arnieg 3,637 Posted April 15, 2016 From Monday Aaron Summers is number one in Leicester averages (but only no 2 for his Premier League team!) And Paul Starke will be in top five at the expense of Klindt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barrow boy 119 Posted April 15, 2016 So Auty has a season at reserve? I don't think so. One FTR must always be a reserve but it might change each time new averages come out. It is always to be the lowest averaging FTR which rides as a reserve. I think? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted April 15, 2016 I thought the no7. (Second FTR pick) always stayed at reserve and the no1 pick can move up and down. Could be wrong though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,820 Posted April 15, 2016 So Auty has a season at reserve? I don't think so. One FTR must always be a reserve but it might change each time new averages come out. It is always to be the lowest averaging FTR which rides as a reserve. I think? Correct. Only the highest averaged FTR can move up at any one time, but it can be either reserve. With averages changing every 4 matches this is likely to see a switch in rider movement. I thought the no7. (Second FTR pick) always stayed at reserve and the no1 pick can move up and down. Could be wrong though No, not anymore Phil,it's either now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Happy Hunter 370 Posted April 16, 2016 Reading the comments about the alterations to bends 3 & 4 on various meeting threads it seems the general opinion is that there has been some improvement in the racing but we will not see the full benefit until bends 1 & 2 are done. I seem to remember that there was some suggestion earlier in the year that 1 & 2 could be done when there was a SGP or World Cup break. Does anyone know if there is a possibility that 1 & 2 will be done during the season or will they have to wait until next Autumn/Winter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone know if there is a possibility that 1 & 2 will be done during the season or will they have to wait until next Autumn/Winter? Or next spring ? With crowds so low they cannot afford not to make changes to bends 1-2 ASAP they need to have a good race track that people want to visit which is not the case at the moment at BP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beckettlion 195 Posted April 18, 2016 Another great piece of fixture scheduling leaves us without Wozniak and Ulamek at Kings Lynn due to a Polish championship meeting on Thursday. Freddie Lindgren for Seb and R/R for Wozniak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,270 Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Another great piece of fixture scheduling leaves us without Wozniak and Ulamek at Kings Lynn due to a Polish championship meeting on Thursday. Freddie Lindgren for Seb and R/R for Wozniak.Part of me actually thinks that arranging meetings where you can get a better rider in as a guest is now actually a 'tactic'.. And all the while the sport's credibility decreases bit by bit by more 'self inflicted' nonsense that any other 'professional' sport would find laughable... Never actually learn these promoters do they?... Edit : Thought guests were only for the Number One this year? Summers is there isn't he?

beckettlion 195 Posted April 18, 2016 We're missing two riders and in that eventuality you are allowed a guest I believe 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DunRobin 465 Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) I thought the no7. (Second FTR pick) always stayed at reserve and the no1 pick can move up and down. Could be wrong thoughHowever, if you look at the BSPA website, it shows Auty in the 1 - 5 position & not Starke. Is that an editing error or is it that only one of the EDR riders was eligible to move up while the other EDR rider always remains at reserve? That's not how the rule reads though, yet more confusion. Edited April 18, 2016 by DunRobin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
