Lasse Bjerre and Ben Barker should be on their 2017 Premiership averages as it's the highest official average they have. Lasse Bjerre 6.10 - Ben Barker 5.85 Quiet Daniel, 4.72 and 4.58 is much better Edited December 17, 2018 by BluPanther 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,632 Posted December 17, 2018 Lets not forget that these are just announcements at this stage. Nothing is certain until every team and its averages is ratified by the BSPA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BluTiger 21,661 Posted December 17, 2018 So 5.37 left and MPT is 5.36 ..... Fits like a glove, but would be happy with BWD ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lasse Bjerre 6.10 - Ben Barker 5.85 The most recently established MA is used, unless a rider has an average from both leagues in the same season when the appropriate average applies.

(Art 16.2.7) But it’s plain stupid to say that a PL to CL conversion rate of 1.5 will be applied to PL riders to discourage them from doubling up in the CL and yet allow the rate in reverse to allow CL riders who have had experience in the PL be brought back into the PL on lower averages. So a 2018 PL reserve like Wajtknecht, who is doing his best to progress, now has to face CL heat leaders riding at reserve for another team. That can’t be right. Rasmus Jensen is anotherer example. He has a CL average of 6.59 (compared to Wajtknecht’s CL average of 5.19) but could come in to a PL reserve berth on a paltry 4.39 (compared to Wajtknecht’s genuine PL average of 4.37). How is that fair to 2018 PL riders? Just wrong. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LagutaRacingFan 1,928 Posted December 17, 2018 What a side. I have a job interview on Thursday for a position in Lynch Wood, near the Showground. Wish me luck guys. If I'm successful, I will then buy a season ticket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How is that fair to 2018 PL riders? Just wrong. Unfair but one has to take into a/c that Zach has ridden in Prem for 2 seasons where Jensen has never ridden. Zach therefore has established 20 match rolling GSA av in Prem. Jensen is perhaps an extreme example and when you look at all his results for Workington in OCT (of which quite a few) you would think you are comparing a HL in Champ compered to a reserve in what may well be Poole's Prem side. Perhaps that and Klindt pestering Ford to look closer at him is part of the reason he may well turn out for Poole. BUT then again it could go wrong. Remember Spaniak last season. I take the point though that a young British rider learning his trade is somewhat disadvantaged by the rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would Starke be 5 (his 2017 PL average) or 3.92 (his 2018 CL average converted back on 1.5)? Was a full list of averages supplied to all promoters before riders were signed?
