Zach scored another 8 points including 2 wins (one over J.Holder - the eventual winner). He made it to the first semi-final.

Bragging rights to Sheffield then as Jack Holder crowned Aussie Champ after Doyley leading for the first 3 rounds!!!

Not according to Danny Ford who stated up until the pre-AGM Board meeting (a couple of weeks prior) the points limit was still 42 points but it all changed at the AGM. I'm seeing him this week so I'll ask him.

He didn't go too bad at the Flux Arena the first and only time he'd even seen the place!! 8+3 riding at 2.

Nothing to do with the unavailability of certain rider then?!

I'm really not that posh Guvnor!!

I have him at 3.56 less 2.5% = 3.47

Less travelling expenses for the Bears!!

Kyle Newman (4.29) is a Poole Pirate once again and will start at number 6.

From what Danny was quoted as saying in a recent Speedway Star, I'd imagine an announcement some time this week. I'm meeting him on Friday so things may well become clearer by then!

Agree. I do however hope Nathan gets a Championship place later on and proves what he can do.

It would have been Jack Thomas at reserve in any case as his average is lower than Zach's! Poole could have kept Ablitt and gone for a Ruml/Nicol option to make the points fit, but neither had a particularly good 2022.

He sits in 9th place overall after 2 rounds with 12 points. Round 3 tomorrow (Monday).

Poole to strengthen and/or Leicester to weaken for this one. As a Poole asset, Lawson to ride for Poole maybe?

It's not a Premiership fixture. I guess all will become clear when the Championship fixtures are made available. This Inter-league Challenge ( as it now is) is expected to be to start the season.

Is Adam Ellis available (7.13)?

You seem to assume that visas/work permits are not a problem?!

Adam did co-commentary for BSN for some meetings last season - mainly Midlands/Southern ones if memory serves.

He's taller than his older brother!!

....and as if by magic.....

Sitting out the rest of the Aussie Championships after a bang to the head in the crash with Brady

I have heard seperately that Ben Cook took a big bang to his head in the crash with Brady and is sitting out fixtures in the next few weeks to be on the safe side!

Wrong Adam!! Wrong club spelling - it's Opole in Poland!

I thought so. Not a lot else to say on the subject.

Yeah OK then!!
