Shifty 5 Posted January 6, 2018 If Drozdz does end up as a 5.00 - i wouldn't mind the following team :- Cook 8.45 Fricke 7.39 Holder 7.16 Tungate 6.18 Drozdz 5.00 Bewley 4.71 Shanes 2.95, 41.84. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil The Ace 2,847 Posted January 6, 2018 So think we can 100% say we know 6 of the riders now Cook 8.48 Fricke 7.39 Worrall 6.77 Tungate 6.18 Drodz 5 Bewley 4.59 This leaves 4.09 left. So what are the options we have left. So we can get an assess rider at 4, the only 2 I know are 4 is Nicol and becker. Or we got upto 5.32 in championship. For me the only options should be Becker Todd kurtz Josh Pickering Jye etheridge I hope we go for Becker as he's gonna be a star. If not kurtz of Pickering will fit nicely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces High 70 Posted January 6, 2018 Maybe one of the aussies is more likely with ML running the Australian team? Todd Kurtz would be good, has experience in the UK too so might be less of a risk. Lots of pressure on Drozdz though if he is riding in the main body of the team rather than at reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavan 5,049 Posted January 6, 2018 Good result for Aces fans this morning seeing Tungate win the meeting and Fricke third................bodes well to have your second and third heat leaders doing well. Good result from Josh Pickering , maybe he might be looked at as a reserve option somewhere? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shifty 5 Posted January 6, 2018 As one of the lads on the Belle Vue Army forum has pointed out ... Joe Jacobs on 3.59 and must be in the reckoning. Excellent at home - as we all know - and might hopefully pick up some points away from home. Definitely one to think about imo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B.V 72 1,054 Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) Not just because its my team but if Drodz is assessed at 5 and Woryna and Szczpaniak who in Poland are both better riders are allowed keep their old averages. Which for both is lower than Drodz. Even though they have both improved since they last rode here and both have had a stint riding on British tracks and have more idea about what to expect set ups,different shale etc. Then I have to ask has the person working out riders averages got any common sense at all. All any of us fans want is fair play for all. Edited January 6, 2018 by B.V 72 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All any of us fans want is fair play for all. Drodz is new so 5.0 seems right. Don’t think he’s a 6. Poole’s 2 poles both have official averages. If Poole wanted Drodz do you think we would be able to get him on a 4? Of course not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
