Paco Castanga would be a good signing I think

Double thumbs up to that one too !   For the final Fab 4 my choice to keep within the 42.00 points limit would be :

Castagna..........5.52

Frederiksen......5.00

Ruml..................4.00

Jsh McDonald...4.00 *   

* Or Sargeant ...4.10

Think Frederiksen is a gamble.

Fair shout but he beats the likes of harris, ellis, bellego,berge and batchelor etc in the french league

We had him at Plymouth last season and believe me I've never been so disappointed, he couldn't beat an egg. Home and away totally out of his depth especially gating and first turns he would actually wait for everyone to go before he dropped the clutch he looked as though he was afraid. Nice enough lad love him to prove me wrong.

Yes - just as Kye Thomson this year LF is a bit of a gamble, but it did pay off this time. The way things are shaping up now, a new import 5.00 looks to be on the cards for 2022 also and I think the the management may well have sympathy for Frederiksen's disappointment last year, bearing in mind he was actually pictured in the starting 7.   Having said that, we could all be way off the mark and got it completely wrong which is not unknown !

fredericksen would be a good shout looked good in GP qualifier using sam jensen’s bikes maybe a new aussie and one that was around last season bit think british based rider have got to be something clubs will look at if travel restrictions come back any rider travelling could be a problem

Yeah obviously something amiss. Ive watched all the highlight reels on the french league and he looks good  what a shame  especially on that low an average too

He looks really good on his home track in the French league but seems to struggle a bit when away.

The difference between his home and away scores is quite large.

His home track is owned by his father and he's grown up riding it,it's big and fast very wide and I thought when Plymouth went to scunny last season he would be good,quite the opposite unfortunately he can definitely ride a speedway bike fast but in traffic and tight starts he really struggled, he may have progressed in the last 9 months I don't know,he's got great backing and keen as mustard so maybe worth a punt.

I saw him at Scunny and actually thought he looked relatively fast but as you say he was awful out of the gate and didn't want to mix it up in the first corner.. also saw him at the SON and didnt look any better
