As there is not enough British riders on the average you have available. Think you may have to run with a few points spare. Connor Mountain? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite right! - so imagine my amusement at others on various other threads, hoping and praying that Bradford, Oxford, Swindon and Somerset join the league next year. Guests, double-ups, triple-ups and who knows what tricks will need to be performed to fill another 28 "Sits Vacant". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It could be BWD, who is delaying making a choice of clubs, probably hoping that he can get a better deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HGould 2,213 Posted March 8, 2021 Connor Mountain would be a good shout. What about Zack Wajneckht would he fit in and midweek Home Team surely ideal for him? Luke Becker, as a Hancock protege will already be riding in Poland and Sweden surely and as he's at the dog-heads that will be his quota? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Presumably unsuccessfully? That would have been a really interesting signing and I would have loved to have seen Martin at Brough Park, wonder what his average would have been...

Dandelion 775 Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) I think his last season in uk was 2013? Where he achieved an average of 7.56. Multiply that by 1.5 to get his championship average and he would have a 11.34 average... Quite the average there like. I suppose something like this would have been on the cards then? Martin Smolinski 11.34 Ashey Morris 5.32 James Shanes 5.18 Paco Castagna 4.93 Chris Harris 8.48 Tom Perry 3.38 Jack Thomas ** Total: 38.63 Back to the drawing boards... Looks like it would have been a decent team that. Or maybe even Ryan Kinsley, JPB if he making a return, or Georgie Wood if he still rides, instead of Tom Perry. Hmmm Edited March 10, 2021 by Dandelion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm The problem being that even an applied Smolinski who would likely be the highest rated rider in the CL would still struggle to maintain a huge average. On that basis why break the bank to sign a rider just to use up available points? I suspect that number of leagues prohibits Rasser Jensen but maybe Hans Andersen is worth a punt? Plenty of other veterens are viewing doubling up in the UK as the way forward, would have kit here anyway and just has class. Hans and Connor Mountain would be a great finish to the team. BTW pretty sure Tom Perry has hung his kevlars up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
