The dynamic Dryml brothers, Ales and Lukas, have really come of age over the last two weeks for the JT/Fox Oxford Cheetahs.
You only have to look at the top of the Sky Sports Elite League to see what a difference their contributions have made.
Last year, there were plenty of fans who were looking to see the Czech pair replaced as it didn't appear as if they were going to make it.
Oxford Cheetahs' stars with young fans after Drayton Golf Club's Nigel Morbey, back row, far right, decided the the rider of the month award should go to the whole team after their double over Coventry
They were good on the big continental tracks, but they struggled here as they tried to get used to the new smaller circuits.
So, what's the difference? Confidence for one thing, if you can go out and beat the likes of Tony Rickardsson, Billy Hamill and Mark Loram, all former and current world champions, it makes you feel on top of the world.
Add to that some excellent advice from the likes of Leigh Adams and fellow professionals, and the results have been outstanding.
The Drymls were only supposed to be playing bit parts, picking up the odd five or six points as back-up to the main members of the team.
But so far they have been the main players and demonstrated the fact in the best possible way against Peterborough at the East of England Showground on Monday.
The secret appears to be the improvement in their gating skills but, having said that, no one chases harder than Lukas when he is behind.
Although Ales won his Under 21 world championship qualifier a couple of weeks ago, he has had to watch younger brother Lukas lap up all the cream with some stunning displays which culminated in him picking up his share of the world Under 21 glory at Peterborough on Sunday.
Now, however, Ales is beginning to come through in his own right with his match-winning performance on Monday.
Ales notched up his best-ever paid 15 for Cheetahs, with Lukas on 11, putting the likes of Todd Wiltshire, Adams and Co in the shade.
Had it not been for the brothers, Cheetahs would have got a real pasting.
It's all about teamwork, I suppose, and while it is nice to get carried away with the euphoria surrounding the bouncing Czechs, let's just keep our fingers crossed that they really have arrived.
I think the promoters knew something we didn't when they refused to replace them.
