And another potential problem with riders flying in and out of the country is bloody Covid restrictions. 

As things stand atm no rider will be able to fly in on the day of the meeting due to having to self isolate until they get a pcr test result. Going to cause huge problems unless it changes again. 

Having riders based in the UK has to be safe way to go I would have thought?

As those in charge of the country make the rules up day by day no-one knows what it will be like come April

There are exemptions in place for professional sportspeople, so the same rules will not apply to travel.

I can't believe people are asking why not Musielek, how many times in the past have we had problems with poles missing meetings or not putting the effort in

Tobi turned up every week at Swindon and was 100% committed at all times. Sheffield got themselves a diamond.

Or just perhaps Tobi wanted to ride at Sheffield ;)

He probably did,,, all I was questioning is,,, I wonder if we contacted him,, or someone like that,,, if we hadn't,,, then he was never a possible.  Or was it more a case of those  few will do,

I wonder if everyone assuming the deal with Batch was made to replace the expected signing of Buckowski is actually wrong

Perhaps he was always going to be here and when the Buzz deal fell through it was Starke drafted back in - rather like Jake for Klindt last season...

Would make more sense given how far we are under the limit

I think Ipswich have a good team for next season - Batchelor excepted.  I've never like riders who give up if they haven't gated in front, this is why I also dislike Cook as well.  I've always liked Heeps, a trier and able to pass people and Doyle & King make a solid top two.

Anyone know the rules regarding the number 8’s? Are they simply drafted in to cover absent riders, or do they travel to every meeting as part of the squad and can be used to replace misfiring riders at will?

Clear as mud at the moment...

I think they can replace any rider at any time, just like in Poland. 

So if you know your number 8 goes well at certain tracks,,, you are on to a winner,, and I think we may have pulled a masterstroke with Hume.  Not sure if it's replacing the IRR though.

Whereas I read it as they could be named in the team in place of any rider in the same way as being a squad member but not replace someone during the meeting on an ad hoc basis

Even in place of the rising star? Hume is arguably a stronger rider currently than Rowe, not even sure if Hume was on the rising star list? Surely clubs can’t replace their RS for meetings with their number 8’s..

I thought that was actually the main reason! Therefore avoiding the farcical guest position ala Bates last year

I agree with you  regarding Cook & Batchelor, Cook did that too many times for us last season, don't like riders who pull off the track whilst at the back & their engines are still running. Not sure about Heeps, he has been given too many chances already.

Won't the number 8 be part of the junior team after the main meeting, so will be at the meetings anyway.

I admire your faith and optimism.....
