1. Musielak - 8.21 / Bewley - 8.52 2. Wright - 6.32 / (although I can’t see PS getting rid of Riss - 5.61) 3. Masters - 7.32 4. Janowski - 7.02 5. Tungate - 7.71 6. J Thompson - 3 RS - Killeen Total: 39.58 / 39.89 (39.18 with Riss)

They could take J Thompson if they wanted to take that route…

Can’t see them getting rid of Riss as he’s good pals with Schroek. Only other place I could see Riss being is Lynn, but it doesn’t make sense if they’re going “strength in depth”. You do make a good point with Masters though, that is a very strong rumour. which may mean Tungate goes again at 1, although I do feel if Oxford want to make the Top 4 they need someone over the top of him. 1. Tungate - 7.71 2. ???? - 6.02 3. Masters - 7.32 4. Wright - 6.32 5. Janowski - 7.02 6. Riss - 5.61 RS - Killeen

He still had to dial in to the Lynn track? There’s no reason why he couldn’t do that around Oxford with some practice…

Isn’t Artem tempted back?

Think he is the best option available, as I can see Musielak being at 1 so that leaves 5.13 for the No. 6 (Kerr - 4.77; C Cook - 4.56; Howarth - 5.06). Unless they can bring in a 5 point rider in from the continent…

Look at Anders Rowe’s progression 2023: 5.95 2024: 7.76 (4 meetings) If I was in the Championship I know which one I’d rather have…

But if you can’t attract/pay for a big hitter never mind 2, what other approach is there?

Sure Pawlicki and Milik did too. I’d personally take Zagar over either of them 2

Zagar?

I agree. Kvech can be a 7.5-8.0 rider, especially now he’s seen all the away tracks at least once

Neither of them look like a tight budget team to me, especially the one on the right… World No.3 and Tungate who will dictate No.1 earnings as he rode that all of last year for Oxford

Apparently Masters (Oxford) and Douglas (Lynn or Birmingham) are both leaving Leicester, as well the yearly rumour that Lawson is going back to Lynn. Could be a very different 1-7 next year for the Lions: 1. Fricke - 9.14 2. Sedgmen - 4.79 3. Tarasenko - 6.77 ??? 4. Becker - 6.57 5. Musielak - 8.21 ??? 6. Kemp - 3.95 RS. Hagon Total - 39.43

Would love to see Douglas at Lynn, but not at No.1 on his average of 7.30 as can only see that dropping.

It’s a solid team, which I guess is the strategy for ‘25. Should in theory win every home meeting comfortably (50-40 minimum), just on the road feel it might get exposed and not see us pick up many aggregate points. If at all possible, I would like to see us incorporate both Janowski and B Cook. 1. Janowski - 7.02 2. Iversen - 6.83 3. Kvech - 6.58 4. Lawson - 6.91 5. B Cook - 6.99 6. Z Cook - 5.57 7. Boughen - RS Total - 39.9

Too long of a tail even if the points limit is 40. Won’t win anything with a reserve at 2 and two rising stars at reserve

Good job he’s rejoining Lynn who are in the fortunate position that they can change their race night to a Monday

I agree we should be a Premiership club, as Lynn is an institution of British speedway, but we do need to start acting like one. Let’s say we assemble the “strength in depth” team that has been rumoured 1. Lawson; 2. Iversen; 3. Klindt; 4. Kvech; 5. Cook; 6. Harris. Minus Jan I look at that team and think it’s a Championship team anyway. I know for whatever reason it didn’t work out this year, but at least people were excited about our team before the tapes went up for the first time. We had a proven Premiership No. 1, a No. 5 who had significant room for improvement and the best reserve pairing in the league. The only thing on paper that let our starting 2024 side down was our middle order. We need to go down the same team building route to stand any chance this year and that does require a genuine No 1 being in the team. 1. Fricke/Tungate (if they become available depending on what Leicester and Oxford do) - 9.14 / 7.71 2. Iversen - 6.83 3. Klindt - 6.59 4. Kvech - 6.58 5. B Cook - 6.99 6. Boughen - 3.00 / Kerr - 4.77 Total - 39.13 / 39.47

Pretty sure he enjoyed being at King’s Lynn more than at Zielona Gora. I know he’s at Torun next year, so might be different. would be lovely if he could bring one of his teammates in Dudek or Lambert back with him

I would go out on a limb and say that team is actually cheaper than the 1-7 that started last season

Get rid of Basso and Klindt and have Tungate and Lawson and then it’s a competitive team - especially at home. Should win every home meeting and nick a few bonuses 1. Tungate - 7.71 2. Iversen - 6.83 3. B Cook - 6.99 4. Kvech- 6.58 5. Lawson - 6.91 6. Rowe - 3.91 Total - 38.93

5.71

Frederik Jakobsen has show his liking to Foxhole previously…

Let’s see… Lemon has been tracking him for a long time and will need to replace either B Cook or Lidsey. Keynan fills the void nicely
