Wolverhampton 2016

Haven't been on her for a bit which is a good job as I have not been too happy with the way the league is going and the limit set too high at 40,5 when there are not the riders around to be heat leaders especially with the likes of Janowski, Zagar, Iversen, Kildemand etc likely to be leaving Britain out of their plans next season.

 

 

The limit should have been set lower at say 35 for the six riders and a draft rider at number 7 which is more realistic when you consider who is around to be selected and the averages they carry.

 

As it is we have to try and build a strong team from the riders available and with Kylmakorpi 6.80 and Lindgren 6.11 already as heat leaders, Wolves have to be looking for the strongest rider available and that should be the rider left out at Swindon now Doyle has joined them and most likely it will be Zengota or Batchelor as I can't see Nick Morris being released.

 

 

Some years ago Freddie was at Zielona Gora with Zengota and he came over with Freddie a few times to watch and wanted to come to England but he was never signed and Swindon stepped in and got a bargain and a committed rider who has not been given the credit he deserves and next season will start as one of the highest averaging riders in the Elite League at 7.79.

 

With Kylmakorpi and Freddie that should be a decent top three when you look at what other teams could be and if Jacob Thorssell is classed as a second string (?) then there would be 6.25 left for the final place and that could be Ricky Wells 5.91 which is not as good as Rory Schlein 6.24 but he will most likely be a heat leader.

 

Rumours at the end of the season however was that Sam Masters 5.60 will be a Wolves rider next season although I would rather go with young Joel Andersson who will possibly be assessed at 5.50 and looked good in the Olympique and on the pace for his first time at the Green.

 

 

 

As for the sharing of Monmore with Cradley and the one meeting each fortnight, well it's not a great move for Wolves and hopefully if things change in the future Wolves will still hold the rights to riding there and it would have been good to have seen a Wolves team entering the National League instead of a so called outsider renting the Wolves track since 1928 and sharing the race night.

 

One thing is for sure, if Wolves don't get a team challenging for honours and not having weekly racing, I can see the Wolves crowds getting smaller and Cradley getting much bigger crowds in the National League.

No one seems to know whether he is a heat leader or not, but if he isn't PK on 5.51 has to be a better option than either of these two, as much as I like the look of both riders mentioned.

I agree in a way but the most important signing Wolves need is a strong heat leader and then if PK can return as a second string he gets to stay there all season. This season he started as a second string but it was clear he would soon move up but with Kylmakorpi, Freddie and a good #1 he should be able to be a good rider to have at #2 or #4.

 

 

Just hope the whispers about Kenneth Bjerre being the third heat leader are wrong !!!

Just over 6 but prob should be classed as a hl. So no pk? Freddie as number one again?

Depends if he is classed as a heatleader. Hopefully not. PK would complete a solid 1-5, with someone like Zengota. However thats unlikely...

 

Ricky would be my choice. Then Jacob.

 

Welcome to the Wolfpack Mikkel! Nice to see a new face.
