Someone said they'd heard from his mechanic that Kim doesn't intend on riding in the UK in 2018.

I was wondering if anyone knew what the plan was with Bates now? The statement says they'll support him, but doesn't mention if they're now building the team with him in it or a team assuming his services won't be available. 

Its very quiet at Beaumont Leys

It's all gone very quiet on the Leicester Lions front team-wise for next season ? Anybody any news snippets?

 

Cheers

Probably, sensibly waiting to see if there is any TV money, which sadly seems unlikely.

Anybody know what GSA James Sarjeant is for 2018 ?

 

Will be interesting to see

Didnt ride in the Prem in 2017 so going by Woryna ( and also Morley and Zach W at Lakeside in Champ) it should be his 2016 Prem figure and not a conversion or reassessment....

3.81 going off his 2016 finishing average? Doesn’t leave us an awful lot for the last rider if that’s the case.

And to add to the confusion Clegg apparently is a 2.00 from his 4 matches for wolves, which is neither his championship average or his starting 2017 average (given he didn't ride enough for a new average - he is given one anyway).  Seems they make averages stick to whoever asks. :neutral:

So Sarjeant's average for Premiership (superior league) team building is 3.81 yet his Championship (inferior league) final average from last season was 3.33, how can this be right?

If he has an established top flight average then that's the one that counts.  Unless the BSPA apply a rule to suit him like they have with Clegg.

If he is on a 2.00 odd average, very shrewd signing IMO, anything like 3.81, big gamble.

Surprised to see James back. I would have thought he needed to establish himself more in the second tier before being ready for the Championship, but if he's riding in the Lions colours, best of luck to him.
