For which Polish Ekstraliga club did Sundstrom ride last year, I can't find an average for him https://speedwayekstraliga.pl/statystyki/lista-klasyfikacyjna/

Are dogs allowed into Owlerton on race nights?

Fantastic news that NKI is back in British Speedway at Kings Lynn.

Of course it is. It is the potential conflict of interests. Managing Howarth for Sheffield, whilst the same rider will ride against Leicester.

Much appreciated, where do they get that figure from? Had a good scour of the BSPA site couldn't find it.

Assuming.... Rye get Kasprzak, Kings Lynn get Iversen, Poole get Sundstrom, Belle Vue get Fricke, Poole get Shanes... 1. Leicester - have potential improvement in every department, especially with the experience Andersen & King in the pits. 2. Poole - You have to love it when Poole sign Poles that will blow the rest of the league away... remember King Artur? I am assuming Holders interest & Woryna's improvement will see them through. Assuming Woryna avoids a Polish ban, never a given. Unconvinced about any of the other teams playoff credentials. Lynn's decision to sign a rider as their second heat leader, who admits he will be using out of date equipment & doesn't want to be there ruins them, I like the engine room & #1 though. Somerset seem to think Jason Doyle will win enough heats so all the rest of the team have to do is not come last, certainly wont happen away. While I like watching Nicholls & Harris ride they should never be in the same team, and certainly never in a team that also includes Robson & Barker. Unless Rye are riding their home meetings on a 1200 metre grasstrack circuit with the worlds tightest turns. Belle Vue & Wolves most likely to finish 3rd & 4th.

What on Earth average is Proctor on to start the premiership season?

If all goes as planned.... Belle Vue Cook - 8.45 Drozd - 5.00 Tungate - 6.18 S Worall - 6.77 Fricke - 7.39 Bewley 4.60 A.N.Other => 4.11 38.39 Who is available on 4.11 that would add value?

It is now looking like... Berlin 04.05 Falubaz Zielona Góra - Apator Toruń Auschwitz 06.05 Unia Tarnów - Sparta Wrocław Prague 12.05 Warsaw GP

Yes.

How very amusing you are.

And Sundstrom, who is their asset. I think. His last average was 7.22 I believe. 7.29 is what my spreadsheet says Rye House have left.

Both Tatum & Pearson are annoying, but not as annoying as Ermolenko on commentary. That I can ignore, what I can't ignore is whoever is responsible for the live footage being pants. Imagine. Wolves v Swindon Grand Final. Wolves @ Monmore need a 4-2 to win. Wolves gate on a 5-1, Lindgren hogs the inside gives way to Throsell around the outside to lead, Thorsell naffs off. With Lindgren riding defensive Doyle nips into second at the end of the second lap. Doyle gives chase on Throsell but gives up, drops back to assist Morris, by hampering Lindgrens line at the end of lap 3..... What happens next? No one will ever know.... All the TV home viewers see is Thorsell streaking home to take the flag, an untroubled lap.

Please, please, please say it's Bridger

Not sure how. I am promoting creativity in team selection, team management should be a skill.

So, I am looking for advice. The better half wishes to visit Berlin, Prague & Warsaw. She would also like to return to Munich. I went to Prague on a stag doo, in 2003, as far as my comatose brain can remember it was very pretty. I have no objections to returning. Having hired cars for road trips to Northern Italy, Iceland & California I don't have an issue driving 6 hours a day split into a 2 stints, if morning & evening. Would it be possible to incorporate: Any meeting, VIII runda PGE Ekstraliga 10.06 Pardubice 13.06. 2018 18:00 The Czech Republic Any meeting, IX runda PGE Ekstraligi 17.06 Have been lucky enough to Witness Speedway at Wroclaw, Gorzow & Leszno before.

The stupidness of rules dictates that Howarth must be 1, still, I assume. Such limitations diminishes the skill of a team manager. That septet would be better if it top 5 were positioned Bjerre, Bates, Kurtz, Wright, Howarth. I think it was 1991 when Wolves only won the league because they had their best rider (Sam Ermolenko) riding at #4 all year. That is one prop I'll give Adams, Cradley had the better team that year but Wolves team management creativity meant they won the league not us.

Indeed. Kings Lynn brought THJ in on loaned equipment, hung him out to dry riding him at #5. Yet he was still the most interesting rider to watch in their team when on TV after Shalegate. I thought he did enough to deserve another chance, especially starting at reserve.

It is far from a massive gamble, but I imagine his scores will be somewhat inconsistent for the first month or two. Some tracks will obviously come more naturally to him than others. The big thing for me is, having someone of the quality & experience of Andersen alongside Vaculik & Pieszczek in the pits to offer advice. King also.

Sundstrom rode in the Swedish Allsvenskan last year, I guess that counts as his third league.

Excluded in the final for knocking Holder off.

Indeed. An assessed new foreign rider is always a gamble. Try winning the Championship in Football. Promotion to the Premier League, then the clubs only ambition for their tenure in the top flight is not being one of the worst 3 teams.

Lindgren was ranked higher in the GPs than Vaculik, despite missing the last two rounds. Vaculik averaged 0.6 higher in Ekstraliga, Lindgren averaged 0.9 higher in Elitserien. If you were to ask me who would average the most in the UK next year if both were here, I'd bet heavily on Lindgren.

Doyle, Lindgren, Vaculik, Morris, Thorsell. But then rank Chris Harris, Craig Cook, Danny King, Jack Holder, Josh Grajczonek, Nick Morris, Ricky Wells, Robert Lambert, Sam Masters & Steve Worrall in your head. I bet it nothing like they appear in the averages on http://www.speedway-stats.co.uk - they are the top ten from 2017.

Except for Jason Doyle, Vaculik averaged more in the Ekstraliga than any other rider competing in Britain last year. More, even, than the all conquering Woryna who spent the year as a reserve for Rybnik. Guessing after NKI's injury he was second heat leader for Gorzow, behind Zmarzlik. 11th overall, on 8.14. Stats in Sweden less impressive, 18th overall on 6.92. But of those likely to compete in the Premiership again only Doyle is higher. Still averaged more than Holder, Lebedevs, Kildemand, Lindbäck, Jonsson, Sayfutdinov & Bjerre. Is there any evidence to suggest he won't adapt to British tracks?
