A spearhead of Brennan, Lawson and Musielak is very good in a weakend League imo.
Musielak although coming off a bad season, Is still a much better rider than his GSA imo. Riding for Birmingham must have been a nightmare considering Perry Barr's dust bowl.
Lawson will score points almost everywhere and is a Track specialist around KL & LEI as well as Ipswich.
Brennan although not a No.1 (Yet) is only going to get better year on year.
As long as Ipswich were interested in Richard, It made no sense for him to line-up for Northampton imo.
Just like any British Rider, You'd want to maximise earnings.
Option A - Ride a track that you know you can score big points on.
Option B - Ride a track that you've never ridden before and may not like it.
I hope so Gavan.
Don't even need a No.1 if Thorssell is coming in on a 4.50 as Ipswich will have a No.6 who will put up Double Digits on a regular basis all season imo no matter who rides at reserve.
That's the best Team Mayfield can possibly put together when it comes to Foxhall specialists.
Currently (Inc Rumours) we've got
No.3's -> Z. Cook, Harris, N. Morris, Riss and C. Holder
No.4's -> Kildemand, B. Cook, D. Thompson, Wright and Rowe
Thorssell (4.50) is better than most of them imo.
7.07-7.23 Left for a No.5 depending on the No.6.
Should go all out for Lawson 6.81 if building to win at Home, In 3 of his 4 visits to Foxhall last season, Richard put up (9), (11+1) and (13)
1. T. Brennan 7.05
2. S. Nicholls 5.25
3. T. Musielak 6.63
4. D. King 6.50
5.
6. J. Thorssell 4.50 / J. Jenkins 4.49 / J. Jeppesen 4.34
7. J. Edwards (RS)
Good signing on a 5.25 imo, If Brennan is the No.1 then silverware is a very long stretch imo so the next best option is to build a Team to win at Home.
Out of the 4 Confirmed 1-7's, I think Sheffield win the League at a canter tbh.
I also think Leicester are being overlooked, Douglas and Thompson get better year on year, Morris is on a false GSA due to the white powder imo and Masters has been a No.1 in a much stronger PREM so I don't see a reason as to why he cant get back to those levels tbh.
What I would say if defense of Tungate is that he was a No.1 in 2024 and his 5.89 holds significant value in a weakend League.
Was he being paid by Oxford hence the problmes in 2025?
Doesn't have a massive hitter but it looks rock solid.
1. T. Brennan 7.05
2. R. Tungate 5.89
3. R. Lawson 6.81
4. D. King 6.50 or N. Klindt 6.46
5. T. Musielak 6.63
6. J. Thorssell 4.50
7. J. Edwards (RS)
= 36.98 / 36.94
