Still room for Thorsell on a short term deal then replaced by Nick Morris?

That actually took longer than I anticipated!

He had to wait for a bout of his morning glory to settle down 1st

Don't think it is, looks a good team that will challenge.

Zagar is a bit hit and miss .Team is ok .Depends on last signing...

In this league Zagar will be fine.

Zagar

At Foxhall

12+1 from 5 rides at no.3

11+2 from 6 rides at no.3

5+1 from 4 rides at no.1

At Lynn

12+1 from 6 rides at no.3

At Sheffield

7+1 from 5 rides at no.3

9 from 6 rides at no.3

5+2 from 5 rides at no.3

 

Some good scores at Foxhall and Lynn not being in the no.1 berth, think he'll get on fine at Leicester & Oxford, knows the NSS 

If he finds another gear at Sheffield and gets dialled in at home, he'll be a decent no.3

 

Lidsey, Brennan, Iversen, Douglas, Woffinden and Kildemand/Wright depending what happens at Oxford

Would say Zagar at no.3 should be decent, certainly not the worst no.3 in the league by any means

MJJ should be coming in on a 7.5 average at be at no.5

Does Kenneth Bjerre fit for the final signing?

[Petecc]

The last rider should be obvious,  youngish ,able to improve.  That rules out all the other past it, over the hill guesses I'm reading here.

I'd be really surprised if Jensen achieves a higher average than Zagar, I reckon MJJ 6.5, Zagar 7

I'd expect MJJ to average more than Zagar. Firstly because MJJ was in excellent form last year, but also because Zagar only rode one meeting last season.

The wager is on! 😄  I'm biased because I never rated MJJ when he rode in the UK before and don't care about overseas form 🙈

Zagar tends to give up when at the back ...

[Falcon1983]

MJJ rode here years ago and had a good year last so you'd expect he comes back as a muxh improved rider

Think Zagar will get a high 6 average almost a 7

MJJ low 7ish

A lot of riders do that but I would not say Zagar does particularly.

I wouldn't want Nick Morris at all. Would rather have Sedgmen
