First signing to be announced 7am Tuesday, I'm hoping for somebody outside the normal expected signings or confirm McDiarmid to snuff out a sneaky feeling I have about other teams trying to tempt him away.

Could it be an Anders Rowe shaped hole??

I think Oxford would have made the play offs if Knudsen was able to ride, a lot of points dropped when the full 1-7 was unavailable.

If Jody is back at Redcar then I hope he does well. The injury to Nicholls at the end of the 2024 season is still having a knock on effect on the Cheetahs, Nicholls and Scott would have been in last seasons team if Nicholls was fit to start the season, circumstances meant they quite rightly accepted offers when they became available and now both appear to be back at those same clubs for 2026. Id therefore go with Ritchings at 7 and hope they can fill the gap with one of the better SGP2 guys. If Riss is unavailable then it looks tricky to find realistic alternatives if the one over 8 average comes in.

Think Heeps will retire, put Jody Scott at 7 leaves a new 4 point rider. Seems realistic, as long as Riss is able to come back from his illness

Nicholls has signed for Plymouth

Championship all day long for me

Scotty confirming there he's doing another season, does that suggest two leagues? Unlikely to be interested in a one league set up with tv work I'd imagine???

Watch this space

Morris on his average is likely to be able to pick where he wants to ride, can't imagine any team saying no thanks on that average.

Exactly

If it's only one league, why is there a question of Oxford running either Prem or Champ?

Only half 🤣

Doubt Tungate would notice if he's been paid or not this season going by his scores 🤣

It's not what you know, it's who you know, never been more true than in this case
