Plan is Victor as both assessed. 
 

However think we will get stopped from doing it as don’t think the clubs that run the league will want it that way round. Make up some rule with Victor having a higher previous avaerge or something along those lines.

I'd go

1. Justin Sedgmen

2. Jonatan Grahn

3. Kye Thomson

4. Paco Castagna

5. Oskar Polis

6. Max James

7. Victor Palovaara

Personally think the 3 assessed riders will surprise a few, very impressed with this Edinburgh team, not got a lot of top end power but 6 riders who could be heatleaders and a young rider that they've stuck by.

Would be a real coup if we are permitted to have Victor at reserve.  More likely to be Jonatan Rahn I would have thought.  Since he is so new to UK tracks I would have Oskar paired with Sedgy.  Would also agree that the Kye/Paco pairing did not consistently work well, so my 7 would be :

Sedgmen

Polis

Thomsen 

Pavlovaara

Castagna

Rahn

James

Think Grahn will be at reserve dew to victor having a previous higher uk average although he has been reaccessed to a 5

Only thing I can see about it in the regulations is this, though not sure if the second paragraph would apply since Victor has been away for some time, I'd assume Victor would be 5th in averages but maybe Edinburgh can choose.

In any declaration where 2 or more riders hold an identical MA (cannot be determined by a 3rd or more decimal point) then the re-declaration must nominate the hierarchical order.

Where riders have a previous MA, then the higher placed rider from the previous issue shall retain the higher position.

There’s nothing in the rules to say he can’t but the unofficial rules made up by certain promoters will see Grahn start at reserve.

I'd say you are correct as Victor has had experience on uk tracks before.

that kind of does suggest that vp is more senior than grahn but as with many speedway rules its not crystal clear 

the blobby bleating is funny tho

Correct we are working on this to ensure fairness.

Did the same thing not happen at Peterborough, they wanted Tarasenko to ride at reserve but Wojdylo had to ride there, despite there being no ruling to enforce that decision?
