That surprises me about Garrity - he usually gets his hands on some decent stuff!!

Exactly - thats why I posted!! No point in having great social media comms and wonderfully designed announcements if the basic info is wrong!!

Their Championship averages have no relevence to their Prem averages as they both rode in both leagues in 2022

According to Glasgow's website update today '2023 riders signed so far....', Ben Basso's average is 9.08???

Nice to see agreement on the 3 heat leaders at last!!

...but he's not a 'new' foreigner!

That is certainly how I had it - as long as the conversion is still 1.5?!

I would be interested to know how that one is calculated too?!

How do you get that? Not disputing it, just interested to know?!

Unlikely - but only a rumour!! ps. when he launched his 2023 Sponsorship brochure on Insta and FB, he said he didn't have a club at any level!!

Really?!! Think you need to check your facts/opinions!

Is Shanesy still living in Dorchester? If so , he's going to be away a fair bit from his young family just to get to home meetings!!

Not sure he took part? See the post on Poole 2023.

....and his average still means he'll be one of the Championship top Number 1's

I think Matt/Danny's preferred 1-7 would have Zach (4.92) at reserve - although they also said that may be unrealistic. As for Rew, he is going to be based in Leszno Poland and therefore flying in for any UK meetings. Ippo with Doyley makes sense being close to Stanstead as would any track close to a decent airport and flights - but he will still need machinery, transport, mechanic and workshop facility wherever else he goes.

He is the current Aussie U.21 Champion as of last weekend. He will be based in Poland and has previously ridden for 3 Polish Clubs - Rawitz, Leszno & Krosno - but is riding for Gdansk in the Polish 2nd tier next season

And if the team is built that way then Zachs average has to go higher than the weakest 2nd string which may not happen straight away.

The key is/was to keep both Cooks so one of the top 2 heat leaders had to go. The choice between the 3 team options are about whether Zach Cook(4.92) could start at reserve or as a 2nd string. Watch this space.

Plan C may we be no further Aussies at all?

I reckon only 12.97 left for 3 riders so if it is Rew (5) and Zischke(4) that leaves 3.97 for the other reserve.

The interesting question is whether it was Matt/Danny's Option A,B orC?

So I wonder if Poole's announcement has been timed to coincide with Birmingham's announcement at 1930 hrs?

Well it could be Danny King as Poole confirm his release.

So :Poole say goodbye to the skipper. Cheers Danny.
