He’s moved to Dackarna. He’s asking for silly money but still think we will pay it. So yes. I think he will be out no1

If I was the 6th best rider in the world...

And put as many bums on seats at the NSS as Dan does..

I too would definitely be asking for "silly money"..

If money wasn't an issue (2022 rules used)

Belle Vue  
Dan Bewley 8.91
Robert Lambert 7.61
Tai Woffinden 6.85
Mikkel Michelsen 5.67
Anders Thomsen 5.53
Tom Brennan 4.40
Connor Bailey RS
Total 38.97

Michelsen and Thomsen would never be allowed on those averages, I think Tai’s average is a little out of date now as well. It is ridiculous that by using old averages you could fit 5 GP riders in under the limit

Yeah, GP riders definitely should be reassessed!

100%...

Should be quite a bit lower given they haven't rode over here for so long and so many GP stars now ride over here...;)

(Only if the Aces are interested obviously)....:D

I agree with your comments & clearly don't expect to see half of those riders in the UK. But GP rider Lambert didn't get his average re-assesed. Neither did Jakobsen, who will use his 2018 ave in 2023 (despite riding the required 6 league matches this year)!

I wonder if the Aces will ask for an away fixture to be scheduled for Monday 19th June 2023 to avoid clashing with an International Football match being played in Manchester on the same night?

It's at Old Trafford, one of England's Euros24 qualifiers: England v. North Macedonia. Haven't seen why this isn't at Wembley,

Harry styles is playing Wembley :rofl:

I would be very surprised if BV and Lambert can “agree terms” for 2023. The stunt pulled for the p offs was a one off ( ok a two off) deal that would be unaffordable for an entire season. 
Anyhow isn’t he is on the long term injury list after falling off a kids bike in the play park ?

I'd be surprised if he can get in the Belle Vue team.

With Bewley, Fricke, Woffinden, Lambert, Zagar, Kurtz, and Wright all fighting for the 3 Belle Vue heat-leader positions, some are certainly going to be disappointed.

I thought Woffy had stated he wasn't doing UK in 2023 despite moving house back here?!

Lambert’s average wasn’t reassessed because the current regulations say that averages are valid up to three seasons.

Not sure if I've ever heard of that regulation. Who decides on wether a rider warrants a re-assesed average?

Crump didn't get a large reduction, Complin got a bigger reduction - so it kinda looks like it's a "just make up the new averages" policy? Also Jakobsen will be using his 2018 ave in 2023, so I guess the rules can't say averages HAVE to be reassessed, just CAN be reassessed?

He'll definitely recover in time for his first Polish match!

No Lidsey or he got too big for his boots now.

Can’t see him doing Sweden Poland and Uk. And like some Aussies now. They do t want Uk anymore. 
 

Look at rew and Fraser bowed. They could do with Uk but they don’t think it will help them. Although rumours are few might be in championship

The team I can see is. 
 

bewley

brennan

zagar

blodorn

kurtz

berge

gilkes as rising star 

Can you see Belle vue and Cookie making up he would fit instead of Berge. Could still do a dam good job as a second string at the NSS and i.m.o  be much better away than Berge. Plus keep Brennan at reserve for a while.
