ruckerroo 790 Posted July 28, 2019 I feel sorry for atkins, this ridiculous points limit has to led to lads beings slung in the deep end very early in their careers, most of them after about 18 months in the nl, its a bridge too far for so many. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tosh1218 579 Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) What's Atkins average ,so him earlier in the season and looked decent .As it stands I don't think anyone can look back at how teams were set up and say hitch is right or wrong . Sheffield built there side with Drew Kemp one match away from doubling his average in the championship and was going to be there trump card but that hasn't happened . The heat format has to change and I believe young reserves should be protected and race against each other in 3 races of reserves Edited July 28, 2019 by Tosh1218 Mispelt 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Cheese 2,020 Posted July 28, 2019 Not sure what the options are but being forced into making changes I'd be tempted to move Kurtz on as well, still only leaves about 13 though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t think people realise how hard Riding in 2 leagues can be time wise it’s more than a full time job and the amount of time spent in the garage on the road travelling time off work just leads to a lot of pressure and little reward think he also does grasstrack as well good luck to the lad 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Somerset's top 5 led to the 2 young lads being thrown at reserve. Blame the management. They built the team that way. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn’t help when the team building average is capped ridiculously low at 38 points 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
