BIR - 1. ?, 2. Z. Cook, 3. Douglas, 4. S. Worrall, 5. ?, 6. Lampart & 7. Edwards

IPS - 1. Doyle, 2. Rew, 3. Brennan, 4. King, 5. Sayfutdinov, 6. D. Thompson & 7. Jenkins

KL - 1. B. Cook, 2. Kvech, 3. Iversen, 4. Klindt, 5. (6.95), 6. Harris & 7. Boughen

LEI - 1. Fricke, 2. Howarth, 3. Lawson, 4. Becker, 5. Masters, 6. (5.01 Sedgmen/Kerr) & 7. Hagon

OX - 1. Musielak, 2. Riss, 3. Janowski, 4. Wright, 5. Tungate, 6. (5.19 Sedgmen/C. Cook) & 7. Killeen

SHE - 1. J. Holder, 2. Rowe, 3. Woffinden, 4. Pickering, 5. C. Holder, 6. Gilkes & 7. Flint

Can't see you being far out, only thing i would say to scupper your sides is Masters is at Oxford and Kvech has 3 UK Options that he is considering.

And i don't know why, but i see Ryan Douglas at Lynn and not Birmingham.

I did have Douglas down for KL originally.

Ellis at BV would be an interesting one...

Always think that there is more to come from him..

Might sound daft, but I think he is a fair bit better than his average in the UK suggests..

With his mate alongside him maybe he will flourish and reach the level many thought he could get to four or five years ago...?

No Dougy rang  Bham about wanting to ride there next year

Does that mean he knows there’s no place for him at Leicester?

Apparently Masters (Oxford) and Douglas (Lynn or Birmingham) are both leaving Leicester, as well the yearly rumour that Lawson is going back to Lynn. 

Could be a very different 1-7 next year for the Lions:

1. Fricke - 9.14

2. Sedgmen - 4.79

3. Tarasenko - 6.77 ???

4. Becker - 6.57

5. Musielak - 8.21 ???

6. Kemp - 3.95

RS. Hagon

Total - 39.43

To be fair Zmarzlik  would be a great signing for birmingham. He has lots of track knowledge at perry barr. Im sure he did at least one meeting there in 2014 lol

I believe he rode in one meeting at Perry Barr on 2014 against Swindon.

The meeting was abandoned after heat 9, and the result did not stand.

Zmarzlik score 3 points, a last place in his opening ride followed by win in his third ride.

I don't believe he made any further appearances for the Brummies as the club pulled out of the league after or not long after that meeting.

That would be a decent side. I've heard all sorts of rumours. I'm convinced Fricke, Becker and now Howarth are coming. Already retained Hagon. I'd want sedgmen back at reserve. We've struggled at reserve all of last season. I'm sure Douglas is off but haven't heard anything to support that other than rumours. Same can be said around Lawson and Masters. I don't want Becker back personally but if he does sign we need a strong 5 to support Fricke at 1..

Looks like Lions paving the way for strong 1&5 instead of balanced middle order as per last two seasons. 
SD has preferred to build his Lions teams with riders based in UK so maybe a Brit big hitter to partner Max will be the case this year?

Hope you’re right. The more balanced strategy didn’t quite work this season, so a different approach next year? An 8+ rider at No.5 and an experienced No.6 please. If Hagon starts being beaten by his opposite No. at home I can’t see him lasting more than half a dozen matches, even though there appear to be no obvious replacements for that position.

Anyone thinking some talks are in place for Vaculik!? News over here is that stal need to find 5 million zloty before end of month to retain their Ekstraliga status next year after the internal audit found finance debt of 10 million. Talks are that high potential of Vaculik being cut to save money and give to the debt to retain the licence for 2025 or face demotion to national league / liquidation.

All being said, he may well end up at another Ekstraliga side but wonder if any promotors are sniffing around already from Britain!

I'm thinking the same thing, Something has to be brewing at Leicester because if it's true about Masters, Douglas and Lawson then Leicester must be after a massive hitter to support Fricke.

Vaculik did ride in the UK before, Even though it was only for half a lap around Swindon (I think) before he got injured.
