He has that opportunity elsewhere if it's right for him at a club that may nurture him and not discard him mid season The average requirements may not be the same DC2 but your point is certainly a possibility Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His career will have benefited greatly from the input of Steady and the promoters stuck with him long after his average made him a points liability. He was simply a victim of the average points rules which surround speedway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,820 Posted October 23, 2019 4 hours ago, Col said: Because it's a ride in the top tier of British Speedway? Kemp is nowhere near top level standard. After watching him in 2018 i thought he would have already been. One of the most exciting young talents in a long time. Reality hit him big time. Even in the 3rd tier he went backwards a little. Struggled for an level of consistency in the 2nd tier and wasn’t surprised he was replaced when Sheffield tried to improve. like a lot of good 3rd tier riders this season they have found the step up to 2nd tier very hard, forcing some to drop out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They can then adapt to the trickier tracks during the season. If they then adapt well then a move the following season could be a possibility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was simply a victim of the average points rules which surround speedway. How could his average have been a points liability when he came in on a 2!! The fact it went immediately to nearly 5 just meant down to him Sheffield could effectively build the rest of the team to be 3 points over the limit Without him on a 2 the team overall wouldve been weaker and other riders brought in wouldn't have been accommodated. His 'reward' for those others still not being able to out strip his performances in the 1-5 despite them being at reserve was to be dropped instead of them Yes a victim of the points limit system but there were other choices and IMO he should remember that should Sheffield make him an offer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Says it all about today's speedway venues. Be much better if Tigers could reopen the back straight terrace at Owlerton. Will the first bend be available to standing spectators next season or will the rebuild mean it's behind glass only?
