I make it 42.62 would be a good team tho Sorry hadn’t reduced Wright’s average by the 2.5% which now adds up to 42.49 so yes you’re right in saying it’s just under. It would mean Wright would start at reserve and we would always have a strong reserve no matter who dropped down, definitely the best team I’ve seen so far. We will just have to wait and see.

We keep five riders from last years team 2. The two new riders have plenty of potential to increase their starting average 3. The other five riders could and should improve on their starting average 4. NKI, Wright and Riss are all capable of upping their average by a whole point each No doubt I’ve made a mistake on somebody’s average and this team won’t fit but you never know! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreeing to let Poole use an illegal rider in the second leg was a terrible decision, Using a guest at home, rather then having our own riders on R/R, who were all on song hurt us big time. That heat 12 decision was likes a Ref scoring a hattrick at Wembley, yet our TM excepted it as a bad call, as if it was nothing. Had that been the other way round, Middlo would have done his nut...… What about Neil's saying he wanted to ride in the second leg, only to be told we have a guest booked...…. Need I go on....

I just can’t see how proctor and Jorgensen will improve there average we would of been better getting one of either cook or iversen in to back up lambert and ano Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There will never be a better opportunity to achieve that goal then we had last season, and we messed up big time. I am in no doubt we will be back to normality in 2019, when we will again be submerged in the also rans. I know the team has yet to be announced but you don't need to be Einstein to remember the poor quality we have had in the past.... There have been some quality riders signing for new teams, What a show of intention it would have been to have acquired Craig Cooke to ride for the stars, instead of which he sign for our closest competitor . Unlike others, I don't brush the debris under the carpet... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
