Bradford Ace 183 Posted November 22, 2019 Wouldn’t touch him personally - a slightly better Berge for me. A typical 3, 0, 0, 0, 0 type of rider. Pretty sure he did that when he guested for us the other year. Looked a million dollars in his first race and then disappeared for the rest of the evening. No thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coldace 110 Posted November 22, 2019 I think the absence of a big hitter at number 1 is risky and can see us losing matches because of Ht's 13 and 15. Is it definitely the case that Fricke and Bjerre are giving the UK a miss in 2020? On the options listed by Phil, I'd try for Tungate rather than an aging Hans Andersen. Watching Rohan work his way to the front was enjoyable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woodenspoon 157 Posted November 22, 2019 You are right coldace', heat 15 can often make the difference between winning a meeting or getting the away bonus point. I do not see any team getting near Swindon's top two pairing, with a combined average of 17.78. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He should be able to get around Peterborough, Swindon, King's Lynn and Sheffield. But who knows. I'd rather have Rohan Tungate but maybe too high an average. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunner85 603 Posted November 22, 2019 The present format favours a good top two. Now Swindon have Doyle and Batchelor.... and as in 2020 you can keep your 7 riders for 2021 ,then Swindon can sign young upcoming riders and ensure they have a strong side for many years to come 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus we all know that the chances of a new regulation lasting more than a season is often slim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it is brought in IMO it should only be if you end the season with the 7 you start with. Any changes and it should be void 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,661 Posted November 22, 2019 I don't think you'll need to worry much about Kurtz being a No1, especially around the NSS. He'll up his Poole game there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acef 795 Posted November 23, 2019 16 hours ago, Phil The Ace said: Kurtz is yeah. But at the moment as no1. We him to back someone up. Not someone back him up. Could be a loooooong season Kurtz will be no problem as a number 1 for BV. I think Poole has slowed him down. Getting a number 1 and 2nd HL will be tough for the entire league this season. I can see Jack Holder coming as well. Not a clue if it fits but Kurtz Lidsey Wright Bewley Holder Sedgman Ayres Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B.V 72 1,054 Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) Inc minus 2.5% for British riders i think my maths are right ? Kurtz 7.54 Wright or Worrall 6.52 or 5.54 Tungate 6.59 Bewley 6.16 Holder 7.49 Lidsey 5.16 leaving 3.02 or 4.04 depending who is at number 2 Good solid team and not to pie in the sky.Tungate/Bewley and Worrall all dropped their averages last year so all are capable of improving and Lidsey should keep on improving next season plus one good reserve all the time.
