No disrespects to Ulrich Ostergaard but he's definitely not a NO1 Spot on can anyone really see any of MPT, Ostergaard, Lunna, Lambert or Grondal adding 1.5-2 points to their average? Even if we do sign a big hitter at 1 it just leaves a disjointed team with Ostergaard and MPT in heat leader spots. There's a reason why Ostergaard was hidden at 4 all of last season Edited December 17, 2017 by Flappy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillwhitewasmad 1,483 Posted December 17, 2017 Lunna will add .75 to his average if he stays fit he’s still on the upward curve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holder is back as NO1 and maybe they are waiting to get around his Polish fixture schedule, just a guess not sure it would be a popular decision though with fans but they probably have very little choice as things stand.

LagutaRacingFan 1,919 Posted December 17, 2017 I'd take Jack Holder even if Torun get priority for fixtures. A number 1 for 75% of our fixtures is better than no number 1 for 100% of our fixtures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poor team building yet again . 13 minutes ago, JeremyCorbynFan said: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LagutaRacingFan 1,919 Posted December 18, 2017 As long as Torun are happy to pay the BSPA fine and subsidise Ged for the lower crowd attendance, I don't see there being a problem. There's a deal to be made. Surely Torun understand that Holder can't just be a reserve, the boy needs to be riding regularly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted December 18, 2017 just like the last fraudulent deal , better ask Godfrey again . what a nugget . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gemini 4,894 Posted December 18, 2017 It's a funny old sport. On the one hand you have fans hoping for a bit of continuity and keeping riders from the previous year, how it used to be, but then you have others who aren't keen on old faces reappearing. Can't please everyone I suppose. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't please everyone I suppose. I have no problem with old riders returning , they are ok in there own right, the problem is we have not used the averages correctly to build the team , too many middle order riders and very little clout with heat leaders , and of the old riders returning , I can't see how they will improve at all from the averages they have already got 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
