TTT

I got lucky on both of those big time.

Belle Vue's attempt to buy a trophy may backfire drastically, Must be paying out ridiculous money this year. Abysmal showings around Sheffield, Would fancy Ipswich to batter them around Foxhall too.

Matej Zagar Over 8 @ 10/11 surely? 5 rides minimum, 6 rides if he gets Ht 15. Also going with Brady Kurtz Over 11 @ 10/11 as well for the same reasoning as Zagar.

Nilsson should give up his 2023 GP place.

Both of us will be in the bottom 2 unless the AGM forces other clubs to rip up 1-7's.

Wolves won't go weak at reserve again considering the close shaves they've had at Home this year. Think you'll be looking for 2 new second strings and a No.6 because the following 4 should be nailed on. 1. Sam Masters 2. 3. Luke Becker 4. 5. Nick Morris 6. 7. Leon Flint (RS)

Think your HL's will be Josh Pickering, Michael Palm Toft and one of Niels K Iversen or Nicolai Klindt. Buster will balance his teams out so any departing Panther will be exchanged for a like for like replacement from KL. I'm expecting KL & Peterborough 1-7's to be made up from this pool of riders. HL Pool (3 each) - Josh Pickering, Nicolai Klindt, Niels K Iversen, Chris Harris, Michael Palm Toft & Richard Lawson (Ryan Doulgas to Panthers if Wolves release him) Second Strings (2 each) - Thomas Jorgensen, Richie Worrall, Lewis Kerr, Ben Basso & Craig Cook Reserve (1 each) - Ulrich Ostergaard, Hans Andersen & Scott Nicholls Rising Star (1 each) - Jason Edwards, Jack Thomas, Jordan Jenkins & Jordan Palin

Based on who I think will line-up for us in 2023. This isn't what I want though. Yes this team isn't good on paper but I'm building a realistic 1-7 rather than building an unrealistic 1-7 containing superstars. 1. Chris Harris (Don't see anyone else signing him on a average he'll stand a 0% chance of maintaining) 2. Thomas Jorgensen (Buster loyalty will see TJ get shipped over to us, unfortunately for us I think he'll be Basso's replacement in a straight swap if the rumour is true) 3. Ryan Douglas (Don't think he'll be at Wolves, Panthers most likely destination if he's not at Wolves imo) 4. Richard Lawson (I can see Buster doing a second swap between his clubs with MPT going to KL and Lawson being shipped to Peterborough) 5. Nicolai Klindt or Niels K Iversen 6. Hans Andersen (Rider loyalty will see him get a job on his low average imo) 7. Jordan Jenkins (RS) (Has improved drastically and he'll be back if the RS scheme continues)

Average below 5 though, Not going to get anyone better on a low average like his. Other riders on similar averages that aren't riding for us this year are Etheridge, Summers, Barker, Allen & Kerr.

Got to bring back the Russian's next year. Zmarzlik doesn't have a single challenger. Madsen leads the chasing back but he can only ride throttle jockey places so he'll never be a World Champion.

Hans Andersen will be a Panther next year imo. No way would the club allow him to leave on his extremely low average. He's nailed on to ride @ No.6 for us in 2023 imo.

I'd happily take Lawson for MPT. Lawson rides our place very well. I wouldn't be bothered about losing Harris because he's got a 0% of maintaining his average next season imo. Basso would be a blow but he can easily be replaced if we can snap up a track specialist like Ryan Douglas.

Good run of tipping form as of late. Tonight's tip is MATEJ ZAGAR Over 8 @ 11/10 (Matej is riding at reserve tonight for Rospiggarna and I would be shocked if the Team Manager doesn't use Matej to full effect by giving him extra rides)

Would be a fitting way to end his career.

ZG will claw back the 10 points at Home imo. Heat 14 was the turning point in this tie.

Terrible result for Krosno in Ht 14 that's silenced the crowd. That was a real body blow.

On paper you'd expect 5-1's to be exchanged in the final two heats

Huge pressure on Fricke & Tungate to get two 5-1's in Hts 13 & 15 now.

Big ride from Tungate.

If one of Fricke or Tungate falls away then Krosno wrap this up tonight. Tonight's meeting is identical to last night's Ekstraliga first leg where the away side were relying on a couple of riders to keep them in the contest.

Signing Pepe could prove to be a very costly mistake. Reminds me of Rune Holta these days. Has to have a perfect track prepared to his liking to get any points return out of him.

Fricke & Tungate still doing the business to keep ZG in with a fighting chance.

Fricke as a tac sub for Buzz in Heat 8? I'd make that move if I was the team manager considering a Krosno junior will be in the race.

Already confirmed.

Champions crowned tonight at this rate.
