Diamonds85 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 2 hours ago, Marky_Mark said: Is it a secret? 🤣 Apparently so, until the club announce who it is. It's got to be a returnee to the sport, with what points are available and the 'better option' label. No one who's raced recently makes sense with that label. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 2 riders who would be returning fit the bill. Both if remotely back to their best would be experienced riders who on average form would be very good reserves and could hold their own in the second string department at a push Both have been mentioned at least once on here. Stefan Neilson James Sargeant Neither would require a weigh in either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he sold some of his stuff to Jake Turner, the New Zealander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJC Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 (edited) Perhaps they have a Dayle Wood type 2 point Aussie/Kiwi lined up that they are confirming the average for? Not close enough to know if there are any these days that would qualify but there's usually one. Has Ben Whalley got a British granny?

So if they ask for too much then there is no other team space available and they could be left without a team to start the season? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
