Aakko's win was Feb 2003

And you'd be right last two non Russian winners were: 15 March 2003 Bauer 9 March 2003 Sereniuos .. since when (at a quick count) 139 GPs have been won by Russians.

However that is not a rational approach, as because of the destrengthening of the NDL all other averages will have been inflated so a 7pt 2018 average is more equivalent to an 8pt current GSA.

But that would still suggest a company that has probably lost in excess of £600k in the last five years.

Only seen the last two, gosh I suddenly feel so young

Are you sure it's not the Royston Vaisey thread?

It's still during the Danish close season and a full 6 months since 2021 season in Denmark ended. It may not be the most exciting of events, but the timing isn't that irrational.

Clearly it isn't. Stop stirring

Didn't the Wiesbock's get banned for that?

What about Jan Zabik?

According to a Mildenhall prog the Fen Tiger Cubs lost 39-38 with Mark Bilner scoring a maximum. There was a return match on 8 July at West Row.

Maxymillian Bogdanowicz? Bradley Wilson-Dean? Ernesto Matjusoneks? Philip Hellstrom-Bangs? At least the talks aren't frivolous

Sounds plausible. Would Josh Embleton be another option for the final spot?

Of course everything was so much better before Chapman came along

I believe there were other reasons behind that particular decision.

For riders like Kennett and Newman yes. For those who joined other teams their final GSAs are shown (which are of course after removing Eastbourne results) under their new teams.

Yes, but fairly infrequently, probably not a good choice. The Dane with UK experience who was on song last year was Rene Bach.

Grajczonek is European, he uses Polish ancestry to ride in Poland (who'd have guessed with a name like that!) The problem is that since brexit European riders need work permits too.

Re Polish Lge 1 and the Prem: Looking at the averages of the two riders who competed in both leagues (Kurtz and Becker) I would suggest that the two leagues are of a similar standard and I wouldn't like to express a definitive view as to which is stronger without further analysis.

3.69 looks correct. Remove his 9 from 6 against Eastbourne and replace it with 0 from 4 against Newcastle (4.8.19) and you get 3.78. Then deduct 2.5% and you have 3.69.

No. The job of the liquidators is to take ALL assets and ALL liabilities. And then realise the assets to distribute among the creditors according to pre-determined rules. Rider contracts will not be part of liquidation as they will have been voided by the insolvency and the rights reverted to the BSPL.

Still riding in Ekstraliga last season averaging 5.8 (Chris Holder averaged 6.48)

Too early, but he is one of two 16 year old Americans worth keeping an eye on. Alex Martin is the other. Both look far better prospects than Wilbur Hancock

It wouldn't have been my first choice (with no 4's on the calendar I'd have gone for Peterborough, or left it at Sheffield), but it isn't really that controversial. I prefer neutral venues, but the economic necessity is to draw a crowd and I'm sure Poole will do that.
