Bagpuss 10,687 Posted January 5, 2020 I think Kasper will turn out to be a half decent rider, he just couldn’t ride our mega grippy track. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really, he could quite easily win something with Redcar this year and with Lynn in the future as a number seven. You should try posting something positive for a change, would do you the world of good I’m sure. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also live in the real world , and can’t see Kasper Anderson ever being as good as people like Doyle or Fricke, they are decent riders not half decent.

tellboy 3,653 Posted January 5, 2020 No team will ever have a 1-7 full of decent riders.You will have some half decent and some not as good as that.Thats the way the team average dictates.Imo Kasper will be half decent.He done ok with Redcar and wasn't too bad away from the NA with Lynn. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If NA is less grippy, he could score some useful points 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely, he is highly unlikely to get to their level but as tellboy says you can’t build a team full of superstars. Half decent riders are equally important. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riders that can hold or increase their average could win you things. Whatever their average is.. Out of the Prem riders in 2020, who do you rate as "decent"?

A decent reserve may not even be a half decent rider, if Doyle and Fricke are the yardstick but could win you a trophy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree. Any rider that can maintain his average or increase it can't be a bad rider, so must be decent, at any level.. ??

It's Brian O'Bongo actually and he could do a cracking job but will need decent machinery which has been his achilles heel so far, On a decent motor he could easily be the best ever newbie to the UK leagues.
