TTT

Agree. Didn't they bin him off as soon as he wasn't eligible for the Rising Star scheme? Can't imagine Tom going back after that.

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 hope so, Could be hinting at Doyley though.

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.

Yes. Basically Belle Vue will walk the League again if they re-sign Will Cairns.

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.

Rules out Robert Lambert then. Emil Sayfutdinov????

I think Phil Morris is hinting at Eastbourne in the PREM with Vinnie Foord as the U21/Rising Star as it makes all the sense in the world if my info is correct on someone being part of the consortium As for Cairns, Isn't the 2027 ruling for current PREM Rising Star's with GSA's at 3.00 or under only to be part of the 2027 British U21/Rising Star scheme? I'm not on board with this ruling at all and some teams aren't going to be competitive because of it.

Brennan's GSA would be above 8.00 so I don't think he's at Oxford unless the rules have changed. 5.91 x 1.4 = 8.27 (8.07 after 2.5% British Reduction) or 5.91 x 1.5 = 8.86 (8.64 after 2.5% British Reduction) Didn't last winter confirm that the CHAMP rules were set for 3 Years?

1. K. Thomson 8.23 2. J. Grahn 5.63 3. P. Castagna 5.88 4. V. Palovaara 5.64 5. J. Sedgmen 6.84 6. M. Cluff 3.64 7. J. Loftus 3.60 = 39.46

Fits after British Reductions. 1. R. Lawson 8.15 2. K. Newman 4.92 3. L. Harrison 5.70 4. C. Rushen 5.01 5. W. Cairns 6.44 6. S. Lightcap 4.83 7. E. Kennett 4.62 39.67

I agree but I also think Zach is in the same boat as Musielak now where he's maxed out his GSA tbh (7.35) I can see Zach spending a year at King's Lynn or Northampton if the points limit isn't 40.00 as I don't see how the Aces can fit both Cook's as well as Kurtz/Bewley in a 38 limit for example. After Bewley's reduction the 4 riders come to 31.75.

Agree. Probably have to adopt the Danish format with 6 Man Teams to get around it as well as limiting Heat Leaders to an x amount per team in order to share them around?

Rough guess. 1. T. Musielak 2. K. Thomson 3. N-K. Iversen 4. J. Lidsey 5. ? 6. M. McDiarmid (U21) 7. L. Harrison or A. Pijper (British U21)

I read the statement as one British and then one U21 of any Nationality.

PTA info says Lidsey is back at Northampton, You'd also assume that Kye Thomson is back. Does that make Adam Ellis available for a Witches return?

Only just checked the Northampton thread after I posted on here. Stunned Belle Vue haven't got Jaimon back on his GSA.

If it's a 40.00 Limit. 1. B. Kurtz 2. T. Zischke 3. B. Cook 4. J. Lidsey 5. D. Bewley 6. W. Cairns 7. A. Pijper (RS) = 39.88

Not surprised that a bidding war is happening over the youngsters. The only Club that can get away with an average No.7 is Belle Vue imo and that's due to the top end power that Belle Vue always have to a point where you know that you're going to get over 30 Points just from the Heat Leaders at Home every week.

I'm wondering whether he'll race in Britain at all after Dan Bewley's OTT reaction. I don't know why Dan would've been so bothered from a personal point of view when the Polish rule wouldn't effect him considering he wants to ride in Britain every year. Maybe he was speaking up for his SoN partner Robert Lambert?

Was but I think that was on the basis that we were getting Woryna. Doyle was the backup plan according to Aries, Mayfield would've known about Kacper's stance way in advance imo.
