All scored from reserve as that was the previous version of 'Rising Stars' but the riders stayed at reserve all year and faced 6 fellow reserves and just two second strings in their programmed rides.

Janowski is certainly 'magic' the way he makes 3 points disappear off his average.

Both former Reading Racers too

Prem: reasonable Champ: a little disappointing NDL: spectacularly good

Although he did have an EF while leading; but it's fair to say he didn't impress.

No, but would you sign a rider who could only manage one competitive ride?

He was very poor, even when he got a second he was coasting round. I would caution against assuming he'll be fit for regular racing in the near future.

I wasn't expecting the interval interview with ... Alan Molyneux

Agreed. He's a shoe in for Finland, but has to compete withThorsell, Lindack and Nilsson as a Swede and I suspect it'll be one Swede and one Brit (Brennan?) rather than two Swedes.

I think I know a little about speedway in the Thames Valley. Please don't teach grandma(or pa in this case) to suck eggs.

I hope this is not a widely held view. Certainly in my experience I've been welcomed into the Oxford family.

Well when this stupid rule was introduced as a knee jerk decision following the whining of a losing team manager* I and many other wise people (including ACU referees) said it was a crazy rule because it placed referees and medical officers in the invidious position of making a subjective decision on what's 'new' and what's 'aggravated' * King's Lynn (oh why is it always King's Lynn?) 4 July 2022 following the withdrawal of Michael Palm Toft

So 'back in play' Due to the actions of the King’s Lynn Promotion by postponing this fixture when facilities were available, and also already being under investigation due to the fixture being postponed in May 2023 From today's adjudication

Sad to note his passing. https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/1123037/tragiczne-wiesci-nie-zyje-andriej-kudriaszow

He's Ukrainian and 17, made a stunning debut at the back end of 2022 and Ekstraliga debut last season. He was one of my top 10 under 21's outside Poland in last season's Cheetahs' Chronicle.

Apart from 21 rides in the six matches she rode in.

Is that you Amy?

I blame Buster

Given their line-ups last night wouldn't it be better when Indianerna meet Piraterna to stage it in Krosno rather than Kumla? [Both teams tracked an all Polish top 5 last night]

Bellego's going to be busy!

So wild cards? My preferences would be: Lahti Thomsen Berge Loktaev Nilsson

Polish under 24 league rides on Tuesday. For that reason Swedes hardly ever ride in the U24 league.

Some stats from a recent article: Sweden 2009 2023 Meetings 232 122 Riders 122 48 Youth riders 60 30 Excluding reserves there were only four Swedish regulars in last season's Elitserien: Lindgren, Nilsson, Thorsshell and Berntzon Edit: add Lindback to make 5 as DazS has pointed out

The King's Lynn apologists really need to shut up. They are embarrassing themselves. There is a world of difference between calling off a match 'because I might lose" [yes, some of the KL boosters really used that argument] and because it is likely to piss down.
