It could be termed as making an investment for the next season by deliberately riding to lower their average as long as they have enough in reserve to sustain this. It could be something like not updating equipment until the following year and then a bumper year ahead with new bikes . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Harris didn't exactly win all his races last season so it's not that easy. I don't take any interest in statistics though so I don't know what his final average was.

I agree that he hardly set the woods on fire but the point is if they used current BPL averages he would have to be given a 10.00 to ride in the BCL 2018.

Given the choice he would be the first name on the team sheet for me, utter box office, a class act and an out and out racer and a bloody nice chap to boot. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If those Muppets had not brought in such a stupid, unfair rule in the first place, they would not be facing another overrule (if it does get overruled) by the SCB.

Bagpuss 10,683 Posted February 15, 2018 I can see the sense behind the rule but to implement it in such a way that it excludes two Brits from extra racing in the UK that they need and to deprive second division fans from seeing them was awful decision making. Anyway hopefully we'll get an update soon so that the poor little obsessed jenga can get a sound nights sleep and not have to worry any more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
