Agree with that group in the team, but will be unhappy if the one over eight excludes Batch. Will have to see what the AGM comes up with this year at its meeting.  

Whether it does or not, and it's incredibly harsh saying this, but we can't include Batch unless we are allowed to keep the same team. If we have to build to 42.50 and had Doyley and Batch then the tail will even longer than the team that started 2019. Feel bad saying that as Batch was so good last year and won a lot of people over.

He’s won over me Coombers....I’ve not been a fan of his for a few years now. But, .in his defence, he’s certainly a better team rider than Doyle is. Trouble is, I reckon Batch is a better rider when he has a genuine number one in the team who can take the pressure week in, week out, and who rarely has a poor meeting (like Batch does from time to time)  

Unfortunately, we all know the champions will be broken up and although hope and sentiment keeps our interest, I can’t see any chance of the team remaining together.

Yeah Batch is the best number 5 out there. Always been good when he had Doyle or Ward with him. We should never Doyley as long as he wants to ride for us though.

Hoping that as many of last season’s champions are back as possible.

Doyley, Ellis, Razzer & Perks must be back & Tobi if he does Britain.

Guess Troy will depend on the one over 8 being done away with & more than happy to have Claus back.

I hated that rule when it ruled out M Zager coming back to us, still hate it now and I hope You lot can keep both Doyle and Batch.

DOYLE could end up riding Sunday (Poland), Monday (GB), Tuesday (Sweden), Wednesday (Denmark) and Thursday (GB). That's a lot of travel let alone racing even for a workaholic like JD.

Unlikely. The Danish League is becoming virtually entirely Danish. The match I attended this year was contested between two all Danish teams. 

The only foreign riders to appear regularly in the DSL were Jaimon Lidsey, Kevin Wolbert and Luke Becker.

Hasn’t Jo Swinson’s Husband signed for a Danish club?  :)

DOYLE has signed for a Danish team

Yes, he has, but will be sharing the #1 duties with Nicki Pedersen....

Not like you to not tell the full story, Phil, especially as its on your employers website.....

https://www.speedwaygp.com/news/article/7929/doyles-danish-deal

 

Aussie ace Jason Doyle is on his way to Denmark for 2020 after joining Holsted’s squad.

The Newcastle-born racer is set to share the No.1 berth with triple world champion Nicki Pedersen and will only race a limited number of fixtures.

Doyle has already agreed terms with Vastervik in the Swedish Elitserien and has made no secret that he’s keen to stay with Swindon in the UK. He has also been heavily linked to Polish side Czestochowa.

A busy schedule suits the 2017 world champion and he’s looking forward to playing a part for the Danish Tigers.

He said: “I am excited to announce I have signed a contract with Holsted Tigers in the Danish Super League. I will not be racing the full season in Denmark but just a few matches.

“I am super happy to have the opportunity to race for one of Denmark’s prestigious speedway clubs. See you all in 2020! It’s going to be a great year!”

 

He will indeed race on Wednesdays in Denmark, but its not going to be every week, even more so when you consider that Holsted raced 10 fixtures last year prior to the Danish Play Offs, so Jason will probably have 5 or so matches for Holsted...

WAS just pointing out that it is possible that Jason will race five days on the trot ... and will love every minute of it.
