I mentioned Musielak on the Leicester thread a week or so ago and I can see it happening 100% if the Lawson rumour is true and it'll leave just over 6 for a No.4 if you go with Sedgmen at No.6.

Rybnik will be hoping that Gorzow have a shocker today. Rybnik need top riders and they'll only get them if Gorzow don't run as nobody else is available.

Yh, I see what you mean.

Basically about to become another Tarnow by the sound of things.

I'm thinking the same thing, Something has to be brewing at Leicester because if it's true about Masters, Douglas and Lawson then Leicester must be after a massive hitter to support Fricke. Vaculik did ride in the UK before, Even though it was only for half a lap around Swindon (I think) before he got injured.

Using realistic riders only and taking Birmingham's tight budget into account. 1. Lindgren / 1. Lindgren 2. S. Worrall / 2. Z. Cook 3. Brennan / 3. Douglas 4. Wright / 4. S. Worrall 5. Douglas / 5. Tungate 6. Z. Cook / 6. Lampart 7. Edwards (RS) / 7. Edwards (RS)

I did have Douglas down for KL originally.

Where I'm currently at, I don't think I'm that far off tbh. BV - 1. Kurtz, 2. Blodorn, 3. Lidsey, 4. (5.75 Ellis?), 5. Bewley, 6. Zischke & 7. Mulford BIR - 1. ?, 2. Z. Cook, 3. Douglas, 4. S. Worrall, 5. ?, 6. Lampart & 7. Edwards IPS - 1. Doyle, 2. Rew, 3. Brennan, 4. King, 5. Sayfutdinov, 6. D. Thompson & 7. Jenkins KL - 1. B. Cook, 2. Kvech, 3. Iversen, 4. Klindt, 5. (6.95), 6. Harris & 7. Boughen LEI - 1. Fricke, 2. Howarth, 3. Lawson, 4. Becker, 5. Masters, 6. (5.01 Sedgmen/Kerr) & 7. Hagon OX - 1. Musielak, 2. Riss, 3. Janowski, 4. Wright, 5. Tungate, 6. (5.19 Sedgmen/C. Cook) & 7. Killeen SHE - 1. J. Holder, 2. Rowe, 3. Woffinden, 4. Pickering, 5. C. Holder, 6. Gilkes & 7. Flint

Or BV with his mate Bewley. They'll have 5.75 left for a No.4 if it's Kurtz, Bewley, Lidsey, Blodorn, Zischke & Mulford.

Defo Ben Cook imo, I think you'll have Bomber as well now because their has to be bigger reason as to why Boughen has been selected as the RS when KL were in a favourable pick position.

Magic is staying at Oxford, See my first post on the Spires 2025 thread where I quoted what Magic said in his interview with RedBull.com

40.00 Limit. 1. Lawson 2. Thomsen 3. Z. Cook 4. Rowe 5. Kerr 6. Foord 7. Cairns (When Available) = 39.57

If it's a 40.00 limit then you won't get many teams better than this in the Championship if any. Two massive hitters with bags of experience plus 4 PREM reserves who've all got improvement left in them, No journeyman. 1. Masters 2. Boughen 3. Jenkins 4. Gilkes 5. Nicholls 6. Killeen 7. Scott = 39.85

Miskowiak leaves Gorzow, Likely destination is Grudziadz. All is not well in Gorzow.

1. Fricke 2. Howarth 3. Lawson 4. Becker 5. Masters or Douglas 6. Sedgmen 7. Hagon (RS) Just about fits if it's a 40.00 limit

Only a question mark over Brennan imo the rest are a formality considering we already know about Doyle and Emil has basically confirmed himself. If a deal hasn't been done then would Kvech be an option? Because King cant ride as a HL at this level anymore.

Such a strong reserve pairing when looking at the Championship averages of riders who were part of this season's RS scheme as well as young Brits who are likely to ride in next season's Premiership at No.6 1. D. THOMPSON 7.55 2. Flint 6.85 3. JENKINS 6.37 4. Edwards 6.34 5. Gilkes 5.21 6. Boughen 5.16 7. Hagon 4.85 8. Mulford 4.38 9. Killeen 3.95

Would Leicester chuck Vinnie Foord at No.6 or is it too soon? Because if you want a big hitter to backup Fricke at No.5 then sacrifices need to be made elsewhere.

If the Team GB boss cant get a tune out of Flint then nobody will. Like a fellow forum member has said, Make or break season coming up for Leon.

No Superstars but it's got a Peterborough 2021 feel about it, If you can get it then it's a sneakily good side imo. 1. B. Cook 2. Kvech 3. Iversen 4. Klindt 5. Basso (I know his Mum said no UK, But he done a U-Turn at Peterborough for the £££) 6. Harris 7. Boughen (RS)

Not trashing the team here as I think it's a decent 1-7 but not a great one despite the power trio still being involved. Does anyone else think rider influence has played a part here? as well as Steady playing favourites because I don't think Sheffield would take such a risk by having half a teams worth of 2024 rising stars in the side. Something like the Holder's not wanting to be split up to a point where it's both of them or none at all as well as Steady not wanting to cut ties with Team GB's Woffinden.

Do RS's all get paid the same points money? If not then that could be an explanation for some of these picks. Boughen who's confidence is shot to pieces ends up at a track that you need a lot of confidence on is the most baffling one to me.

Good point, Has to be some other reason other than local lad as to why KL have picked Boughen over Jenkins.

Some of those picks are baffling to me. Ipswich and Sheffield getting Jenkins & Flint when not in a favourable pick position is baffling, Both clubs will be delighted with their Rising Star selections.

What a massive boost of good fortune for the Witches, A well deserved boost as well after all of the bad luck they had this year. Some clubs have made baffling decisions, Sheffield & Ipswich must be laughing at managing to get Flint & Jenkins when not being in a favourable pick position.
