Agree Belle Vue must be odds on favourites. Tigers have lost Tai, Wolves and Leicester inconsistent.

Belle Vue definitely favourites, but anything can happen in play offs, and we do like a meltdown at monmore occasionally.  Although I expect winning last year will have taken some of the usual pressure away.

Belle Vue’s to lose this year now that Sheffield are without their number 1 and Wolves and Leicester are hot and cold.  The Aces need this one as with the averages the existing team is on there’ll need to be changes ahead unless the BSPL committee put a decent average limit in place instead of the ridiculous 39 points which limits the higher averages riders

Any points limit will hinder high averaged riders getting signed (plus make it easier for riders who have had a bad season to get signed) but the 39 limit is actually sensible imo. Teams should average out at 42, so 39+3(rs) should mean team strengths are similar to the previous season. It's actually slightly above a 42 limit as all the RS are above 3.00 now.

Riders might have to swap clubs, but in theory none of them should have to miss out on a team spot.

If there will be a Premiership next season is a bigger question than the points limit.

Belle Vue and the 4 other teams will be lucky if they cobble a league togther to ride in. Averages the smallest of considerations at the moment.

Big crash for Charles Wright at Wroclaw taken away in ambulance.

A very nasty one - didn't quite manage to get off and seemed to go between the join in airbags

Was thinking it's time for Bomber....... but looks like average is too high, hope Charles isn't too banged up but fear the worse.

RR is the only option if Wright is out

Blimey we don't know how injured a rider is and some talking about how it benefits thier team, this place can be sad sometimes.  Leave it a day at least.
