RobMcCaffery 2,752 Posted May 3, 2016 I'm not sure how riders will progress in this sport unless they are givien a greater challenge The current format is flawed however There's a difference between giving riders a fair chance to progress and the situation that we have now.

mdmc82 2,878 Posted May 11, 2016 Update (9th May averages) Most teams stay the same. King's Lynn replace Rory with Batchelor taking their team total to 40.38 Wolves have Howarth, JK & Bech as heatleaders, Lindgren & Thorssell as 2nd strings and Masters & Clegg at reserve.

hyabb17 1,077 Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) It is what it is, teams & fans alike will just have to deal with it this season as I can't see how you can change things mid season unfortuantely. The promotors of each team need to look at how they've built their teams respectivily in order to maximise the current rules, clearly some have done this more than most. Admittedly I think that the new rules aren't right, if they wanted to allow the reserve to get official averages then they should have reverted back to the race format used previously so that the reserves were not protected. That would allow more realistic averages. Edited May 12, 2016 by hyabb17 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Some interesting changes for teams from 16th May (it's hard to take this season seriously) Belle Vue - Richie Worrall moves to reserve whilst His brother moves to a 2nd string. Coventry - Woryna moves to reserve and Bates moves in to the main team King's Lynn - no change Lakeside: No change Leicester - no change Poole - Pedersen moves to reserve and Ellis moves back to reserve whilst Newman finally moves in to the top 5 Swindon - surprisingly no change as apparently Tungate is only a 4 average still. Wolves- Bech moves to reserve! Whilst Lindgren becomes a heatleader & Howarth a 2nd string. Edited May 12, 2016 by mdmc82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted May 12, 2016 They have the wrong figure for Bjarne I think. So it'll be Buckowski in reserve. BV wont change until a week after stevie has his 2nd away meeting. Tungate will get an average in a weeks time as he has now done 4 home and 4 away. As has Sedgmen. So Tungate moves into the 1-5, not sure what's Sedgmens average is and if it's him or Wright who drops to reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tungate's average is just over 7, so he will be Swindon's second highest in he averages. Sedgmen moves to reserve. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brewer 159 Posted May 13, 2016 Think you can discount Rosco, Hemsley and Horton. Not necessarily, like politicians, they tell you what they need to. Let's face it none of them complained or tried to get it changed in the winter before the season started, we as fans could see it was flawed back then why didn't they until recently.
