Should be the first name in their team, and they should be doing everything humanly possible to get him back on his steal of a 7.02 average. Will 100% kick on next season and be the 8.00 assessed rider he was brought in on

I definitely wouldn’t keep Wojdylo either, he never seemed that settled in the team either - especially after Vadim and Tobi walked. I would certainly try my hardest to keep the core of the team that has finished the season intact. Interesting and quite cryptic post by KL today on social media calling Jan, NKI and Anders the 3 “pillars of consistency”, I read that as a hint towards next season, don’t know about anyone else…?

But have you considered the option as to whether Birmingham want to retain Flint or not? I mean, yes, they would be silly not too considering D Thompson and Rowe have graduated from it now meaning Leon should in theory be the strongest in the league, but stranger things have happened in British Speedway

Our averages always get dragged down because we are so inconsistent away, which is why we’re never in the play off hunt as we get hammered by 20+ away and can never get an aggregate point. I’ll cut Jan and Patryk some slack because it was pretty much their first time visiting most of the away tracks, but Basso for example Home GSA - 7.50 away GSA - 5.09

NKI has been relegated assuming he stays with Gdansk. Theres also a lot of their riders you haven’t included: Brennan - if he leaves Gdansk Musielak Kurtz potentially Blodorn maybe Wojdylo Rew Zischke Masters maybe Howarth maybe Klindt - if he leaves Gdansk

Suppose it doesn’t get any clearer than that!

Has that been confirmed? Lot of uncertainty and rumours to the contrary

Think he has verbal commitment to continue with Brum in ‘25

Wishful thinking and a bit too optimistic I fear. I’ll go: 1. Basso R/R 2. Rowe* 3. Iversen 4. Harris (g) 5. Kvech 6. S Lambert (g) 7. Kerr *New averages come into force from today seeing Rowe move in to the 1-5

As Sheffield have now re-declared their lineup with R/R instead of Harris, could Ipswich now re-declare theirs with Harris instead of Lidsey or Brennan?

As Phil Morris has explicitly said, decisions are made on a “commercial basis” rather than for sporting reasons.

I’d also be surprised if he was. If Sheffield want to go top heavy again can see Musielak slipping his way back in

Kurtz - 9.18 Bewley - 8.74 (8.52) Cook - 6.99 Brennan - 6.76 (6.59) Total - 31.67 (31.28)

Even if the point limit remained the same, there’s no way you could fit that top 4 in. I also can’t see Brennan going back to BV as a second string - he wants to push on

To what 38, 39 for top 6? Will the RS system remain?

If I was to guess I’d go NKI, Klindt, Basso, Rowe

Very surprised the KL promotion didn’t do a package offer for yesterday and today - especially knowing tonight’s is streamed on BSN. Was there last night and looked the poorest crowd I’ve seen all season, can imagine there will be even fewer tonight… Some gesture of both meetings for £35-£40 might have tempted a few more…?

You don’t think Lynn are running @TTT ?

I also just assumed that Voulas would stay as well. Heard Lemon is desperate to get Zischke back next year so it seems like there’s 3 pretty nailed on - Bewley - 8.34 Kurtz - 9.31 Zischke - 4.57 Leaves you 17.78 for your remaining 3 (assuming team building stays at 40). If you’re saying B Cook (6.86) is a sure thing then that leaves 10.92 for your remaining 2 - who else would you get?

If the team building limit remains the same (40.0) then one of Bewley, Kurtz, Lidsey or Cook would have to go. I just presumed Lidsey would say since you brought him to the UK and have invested heavily in him - although he does seem to have gone backwards a little bit this season

Fully aware we haven’t even made it to the Play-Offs yet, but you assume all the teams that are going again have already built their teams ahead of being ratified ahead of the AGM. Also - just a bit of fun isn’t it predicting what happens in silly season. My 2025 team predictions below (based on current GSA and assuming the team building limit stays the same): Belle Vue Aces 1. Brady Kurtz - 9.31 2. Annti Voulas - 4.55 3. Jaimon Lidsey - 6.97 4. Norick Blodorn - 5.54 5. Dan Bewley - 8.78 (8.34) 6. Tate Zischke - 4.57 RS. Jake Mulford (William Cairns when he turns 16) Total - 39.28 Birmingham Brummies 1. Freddie Lindgren - 7.84 2. Zach Cook - 5.47 3. Ben Cook - 6.86 4. Tom Brennan - 6.44 (6.12) 5. Danny King - 6.48 (6.16) 6. Wiktor Lampart - 4.93 RS. Leon Flint Total - 37.38 Ipswich Witches 1. Jason Doyle - 9.36 2. Keynan Rew - 5.43 3. Jan Kvech - 6.52 4. Vadim Tarasenko - 6.77 5. Tobiasz Musielak - 8.21 6. Dan Thompson - 4.29 (3.22) RS. Jordan Jenkins if he is still applicable? Total - 39.51 Kings Lynn Stars 1. Robert Lambert - 7.81 (7.42) 2. Niels Kristian Iversen - 6.73 3. Ben Basso - 6.89 4. Nicolai Klindt - 6.59 5. Richard Lawson - 7.21 (6.85) 6. Anders Rowe - 4.94 (3.71) RS. Ashton Boughen Total - 38.19 Leicester Lions 1. Max Fricke - 8.70 2. Craig Cook - 5.03 (4.78) 3. Luke Becker - 6.17 4. Sam Masters - 7.17 5. Ryan Douglas - 7.59 6. Lewis Kerr - 4.67 (4.44) RS. Sam Hagon Total - 38.85 Oxford Spires 1. Tai Woffinden - 8.67 (8.24) 2. Erik Riss - 5.47 3. Charles Wright - 6.30 (5.99) 4. Maciej Janowski - 7.01 5. Rohan Tungate - 7.63 6. Patryk Wojdylo - 4.74 RS. Luke Killeen Total - 39.08 Sheffield Tigers 1. Jack Holder - 8.70 2. Kyle Howarth - 5.35 (5.08) 3. Chris Harris - 6.37 (6.06) 4. Josh Pickering - 6.61 5. Chris Holder - 8.65 6. Kye Thomson - 4.35 RS. Dan Gilkes Total - 39.37

I personally think Janowski and Lawson should be our top 2 targets if we go again next year. I think RL has said ‘25 is a likely return to UK, but I just have a horrible feeling Belle Vue will get him. Will be interesting to see what silly season brings as there could be a lot of transfer merry-go-rounds with Sheffield having to get rid of one of J Holder, C Holder and Tai you would imagine.

He didn’t ride in Sweden last night so wouldn’t expect him to feature this evening.

Don’t think any of the names listed above could’ve guested for Wojdylo. Other than Kemp the only other options would be Craig Cook, Kyle Howarth and Zack Cook (who would’ve been my choice)

Do you know something we don’t? From the rumours I’ve heard it is very unlikely we’ll come to tapes in ‘25… And with regards to the 2 riders. Assume it will be Anders and NKI
