......and how can anyone say Claus definitely won’t improve?  How would they know that for sure. My opinion is that he’s still on the way up. Good luck to him and to Newcastle. 

Interestingly Stevie Worrall said after signing for Poole that it would feel strange being at number 3 as he considers himself a number one rider, but Vissing was almost a point higher last year so should be able to handle the number one spot! Won't be the strongest in the league but keeping his average would be a good season I reckon!

Maybe 3rd strongest after Castagna & Lambert!

Personally feel Connor is better than Paco... Maybe Simon is better, but certainly not at Brough...

Sam Jensen average was obtained by riding at No4 in the Team last season,so  IMO I see him as the best reserve in the league SO FAR.

I do agree... Sam Jensen is a hell of a reserve, and I did sort of forget about him being a reserve... But I think Connor would give him a run for his money for sure...

Think James Wright (Although a little unknown) is definitely the best second reserve in the league... We have the best pairing for sure :) Followed closely by Glasgow...

Think Claus will do a solid job... But he's not the MASSIVE number 1 the likes of Poole and Glasgow have... Still look forward to seeing at least 3 (Hopefully more) new faces in Diamonds kevlars... Predictions for the 20th? Can't wait!!

The funny thing is, that seems like the complete opposite description of the Claus I'm on about xD Hope it's a year of delivery for him in 2020... And maybe a few on track antics might be nice though :D

Unusual move but has a lot of credit. He rides Brough well through being with the Gems this year, and proved a good test for Josh at no 2.  Always good to sign assets especially when they are young, and we can stand back and watch his progress like other good ones we have produced.

Maybe Joe has been in the plan for a while, but with team building plans being subject to changes, maybe he'll get his chance at a later date.

Let's hope he brings a big hitter and a 2nd string :t:

It's already been said that Claus Vissing is our number one, so the "big-hitter" isn't gonna happen. And with 12.12 pts left it probably wouldn't happen anyway as Connor Mountain is at reserve on a 4.61 average.  That leaves a 5ish and a 6+.
