... I have never been as excited at the start of a new season as I am this year!
New track and a new look squad ... and what a septet it is!
Joe - With so much other Tiger's news taking centre stage, he has been off my radar. One of the most exciting riders to watch in world speedway and he's ours!!!
James - Back where he belongs! He will definitely improve his average and provide many exciting races at the 'Ashdrome'.
Josh - A bit like Joe, being in the news background lately. Will prove exciting races, take a few big scalps and become a solid heat leader.
Theo - Will prove the doubters wrong! I wouldn't be surprised if he finished second top in our team averages. Even if he doesn't the worst he'll be is a solid team man. Not many will have his calibre at No2 or 4.
Christian - Like Theo what's the worst thing that could happen - reserve? I'd take that any day, but doubt it will materialise.
Nick - A good chance he will be in the main team come the first greensheets - nice problem to have! I expect he'll really come on a bundle.
The Raj - Thrills and perhaps some spills (hopefully just wee ones).
Without doubt this is the strongest pre-season team we've had in a very long time. No obvious weaknesses and all riders able to increase their average. Yes, there may be question marks over Theo and Christian, but you can't have it all and certainly the exciting racing I anticipate on the new track will compensate for any team weaknesses. Biggest problem the promotion could have - who to put in Heat 15 each meeting!
I know I'm just saying what many have said before but I cannot contain myself with the season a few weeks away. Anyway we're all entitled to a little self indulgence occasionally!
A big thank you to everyone who's made this happen - from the promotion to the track volunteers!
