Averages should start the season based on the average over two seasons, so let's say Danny King for example 2017 averaged 7 2018 averaged 6 He starts 2019 with an average of 6.5 and has that average for the full season. If he ends the 2019 season with an average of 9 He starts 2020 with an average of 7.5 and keeps that average for a full season. At any point if Ipswich want to replace king during the 2019 season they'd have only 6.5 to play with irrelevant to what he is actually achieving so if he's averaging 9 then they wont replace him with a 6.5 however if he's averaging 4 then you'd replace him with a 6.5 option. This allows riders to do well and score big I.e. above their average then they are less likely to be replaced Falcon 1983 I've suggested for years that if there is to be a team building average it should be the final total of the league champions and that way a winning team can be kept together and the other tams have to play catch-up rather than the league being diluted down as it is these days. OK Promoters argue it's all about costs but having a weakened product is more likely to make fans stay away and heaven knows there are enough other ways to spend hard earned cash on rather than 15 minutes of racing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably be nobody has backed down, Cook will probably ride in his Glasgow suit with a Stars race jacket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted May 28, 2019 Now I could well be wrong but didn't Cook's sponsor not pull out after the Peterborough debacle? If so he would hardly have their name on a new race suit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kickitov 104 Posted May 28, 2019 Cook must be coming in on his Premiership average from last season of 7.73. Replacing Riss (5.83) it only leaves 3.30 points for the final place which explains why Simon Lambert is back. Otherwise surely there would be better options at No7. Nothing against Lambert, he seems like a really nice lad who gives 110% but unfortunately he's a weak link just like Andersen has been. Hopefully Riss will come back and we can review the No7 position going forward. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree,but unsure on what Cook has come in at the moment.His average from last season though must qualify from the 2.5% reduction which would give an average of 7.54. I assumed Cook was going to come in for Proctor and probably another decent reserve on par with the likes of Toft.But with Riss getting injured Lynn decided to replace him until he is fit.Maybe they couldn't fit in a reserve they probably wanted as they now have 0.46 less to play with by replacing Riss instead of Proctor.But when Riss is fit and and you would hope re-introduced for Proctor then we would have that 0.46 back.

It will be his converted 2019 CL average, there’s no 2.5% reduction mid-season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just seen the new GSA's on the Championship,still 7.19 average for a rider the calibre of Cook is excellent value i think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
