Typical kings Lynn then?

To a tight budget.

[TTT]

Wojdylo can't be in then because the punters won't put up with Buster putting out a KL side 1.35 under the limit especially when he's not paying out for Panthers riders in 24.

 

Musielak 8.69

MPT 5.13

NKI 6.64

Basso 6.25

Tarasenko 6.94

Jenkins or Rowe (RS)

 

Leaves 6.35 so it has to be Wright, Brennan or Schlein for the final place imo.

Uninspiring. Really not sure on Tarasenko on an average just under 7. When he first came over on a 5, sure, but not on 7 for me. Find another on a 5.00 assessed who has the potential to up that average like Tarasenko has. Doesn’t always work of course. Rew came on an assessed 5 and ended up dropping it so it’s always a gamble. But personally I’d much rather roll the dice and take the chance on a potential average jumper, than signing riders whose averages look bang on the money. 
 

Edit: Mind you, MPT at reserve should fill his boots.

That’s a shame. Probably rode himself out of a team place in all probability! Average just under 5 now looks a bit awkward.

Fully agree, Tarasenko is a risky signing as second HL imo because his average is mostly based around his Showground, Signing him as a No.3 / No.4 is fine but as a No.5 is a huge gamble.

These numbers don't lie.

I can see bewley at lynn next year personally …

Well if Tomalins claim is correct Buster made at least £100k profit at Boro last year so you would think there's a little wiggle room.......

I think Tarasenko is a pretty safe bet, most tracks he saw for the first time last year. He saw Kings Lynn once and was unbeaten until he crashed in a first turn incident in heat 13. He spent a large part of his time figuring out what are the best engines for english tracks and experimenting so I'd say there is probably more to come from him. He's ultra professional, brave, and very switched on. If he goes to Lynn, I'd expect him to be pushing for the #1 race jacket by the mid year.

It's funny how many people on here underestimate just how good Vadim Tarasenko is just because they've seen him once on a British track he's never raced on before  He's one of the world's best and it's an honour to have him racing on our shores that's for sure. An average just under 7 is daylight robbery for whichever team gets him imo.

Also is Patryk Wojdylo a realistic rider to return? I hope so, he looks like a brilliant rider

If it's true, maybe he should of backed his some of his pre season words, and bought it then 

Vad will be a great back up to a No1 at the AFA. Once dialled in he could average 8.5 -9 around there. The first thing is to win your home meetings. If he can up his away average by a point or so as well, then all good.

He's a middle order Ekstraliga rider. If it's an honour to have him here then it says more about British speedway than anything else, he's about the same level as someone like Buczkowski was.

One of the worlds best?? LOL give over. I wouldn’t touch him on his current average either.

Buszkowski would be a welcome addition to British speedway as well though? Much better than some of the 'heatleaders' we already have over here... no offence to them. We need to be realistic, not all the big GP riders are gonna come here, so riders like Vadim and Krzysztof are ideal.

Middle order Ekstraliga is pretty good for this country... There's a lot of good names that he finished higher in the averages for in Poland.

You don't average 1.692 in the Ekstraliga by not being one of the world's best... He finished higher than riders such as Bartosz Smektala, Jaimon Lidsey, Vaclav Milik, Kacper Woryna, Chris Holder, Pawel Przedpelski. Not bad. Sitting JUST behind Andzejs Lebedevs and Piotr Pawlicki...

I think there could be a bit of improvement in Tarasenko and Wojdylo assuming they both sign and get on well with the AFA.

If the MPT rumour is true then he would appear to be the best version of Plan B that they could come up with once Bomber backed out. That would have been a pretty good side but IF its MPT instead to go with the other rumoured five plus Basso then it looks one good signing short.

Jenkins or Rowe (RS)

 

Leaves 6.35 so it has to be Wright, Brennan or Schlein for the final place imo.

 

If that ends up being the top 5 . Wright is the rider they have to sign, out of those 3.

As a Diamonds fan it pains me to agree... But I do.

1. Tobias Musielak

2. Charles Wright

3. Niels Kristian Iversen

4. Benjamin Basso

5. Vadim Tarasenko

6. Michael Palm Toft

7. RS

Good looking team imo. Not title contenders, but good nonetheless

I think it will be Wright tbh.

Can see Brennan at either Ipswich (Was the rumour) or Birmingham who he's made a guest appearance for many times in the Championship.
