Lol the team is all but done but names will be released as and when the maximum local press coverage space allows. The last place in the team is down to 2 riders and that very much depends if the main target wants to return to EL racing in 2016.
Great signing for Swindon, never In doubt after Rosco said he was looking for an out and out number 1. It's amazed me it hasn't happened earlier as he is a club asset after the Janowski swap 3 years ago.
Holder will be at Poole and NKI at Kings Lynn, Mark my words. I said weeks ago Doyle was going to be at Swindon.
KK is in talks with another 1 club but who that is I'm not sure, likely to be Leicester or Belle Vue.
Hit the nail on the head Skidder 😁 glad you said it!! The promoters made the list of 24 riders for heatleader positions and that was rubber stamped.
There will be 2 more Aussies in the team as I have mentioned previously but there could be a third if deals don't work out for the last bit of the jigsaw.
I'm sure it will be clear who owns Brady in the coming days 😀 Robert will remain at KL I'm sure, Buster won't let his star asset leave. Shamek would be a great signing but outside the box how about Craig Cook to partner Holder at the top of the team?
Because we have 7.76 remaining if Kurtz and Holder sign. If we already have 3 heat leaders in Hans, Holder and Buzz we aren't allowed another one. So would be looking at a none HL under 6.50.
I did say 'could' look like this
Without knowing if Hans is a heat leader or not this will shape the team. If he is and we sign Holder along with Kurtz we will end up being a point under the limit due to the fact we have to sign a second string with an average less that 6.50.
I have a feeling the quote from the echo with regards to being led by new rider could be incorrect. I think Chris will lead the team on a 7.47 average. We may hear some more team news later this week. I simply can't see where any high average riders will come from and teams will have more 7ish riders as their heatleaders, building a more solid all round team. I hope I'm wrong but simply can't see many options.
People are soon going to realise the teams will be weaker with regards to GP boys missing. The GP boys don't want the schedule, doesn't mean the racing will be poor though.
