wtf

I think you might have one out of seven right there. I think more than one, at least 3

Indeed, who knows, I don't think he'll be at Belle Vue anyway, I reckon he's nailed on for Peterborough

You mean a bit like 2017 when he was a 6.5 point rider finishing second in the averages around somerset riding as a heat leader all year? just saying!

More importantly achieved that average riding in the 3rd heatleader position all year, none of that was achieved with a spell at reserve unlike many

You really think Batchelor will be off to a club owned by Buster? might want to re think that one.

I expect him to be at Wolves

If you are looking for riders who can put a point on their average, are uk based, your own assets, ride your own track pretty well, and can ride all the away tracks well. I wouldn't be surprised if Charles Wright ended up at Poole. On a 5.1 or thereabouts I'd say he would be pretty good value.

The thing is it didn't really work in the old elite league when you had two reserve races. Again it was put there as the difference in standards was too great, but by later in the meeting on too many occasions one of the reserves had been withdrawn through injury and you ended up with 3 rider races. Those pleading for value for money are going to love that!

Certainly going to be entertaining watching him trying to get round Leicester

Now Peterborough have come up into the premiership, there's going to be a hell of a bidding war for Simon Lambert. Maybe Buster will find a way of allowing him to ride for both clubs?

Whilst the promotion maintain they offered Charles the "agreed going rate" and he has decided to go elsewhere. At no point have they stated that they also offered the "agreed going rate" to Harris. We all know the answer to that one. Garry probably has done everything he could to sign Charles, but Garry doesn't sign the cheques.

GSA for Todd end of year final figures: 2011 4.97 2012 4.38 2013 4.92 2014 5.96 2015 6.97 2016 5.76 2017 5.23 2018 so far 5.82 You are more than welcome to have a different opinion of Todd's potential, but please don't tell me I have not been factual, when I have simply used the BSPA GSA from their website and maths. Personally I don't see the potential, you do, but it's all about opinions.

Still got Josh Bates to fit in as well

Todd is a slow burner? really? His average in the 2nd division was 4.97 in 2011, now 7 years later is less than a point higher, on that basis it will take another 15 years plus to become an 8 point rider. I like Todd, but do you really think someone who has been around in this division for 7 years and always been a 5-6 point rider will suddenly be an 8 point rider and by definition a potential number 1. I have my doubts

Just watched the video on the rebels website, think Richard needs to grow up. He's had form for a long time about not being able to take what he is happy to give. Hans did nothing wrong, rode a defensive line in my opinion

Doubt there will be much of an outside line tonight with Charles being back in town

Like as if this has got anything to do with improving the team by swapping Bjerre for Anderson. Mountain for Lawlor yes and improvement, but does anyone really think this is about anything other than getting rid of Bjerre. Knowing everyone involved pretty well I would imagine Lasse has spoken out of turn once too often

Glyn Taylor The track is very different this year to previous. The reason the meeting was close yesterday is the home team are struggling with a set ups as much as the away team.

The problem isn't so much those who are cheating, of which there are some, but fewer than most people think, the problem is with the law makers. Correct me if I'm wrong, but we used to have a perfectly good rule only 6 years or so that said "No titanium or other super alloys allowed" despite everyone with a brain cell saying allowing it would be a bad idea, (including an article from a well known engine tuner) what did they do? Over turned the rule, the costs go up, the servicing intervals go down, the engines rev higher, become more difficult to ride. etc etc. Rev limiters. Been on the table for years, been a solution for years. I've been involved in the discussion about them for years. will not happen because the only way to enforce it is for every promotion to have 14 of them, and issue them like transponders in road racing before a meeting and get them back after wards. But that involves investment, so don't hold your breath.

That's true, but at least they might both now be able to swing a small cat in those huge spacious pits
