With you on that one, I'd not be surprised to see Pickering back at a similar level in due course. Then again, good on him for giving it a go. I can't say I understand those crabbing Tom Brennan choosing to move up either - it's his career and his cross to bear if it goes south. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably wrong, but can't imagine many reasons to shed him at the moment. Definitely wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch Pickering & Douglas in Poland they are far from the Top.With the Continental riders coming through they will have their work cut out (look how long they have been Championship riders).They probably earn bigger money over there though.(if the get paid).Wish them well whatever they do though they are entertainers.

Likewise, I wish both well, however Douglas can gate, Pickering can't consistently. At a higher level it will be exposed and its points that help riders stay in contention for team places.

Think they are both giving up Championship so they can commit more to Poland. Josh said on a podcast he was riding at Armadale on a Friday night then driving to London to catch a flight to Poland to race on Saturday. Polish teams have practice sessions and they were missing those. On a plus side for us Championship fans if these top riders are giving up our league for Poland maybe we can get back to regular weekly home meetings instead of working round riders schedules. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerryxo Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 Confirmation that Brennan, Basso, Tarasenko, Vissing & Nowak will not be in next year's team. Hoping this means Bomber, Complin & Pijper are! https://glasgowtigers.co.uk/four-more-leave-tigers/?fbclid=IwAR0wdtxwKBQR3oTQ_lmGv3KuQ_QFntx5LOkEiRfkCgeOoVuHKlMllpeX8pg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A heatleader round Ashfield and better than that average away. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 The Championship is going to look very different in 2024. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickinho Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 "Brown says that the new team will be revealed midway through next month following the British Speedway AGM as the management continue to finalise new riders." No messing around by the sounds of it. Good to hear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 Not unexpected news. Tarasenko was never going to be allowed to do a full season in champ by his polish club. won't take risk on Marcin again given what happened this season. Ben deserves to give Poland a real go without rushing around for flights after Friday meetings. Claus is pushing 40 and coming back from injury. As others have said hopefully means have bomber Lee and ace as a base to build from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJC Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 Vissing probably the only decision the club has had to make out of those. Imagine Piper will be considered a RS, if they are back, otherwise it could be a long tail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pijper 3.17 Leaves 17.15 left, if it is 38pts next year.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borke possibly on a 4 at no.2? Leaving a 5.00/ 5.5 to complete? Really is going to look like a much different league next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
