I don't know enough about him to make a judgement.....would have to trust LR's selection skills and he's done a great job so far for 2020 THJ? Probably the most talented Swede since Lindgren & Lindback, but probably a little past his best now. Had a poor 2019 season. He was a GP rider 5ish years ago. Never really fully committed to Britain. If he has no Polish commitments & decides British Speedway for him in 2020 riding in both leagues he could be a revelation. I have my doubts. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With a 6.71 average it won’t be this season unless there are wholesale changes in the Team.(which Berwick always say they don’t do). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure, his final average attained with Wolves is 5.27, so depends what the conversation rate is. If it is *1.44 or lower then yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 849 Posted November 25, 2019 There isn't an obvious fit from the riders that attained CL averages in 2019. The ones that fit (7.3-7.59) such as NBJ, Summers, S Worrall, Heeps, Kerr & Howarth have all signed elsewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conversion rate is 1.6 so Becker would be 8.43. I also doubt he'd get a visa for both leagues as that was his issue last year 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
