klindt turns up!

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear SCB, despite the plethora of 6.5 point riders you sign a no-hoper 5 point Pole leaving the Bees 2 points short of the limit!!!!!

Matt Ford's been unavoidably detained due to Steve Shovlar asking him a month ago to do something with his hair!

Calm down, calm down. Coventry scraping the barrel?

Hmmmm Coventry not quite the settled side you thought??? Glad Swindon have a full team!!!! I think you'd give this a BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ah, that'll be your Poole attitude - dump this year's rider & sign anyone "better" because winning's all that matters!

Well done Wolves for picking Ricky Wells over Ben Barker or Mads K. The promotion should be praised for showing faith in riders who are committed to Wolves & for providing continuity for the fans. Much better than teams chopped and changed with opportunistic journeymen each year.

“He was going to come over to the UK last year, but he didn’t because he wanted to finish his apprenticeship in carpentry, so he’s obviously got his head screwed on...." Screwed on? Surely it would be a mortise & tenon?

5/1 against Poole with Holder & Ward???? lol There'll be 5-1 in every heat 13 & 15 all season!!!

Miedzinski will probably score as well as Peter but just a feeling no one will get behind him as a half-hearted EL Swindon rider but sadly that's a sign of the times with our assets, Biggest mistake we made was letting Zagar go after 2009.

Maybe the best we can hope for is Bjarne Pedersen & Shamek Pawlicki. 33.29.

Allowed only two above 7 anyway!

That's a great idea. How about it, Phil?

Great signing by a promoter showing ambition. Unlike Swindon
