Which Riders Will Miss Out?


Recommended Posts

With nearly all team places filled now which are the riders who will miss out, I can think of terrible Aarnio & Leigh langham can anyone add to this

Robin Aspegren , Kasper Lykke , Kauko Neiminen , Magnus Karlssen , Michael Palm Toft

Looking at Paulco's list, no great losses on the non-Brit side of things.

 

Shame for Lanham, and not sure if Sheffield suits him as a potential home track, but would be of benefit to the Tigers away from Owlerton.

Robin Aspegren , Kasper Lykke , Kauko Neiminen , Magnus Karlssen , Michael Palm Toft

Always liked Robin as a rider & when he was at Swindon he was also well liked off the track.

Bech has signed for Lakeside and is not looking for a premier team spot

Mickey Dyer suffered terribly from home sickness last year and was back in Oz before the end of October. Doubt he'll be back this year from what I've heard.

I thought someone on here had Posted ages ago that Dyer had retired. :unsure::blink:

 

A real shame - I thought he had a decent future in the Sport. :sad: :sad:

He is driving a big red truck for a living, and enjoying his family life. His life, his choice, I'm sure we all wish him well...

1. Nick Morris 8.84
2. Hynek Stichauer 4.56
3. Dakota North 6.55
4. Jozsef Tabaka 6.00
5. Mikkel Bech Jensen 8.41
6. Andre Compton 4.36
7. Facundo Albin 3.62
Out of those riders you could still make this team (not that Bech would have another year in the PL)
Shocking to see how many quality riders haven't been retained really :shock:

Three or even four of them could end up at Sheffield anyway

Though in Tabaka's case it's unlikely he would be fit for the start of the season anyway , or i'm sure Edinburgh would have included him in their septet .

Nick Morris 8.84 - Might yet be back at Somerset if rumours are true that some riders are having visa issues...

Mikkel Bech Jensen 8.41 - Elite with Lakeside

Mickey Dyer 7.58 - Retired

Sebastian Alden 7.37 - Unattached for now

Andrew Tully 7.19 - Sitting out a year

Leigh Lanham 7.16 - Unattached for now

Jozsef Tabaka 6.00 - Won't be fit for start of season

Mitchell Davey 3.00 - Likewise Jozsef

 

Of the remainder. I'd expect at least Compton and Albin to be at Owlerton, North maybe back to parent club Peterborough?

 

Still some decent riders there... Lykke had a good first season behind him and would be a very good reserve to start with... So too Palm Toft who is a snip on that average...

 

Tero Aarnio 5.86, Henning Bager 5.30, Danny Maassen 5.00, Michael Palm Toft 4.92 Dakota North 6.55, Robin Aspergren 6.39,Hynek Stichauer 4.56, Andre Compton 4.36, Max Dilger 4.22, Kasper Lykke 4.04, Jake Anderson 3.97, Facundo Albin 3.62, Nicki Barrett 3.60

Out of those, I think you can discount Maasen for coming back this year. It's unfortunate that he didn't achieve an actual average as somebody might have found him attractive on a 3, but think that it would be a tall order for him to live up to his assessed average of 5
