These can be way different to how that rider is doing this season, so there is actually flexibility. It’s all very confusing. Yes rolling averages are the ones that count, which are listed on the BSPA website. So I’d assume it’s 0.16 on the rolling averages? Either way very little scope to improve. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poole came close to losing last night because yet again in the main they couldn't gate. The 20 point home win over BV proves they can be comfortable at home. However in the return Cup fixture at Foxhole next Thursday I fully expect the Witches to come out the winners. Happy to be proved wrong but we'll see. NB, perhaps some of the supposed confusion in some of the updates (although Poole twitter updates were spot on as he sits directly over the start/finish line!) were due to the difficulty in recognising which Ippo riders were which due to the confusing team kevlars - also not helped by the faded yellow helmet colours looking very similar to white!!!

These are not real figures but say Worrall has a rolling average of 6 but is actually averaging 5 this season. Then Nicholls has a rolling average of 6 but is actually averaging 8 this season. They could replace Worrall with Nicholls giving a positive impact of 3 points based on current form, so plenty of scope but not sure who would be available. They could replace two riders with rolling averages of 11 points combined but who are actually averaging 8 this season, with two who also have a rolling average of 11 and hope they ride to that, again a positive impact of 3 points. So, if I'm right, there is scope. Edited May 10, 2019 by SPEEDY69 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, if I'm right, there is scope. This is why I don’t like rolling averages as they give a completely outdated figure for what they are achieving currently. Some can be distorted beyond belief. The Nicholls one being a prime example. It’s hard for the average fan to even work out themselves! The only scope is signing a rider (like Nicholls) who is on a low rolling average but averaging higher on 2019 averages alone. And there aren’t many that fall into that category. Less scope than you think! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
