Expect Riss to double up for Oxford after the Scott Nicholls news.

Yes but rumour is since then he's had an offer from work that's too good to turn down.

If Schlein is retiring and a Number 1 isn't available then I'd be aiming for this instead of going for Gilkes. I know S. Worrall gets a lot of negativity but he's been thrown in at the deep end when riding for certain clubs, He's a No.2/No.6 and this line-up would see him riding in that team position throughout the season. 1. Tungate 2. S. Worrall 3. Janowski 4. Wright 5. 7.71 left (7.50 Assessed Rider) 6. Riss 7. Killeen (RS)

I agree. Perhaps Peter wants Gilkes for a bit of continuity considering he's likely to replace Boughen in the Cheetahs side.

Rumour brewing that Schlein might be retiring which could fall in line with the Dan Gilkes situation. Rumour was Schlein to Oxford so maybe the management were informed just in time to make a late offer to Dan Gilkes which is why he wasn't announced at Sheffield?

Did Rachel Reeves come up with the ticket pricing structure at Sheffield for 2025?

Good work on the ticket pricing and offers. Take note Sheffield.

I honestly cant see it, Musielak and Rew yes but I expect others to drop. Like we saw with Janowski it can take a rider a long time to settle back in over here with our tracks being completely different. Nilsson hasn't rode over here for 6/7 Years, Thorssell for at least 5 years, Zagar's in his 40's now and has no improvement left in him.

Half of them aren't the same riders they use to be.

This would be way under the points limit so something's not right. How certain is a Riss return? 1. ? 2. Riss 3. Janowski 4. Wright 5. Tungate 6. Gilkes 7. Killeen (RS)

Wouldn't make any sense because Dan would still have meetings to put himself in the shop window for other clubs whilst making a few quid.

3 Something left. Vinnie Foord?

Speaks volumes that they don't really want Gilkes but might have to go with him unless somebody else becomes available. I wonder if they'll take a punt on Vinnie Foord?

Dan Gilkes not announced.

JT confirmed.

Not too shabby like you said but still wooden spoon contenders imo based on the 1-7 not featurning enough riders who have got improvement left in them.

You didn't get anything wrong, It's the SpeedwayStar who've made a natural mistake.

He's riding for Tarnow in 2025, SpeedwayStar have made a mistake so expect Matej at Birmingham in 2025.

I wouldn't worry about the wooden spoon, No chance Leicester finish last. Just going by the PR's you can tell this 1-7 won't last long before Stewart makes a couple of changes because his thought process behind a couple of these signings makes no sense with the expectations he's got in mind for them. They're very unrealistic. Talking about Cookie putting 1.5 on his average is top of the tree.

Assuming the top 5 were locks then surely the first option would've been Antti Vuolas? Sedgmen/Kerr wouldn't fit and Zischke (BV) Only other options that would have fit within the limit are the follwing. Palm Toft (Injury Prone) Mountain (Would've been signed because he's not rumoured for any Prem side) Milik (Not committed) Kemp (Been down that road already)

Strength in depth 1-5 featuring 5 riders who know the Armadale circuit well? 1. Sedgmen 2. Vissing 3. Thomson 4. Heeps 5. Castagna 6. Coles 7. 2.00

Stewart's not afraid to make changes and if Becker struggles early on and drops his average then I can see Stewart stamping his authority quite quickly with a team change or two. I'm not writing Leicester off entirely but as it stands it's not a play-off side.

Lightcap would be on a 4.00 wouldn't he? Batchelor 8.46 Zischke 6.96 Vuolas 6.40 Bowes 5.00 Etheridge 4.98 Lightcap 4.00 Foord 3.90 = 39.70

1. Batchelor 2. Bowes 3. Vuolas 4. Etheridge 5. Zischke 6. Lightcap 7. Foord

Defo Cook imo because Sedgmen or Kerr wouldn't fit if it's Douglas & Masters.
