Whats the average times around Berwick ?,,, a see Luke Ruddick won a race in 69 seconds.

Heat 2 on Saturday was 67.3. But heat 14 was only 68.9 (just as a rough guide).

Lasse and Ben Barker have both been replaced at Peterborough. By Scott Nicholls and Josh Bates.

Well, in that case, Lasse shall maybe have to earn more money doing his other job.

Depends on what guarantee he's on, if any.

I don't agree, nor would folk at Leicester.    Your complaint about 38-point limit is based on under-performing riders, not the limit.

Just going to copy and paste my ideas from the other thread here so they don't get too lost on the Newcastle Vs Leicester thread... Still think these are our best and most likely only options

1. Steve Worrall 8.04

2. Dimitri Berge 5.03

3. Matej Kus 5.63

4. Matthew Wethers 5.96

5. Thomas Jorgensen 7.92

6. Max Clegg 4.00

7. Danny Phillips 2.00

Total: 37.95

 

1. Steve Worrall 8.04

2. Matthew Wethers 5.96

3. Kyle Newman 5.71 (Edit: Kus then?)

4. Mark Riss/Tobias Busch 4.84/4.97

5. Thomas Jorgensen 7.92

6. Max Clegg 4.00

7. Danny Phillips 2.00

Total: 37.84/37.97

 

1. Steve Worrall 8.04

2. Max Clegg 4.00

3. Tero Aarnio (Poland?) 6.83

4. Matthew Wethers 5.96

5. Thomas Jorgensen 7.92

6. Danyon Hume 3.79 (Or one of the 4.00 Aussies)

7. Danny Phillips 2.00

Total: 37.91

Edit: Just seen we are too late again to sign Kyle Newman... Oh well :rolleyes: We'll just sit and watch everyone else be ambitious instead

Yes it is. Oh for the days of Ian Thomas. He must be spinning in his grave. RIP Ian.

Hello. At least  kus can/ could win a race. Don't know why we did not try to sign either of your other suggested riders either Riss or Berge. Not sure of their availability.

Couldn't agree more an absurd decision when a meeting has up to 42 points at heat 14.

Erm ... what did you expect! Most threads mentioning team changes are saying " now we are over the 38 point limit .........". It was always going to happen as averages are based over 7 riders having 4 rides each, riding in pairs equalling 14 heats at 42 points.

I just cannot fathom out why we have team declarations of 36, 38 & 42.5 in our 3 leagues. :nono:

Kus is a good rider on a bargain average... Bjerre is a good rider going through a rough patch... Just dropped by Peterborough, can he even afford the uk now? I'm a big fan, but he is clearly injured and rides on a lawnmower... And sometimes I think he's just relieved to get round Brough park, never mind win there... It's a real shame
