Bomber and Rowe nailed on for Kings Lynn so that’s the numbers 2 and 3 in team sorted, need a big hitter though to replace Leicester bound Fricke, tried the solid 1-6 before that didn’t end up being the right way to go, just not sure who is going to be the number 1 for the Stars this coming season
So if the jungle drums are right and Doyle and Bewley both end up as Ipswich’s number 1 and 5, who is going to come in at Belle Vue as number 5 to be backing up Brady Kurtz? What about Josh Pickering moving over the hill from Sheffield? Would fit Mark Lemon’s MO as an Aussie rider and could see him easily coming to grips with NSS as a home track
Parnitskyi would come in on a 7.50 have to be a GP rider for 2 consecutive seasons which he hasn’t, next bracket is 7.50 for Ekstraliga riders with 6+ average
Think Brennan will be only change in top 5 unfortunately (replacing Rowe), needed a bigger broom to clear out a few who have no value with their average especially with poor away number
Been the rule for a long time that highest averaged rider has to ride at number 1 and lowest two at 6 and 7, if Berwick have built there team more solid throughout then that’s their decision.

I can see Pickering coming in as number 1, he wants that race jacket in the Premiership and unfortunately for him he won’t get that at Sheffield for start of the upcoming season. With a 40 point average could move Musielak to 5 where he’s more comfortable (what an exciting pair for ht13 by the way!), can easily then accommodate Lidsey as third heat leader with Morris in engine room at 4 and Thomson remaining at 2
From a proposed team I was told (not Ipswich by the way) that was built to 40 points for the 6 riders with R/S not included. To have some new riders over in UK who would come in on assessed 7.50- 8 point averages 40 needs to be the minimum to increase the gap between both leagues
Looks like they had to choose between Dan T and Morris, imagine Thomson is the cheaper of the two also which with state of British Speedway woild have been a factor
Only stipulation is highest averaged ride has to ride at number 1, you can place your other riders anywhere in the 2-5 riding order, but usually have second highest at 5 and third highest at 3
It’s going to be Kyle Howarth. Proper racer, gives it his all, been a good Championship number 1 and 5 over the last 5-6 years great to have 3 riders capable of being number 1
Like I posted earlier in this thread, Oxford are going for a top heavy line up with 3 x 8+ pointers (third heat leader deal done just waiting for the announcement from the club). Kileen expected be number at 4 so still will have experienced number 3 with him, team will have a long tail though but at least the top 3 should be able to not just score plenty but able to share experience with the lower end of the team
