All Rising stars going to be announced in next 48hrs was going to be today but one of last clubs to pick has asked to review their options as there may be a better rider not being used.

Have a feeling that Seth Norman may be the 2.00 rider that Glasgow will go for has good equipment and already done plenty of laps around Ashfield quite a bit of raw potential with decent equipment and mechanics.

Pickering had a fall with club owners at the start of the season over money and bridges have not been repaired during the season. When the sale of the club didn’t happen all riders were asked to take a pay cut which they agreed to apart from Pickering However as it was so late in the day he was left with no option but ride for Sheffield unless he wanted to sit out the start of the season and as already without a Polish contract due to asking for too much money from Leszno after a good season the year before.

Not so sure about the RS you have jammed may be another rider awaiting confirmation that he wants to do it

Not necessarily if said rider is allowed to return on their previous average achieved in the Premiership which only seems fair along with being good for British Speedway to have another GP rider in the UK

Up until a couple of weeks ago that was looking like the team apart from Np6 however as always happens in Speedway things change and riders change their minds other options become available so team has to change . I wouldn’t be surprised if Leicester were to have Two GP riders in 2027 if logistics can be sorted soon

Maybe not for Poole but has been in talks with at least one Premiership team to be their overseas U21 rider but as in 2026 his parents are not keen on taking on UK without a strong support system in place for Beau

The TV deal has become complicated in the last couple of weeks due to some changes happening at a couple of broadcasters which is resulting in them not being able to sign any contracts until these issues are resolved.

Could it maybe the other way around ? Just Jen’s comment that announcement they will be making in a few weeks was good for the club and British Speedway

As Leicester will be looking for a new rising star in 2027 on tonight’s and previous performances I think Jordy Loftus may be an option as does seem to ride the Leicester track well and with another strong Australian influence in the team could be a good environment for him to develop further . As Jen alluded to after the meeting there is some very exciting news coming in a couple of weeks at Leicester which will show commitment to the sport

I agree Cooper looks the best option if wasn’t for the play off rule would have been Nick Morris as in amazing form at present

I wouldn’t be so sure on that as if Lambert does ride in the UK and is looking more likely now since becoming world champion. He will be at a track that is decided as in the best interests of British Speedway for him to be at as the he will be paid a supplement to ride in the UK by BSPL on top of what the club agrees as their No1

In my professional opinion I would say viewing would have far exceeded the BARB algorithm figures and is an ex woke of fly Channels look more now and pay for the Sky data as shows lots more. Have to remember even from the data I posted this does not include any viewers using Freeview,Virgin,EETV, ITV X or Freely there was overseas viewing so Phil Morris rough prediction is not that far out

Can’t give you the full details as commercially sensitive but can confirm over 125,000 watched Or recorded the Live Speedway on Sky Q or Sky Stream. There is also still over 15,000 users that have it saved on their box most of which have viewed over 30mins of action

Ipswich May not be the only British team with a formal association to a Polish Club Extraliga team in 2027 Clubs appear to be keen to get some of their younger riders over to ride in the UK as well which would be a good thing
