Zagar is good at the NSS but not interested anywhere else. Can see him dropping to reserve within a month. Absolute bollocks Zagar despite being excellent at the NSS once dialled into Perry Bar will score his average at least He's also had good scores and looked a class act at many different tracks when he is in the mood If Adams can get him motivated they have a good rider on their hands for the Premier, better than Pawlicki 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK could score maximums at home, so much be considered a better signing than Milik or Pawlicki were. If Zagar drops to reserve, which would take longer than a month with rolling / assessed averages, then Brummies will have a title challenging team.

Had a blinder in the play off semi and did his job in the final. There was only really wolves he couldn’t be bothered with and who can blame him. Not an issue currently, unfortunately. Top performer given the right canvas and worth a couple of points in the pits with his motivational skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveusaB Posted Tuesday at 08:22 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 08:22 AM Think most speedway fans are of the same opinion about Zagar by looks of it? Can do it IF he wants to....IF he doesnt, then might as well not bother? That's the risk/chance you take with 'has-beens' ! Need to get the track set-up right for him to do his stuff!

Someone said he'd ridden here before, was that at Championship level? Jonas Jeppesen was very young when he last rode in this country. He's now grown into being a very good rider and has plenty of experience in the Polish ekstraliga with Czestochowa. He'd be a solid rider over here imo. Edit: just doing some more research on him. He last rode in the Ekstraliga in 2022, achieving a 1.359 average (5.44 in our terms) 2023: rode for Landshut in the second tier of Polish speedway with an average of 1.262 (5.05) 2024: rode for Pila in the third tier of Polish speedway with an average of 1.809 (7.24) I'd say the Prem is somewhere similar to the second tier of Polish speedway in terms of strength, so Jonas should average 5-5.5ish. He's still only 26!! Edited Tuesday at 03:23 PM by Diamonds85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
