Scored 10 at Belle Vue for Ukraine in the SoN. Other forum members say he would come in at champ level on a 6 and he was interviewed in speedway star a few weeks ago saying he was looking for a championship club

Stanislav Melynchuk now based in london, be some travelling mind!

Its a shame MPT and Melynchuk doesnt fit by just 0.4 based on those averages above. MPT 7.8 and Melynchuk 6.00 Least the promotion would be taking a chance on a potential exciting new recruit in Melynchuk. However MPT and Newman both fit and would be a steady bet for home meet8ngs at least!

Equipment nowhere near good enough, see Adam Roynon

Michael P Toft 7.80 Stanislav Melynchuk 6.00 Ben Barker 5.87 Joe Thompson 5.63 Alfie Bowtell 5.07 Kyle Newman 4.96 Lasse Fredriksen 4.67 Total - 40 The above being based on Melynchuk being based in London and on the look for a team spot in championship and the reported lack of available remaining heat leaders. I saw him at the SoN at Belle Vue and he was quick if a little wreckless. Would need some dialling in on a tight track like plymouth. Newman a steady set of hands and averaged 6+ at home this year. Just an idea

Yup. Probably unlikely to get out of the reserve spot as well unless etheridge or bowes dont do well and foord doesnt keep progressing which would make him one of the stronger reserves on paper

Does Jack Smith fit at 7? Doesnt sound like hes going to be involved at glasgow and if starke ends up at poole then possibly a shout. Did well enough to get out of the reserve berth at glasgow

Surely Baek is in the conversation after dropping newman to bring him and start building some assets? What a truly awful decision that was. Wouldnt be surprised if Newman will have packed up for good!

Any news on jack smiths likely whereabouts for 2025

Well he needs a base to be fair. Hardly going to jet over each home match! If not riding on the continent this becomes a problem!

Unfortunately im back down to manchester early or id have stuck around. Really great to see jack smith doing well round ashfield!

Hi guys, belle vue fan here who is in glasgow with work. Decided the check out ashfield. What a great set up! Entrance gates open so ducked my head and there was a rider doing laps, im supposing it was Ivacic? Obviously no other riders on track but he looked rapid!

Will tate be covered by guests on his current cma or his assessed average

Id stick starke at 7

Ive heard but only just retired so couod be lured back out if it if he still has his bikes potentially

Not suggesting either sam or celina should be replaced here but who'd actually be available to replace sub 4.00 average at championship level who missed out on a spot who isnt a 2.00 rider? Ben Morley? 4.56 Stefan Nielsen? 3.85 Adam Roynon? 3.50 Max Clegg ? 3.95 Jack Smith? 2.90 Dont know if the above averages would be subject to british reduction. Seems a very small pool of riders available at champ level sub 5.00 if teams are looking to make changes IMO. I think a lot of teams are just going to stick with What they have at the bottom end of their teams barring Smith likely securing a spot at Glasgow after last night. If I was in workingtons shoes id be using celina at 7 so shes out against a reserve in all her rides as she seems the more likely to score well out of her and sam so give her the best opportunity to do so

Yes granted, good ti hear she was on the pace too. Hopefully she gets dialled in at home and improves away. Thanks for the update. Out kf interest how did batch look when in second, was he going gung-ho for first or had he surrendered 1st in course of the race? Hes an enogma for sure. Why pit yourself in a situation as potentially dangerous as speedway and not go all out when your pay is determined on your points return (unless he has a cushy retainer)

Just to clarify im not suggesting or hoping she be sacked. I really hope she does well. Its more a question of knowing which british riders who missed out on team spots at championship are actually waiting in the wings and wanting a spot should an opportunity arise and not called retirement subsequently. Are there any other riders who arent 2 pointers who are without clubs outside Clegg, Morley, Neilsen or Roynon who are available. Is James Wright available post injury? Just referring back to your point about sacking the only female rider would be a PR disaster. If after 10 meetings shes not hitting at least an average of 3 then WHY shouldnt she be replaced? Her coming in at reserve on an assessed 4.00 average is very high considering a lot of her reserve counterparts are 2.00 For me personally id love to see those championship reserve berths reserved for british riders only preferably under the age of 24 and grow our opportunities for rider progression from the NDL Appreciate theres not a plethora of riders possibly at championship level in the NDL without clubs but theres a lot more 2.00 riders being used this year which could open a door for say a Danny Phillips type rider who was on the phone to Redcar for a team spot over the winter. Proof will be in the pudding whether Celina can live up to an inflamed 4.00 assesed average whilst a rider like Clegg or Nielsen is missing out - granted theyve had plenty opportunity elsewhere but id have though their averages now make them attractive as championship reserves. I certainly would like to see british riders only declared at 6 and 7 in the teambuildijg of championship clubs.

My thoughts too. If celina doesnt work out in the long run then whom out of stefan Nielsen, ben morley, max clegg or adam roynon can come in. Belive they would have 4.08 to play with

Apologies youre right. Only amplifies the fact any team that wins the league is well out scoring their starting averages

Hes not wrong though is he. All teams have to out ride their averages to win a title with team limits at 40 and you need 46 points to win a title! If frederiksen, paco and thomson all put a point on there average and pickering has brilliant season along with coles pitting 1.5 on his average against weakend reserves it wouldnt be that far fetched!

Poole Scunthorpe Glasgow Redcar Berwick Oxford Edinburgh Workington Plymouth

If the stream is bouth can it be watched back any time? Im unlikely to be able to watch live

Thats crazy. I did read an article that he has his own heating and plumbing business so that takes preference i guess

Doesnt the french league kick off early so theres going to be guys with equipment ready to go Aarnio - believe contacted Hynek Stichauer Max Dilger Mathieu Tressarieu Lukas Fienhage Any of these are better than a national league reserve on a short term contract perhaps Further left field perhaps jesse mustonsen. Might be keen to follow his mate over from finland at workington? Scored points in world cup too
