Polish and BSN articles just released and it's fair to say that Robert Lambert doesn't want anything to do with British League racing so we can draw a line under that one imo.
I agree but as always with my 1-7's I factor in who's likely to be available because Clubs normally retain as many of their riders as possible from the previous campaign.
I don't think this will be too far off tbh.
39.00 Team Building Limit
1. M. Fricke 8.27 or R. Lambert 8.00
2. N. Klindt 5.76
3. R. Lawson 6.63
4. C. Harris 6.38
5. J. Kvech 6.76
6. C. Rushen 4.74
7. J. Scott (U21 Rising Star)
= 38.54 or 38.27
38.00 Team Building Limit
1. Z. Cook 7.35
2. N. Klindt 5.76
3. R. Lawson 6.63
4. C. Harris 6.38
5. J. Kvech 6.76
6. C. Rushen 4.74
7. J. Scott (U21 Rising Star)
= 37.62
Buster only has a few numbers in the book and Lawson can't afford to be picky as half of the Clubs wouldn't touch him with a barge pole for various reasons whether it's attitude related or performance related around certain tracks.
I think BV should go for Klindt, He's a good rider when he's at the right club.
Nicolai tends to struggle when he finds himself at new tracks that he's never ridden before like Oxford and Northampton.
The priority for me is Cairns or Rushen now.
Reserves were a big issue this year and it could be deja vu if we don't pick up one of the promoising young Brits.
I know, But he's far more reliable than a flaky foreign rider who's never ridden a British track as well as a CHAMP Rider on a CHAMP GSA around the 3.5 mark.
We got burnt this year with Hellstrom-Bangs and Juhl Pedersen.
With this ruling imo it makes Cairns just as important as Heat Leaders.
I can see a better team than last season but not a 1-7 that's a threat to Belle Vue, Ipswich and Sheffield tbh.
I wouldn't be surprised if Z. Cook or Lawson were to be part of the Foxes 1-7 either tbh.
