If you keep Jason and Emil, you certainly won't be. Not much scope for improvement with more than 1/2 your team building average gone from 2 riders and if you keep Danny as well 2/3s gone. Unless Chris pulls out a miracle and finds a young continent rider who can add 2 or 3 to an assessed 5.0, but I thought he didn't know any...?

Tarasenko is better than Laguta. Well certainly around the UK tracks he is.

Lawson surprises me. We wanted to keep him for 23 but from his own words KL is too far out in the sticks for him and that's why he signed with Leicester.

Do we think Pawlicki would be strong enough to be our No.1? Would love to see Huckenbeck back at the Stars. Showed glimpses of real potential when he last ride for us and he's gone from strength to strength. Unlikely to happen now he's in the GPs unfortunately.

Be even worse if the Stars won it (fantasy I know)

Solid team. Can't see Harris riding for us though. Got Birmingham all over him if they move up.

He did say if no Smederna then he'll be back in the UK. I've also seen quotes from KL which support this as well.

Looks like Lambert has left Smederna, does that mean he's doing UK or signing for another Swedish team? I saw something in the news that discussions were held that if Lambert left Smederna he would do a full season in the UK and not sign for another Swedish club...

Replacing Lidsey? No way can BV work him, Bewley and Kurtz into a team again

A famous 63-27 at the Norfolk Arena sticks out in my mind from the 22 season

Is it not a problem that ticket prices are likely to increase to justify clubs bringing in these "quality" riders as they can't sustain paying for them otherwise?

And therein lyes the problem. All the big stars who don't get permanent GP places just want to waltz into the UK. Take Emil (credit where it's due, he has been loyal to UK speedway this year), Artem etc. If they were in the GP there would be no chance we'd have seen them over here this year

Does anyone actually know if Emil and Artem want to do the GP series? No one seems to have any factual evidence that they actually want to be included. At the end of the day, we're all speedway fans, just be grateful there is still a world recognised championship to watch.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Janowski back in the UK for 2024 as he's not a permanent GP rider

Hasn't looked on it since his injury layoff, which in understandable. If he could be fitted in at reserve next season on his current average might be worth a shot

Well, he was...

Well it does appear Sheffield have took the risk and received the reward. Think potentially Torun may have been more accepting for him to go to Sheffield as their play off meetings started after the Polish season ends, rather than Ipswich.

Yes BB. 3 home and 3 away to get an official average.

Well it does appear Lambert is becoming Mr. Playoffs

It would appear Sheffield have got R Lambert...

I think he is guest for Tobi. Lawson is guest for Woffinden and Kemp for Vissing. That's how I've read the Sheffield post, although it isn't the most clear.

See Sheffield have got R Lambert in for Monday.... not taking anything away from Bomber as he was awesome last night. However, it does beg the question whether Ipswich went for him or not? Also, thought Lambert wasn't allowed to guest as he is/was on an "Assessed Average"?

The sport probably wouldn't still be around if it wasn't for Chapman. Saved Lynn, saved Peterborough (although some question this) and helped support Ipswich....

113? That must make you the oldest living human in history
