Mr Blobby Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 Needs to find more consistency in his gating to be an out and out number 1. Otherwise we’ll have the same issues as last year in the big heats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do seem to remember him losing quite a few 5-1s at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawson and Cook also higher Exciting to watch though, no doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanAndersen Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 Still a bit to play with. Any obvious candidates if we go with Sedgmen and Riss? I feel Paco will be included though so that kills that notion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As things stand my vote would be to keep Lasse & Paco and add Eric which would come in under 38.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading his interview in the Speedway Star, sounds like Paco is definitely riding in the Champ, so Edinburgh seems the most likely destination by far?

szkocjasid Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 For the people who don't want Sedgmen, what about Wolbert? Edinburgh Josh Pickering 8.63 Kevin Wolbert 8.00 Kye Thompson 6.48 Paco Castagna 5.30 Lasse Fredriksen 4.57 Connor Coles 2.63 Max James 2.00 Total 37.61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickinho Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) I've seen a lot of teams being proposed on this thread but everyone seems to have given up on Bastian Borke. Seems like a wasted effort bringing him in last year to gain experience if he isn't going to be included in this year's team. Paring Paco with Kye this season won't help Kye at all but pairing him with a quality team rider like Vissing would help him a lot and would leave space for Borke to return as the number 2. Kye and Claus would be a far better 3 and 4 than Glasgow's pair Flint and Starke if Claus becomes a Monarch. Also, the second heat leader has to be Riss because Sedgman would be a really underwhelming signing imo (ask any Glasgow fan if you don't believe me) 1 Pickering 2) Borke 3) Kye 4) Claus 5) Erik 6) Coles 7) James Edited December 24, 2023 by Nickinho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 Wouldn’t mind paco, lasse and wolbert to finish with what we have points wise but will probably end up with the first two and Sedgy to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
