Is the biggest surprise 3 guests and no Harris, Brennan or howarth?

So, so far we have Max fricke Vs tai woffinden. Are we getting drip fed the lineups or slow to get rider to come? Notice quite a few ex tigers qualified for the gp challenge too. Thomsen, bellego, bewley and rasser all be there. Hopefully good news for rasser in particular

Yeah Plymouth were just short of a point at Glasgow and Leicester. Birmingham select to outscore both those sides would be a surprise to me. Pickering obviously strengthens Birmingham but Plymouth win for me

Ffs you'd think Berwick signed woffinden and bewley way that lad going on. Tin foil hat must've come lose

Got injured first meeting of season at Plymouth

Danyon Hume taken his place at Ipswich

Must be Ulrich's best couple nights this season, good night for Peterborough tonight too. Hopefully got some power back in his machines

His scores in Denmark not yet up with Basso's but definitely good prospect. Getting in at reserve a huge bonus. Just a constant production line over there, surely we could learn something? Maybe 5 rider teams way forward too?

What's happened to the lad at Redcar Jonas B Anderson? Or lad rode for us back end of 2019 Mikkel B Andersen think was his name. Doubt either good enough for Poland, and nights not score you barrow loads of points but might score 6/7 and 5/6 a meeting

If could've motivated spud into a final year with his head in the game over proctor would've been some side

Unfortunately haven't made it down this season but hope it has, good club, fans and promotion imo due a bit of luck and success

He has a son in Glasgow

Good for spud, hope gets back to his best. Assume the Berwick connection got that one done

Knew I'd get a nibble with that one

I think Blair's issue is he can't gate, which gets away with in NL but won't in the champ. Stoneman from little I've seen seemed to be in the mix out 2nd bend so might score few points. Especially at no pass shielfield

Similarly if go back further with nick Morris and Rob Branford in their Buxton days. Rob looked in some ways better prospect but never got above champ reserve, while nick gone on to far better things. Funny old world speedway

Excited to see Knudsen ride in Britain, see he rides for same team as basso in Denmark. Minor side note is there a brother, jesper or is that just coincidence with the surname like Nicki and bjarne? Only ask as if one could be persuaded into Britain so might the other?

Aye, fair point lol

No absolutely not. It's up to the TM to source the best possible rider available. But what hear from some of these teams are these riders will be the lions, monarchs etc of the future. Yet when an opportunity to blood one of the junior side into the main team arises, very rarely seems an opportunity is given. I mean did Leicester really need Edwards at Newcastle yesterday? Prime example where an opportunity could've been given to a younger rider.

Yup sorry my bad, confused the 2 situations

I expect it's more to do with advice as we went through it signing nowak last season. But if another basso style opportunity arises then why should we say no

Correct me if I'm wrong but to my knowledge only Oxford used their own CL rider to replace a 6/7 who was injured so far this season even as a guest for those clubs with NDL sides. Edinburgh never used an armadale rider to replace sarj. Berwick have signed stoneman over one of their sides. Plymouth signed mcgurck over one of their riders to replace Atkins and used guests who didn't ride for the junior side before signed him. Leicester using Edwards predominantly to replace Rowe rather than promote a cub. Begs the question what's the point?

So much for no riders being available!! On paper looks a cracking signing Knudsen, interested to see how he gets on.

100% agree. I'd think we just be about 10-20 points down if tallied results between heats 11 and 15 prior to today. No need for the total regrading that goes on imo

Is Palin going to need to leave EWR if he is to improve? Should be doing better than that imo. In danger of becoming a one track pony
