Been around for ten plus years and still cant average 4 in the CL. Another Barrie Evans / Lee Herne / Martin Williams type rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To add to that Ben has ridden Championship away tracks fairly regularly for the last couple of years whereas Ledwith hasn’t at all for 20 years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markm 8 Posted December 25, 2019 Most of the time Ben has been at number 2 in the championship not at reserve and was getting good points at most track. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If common sense prevailed tom would be allowed to ride nl, i think it was his first match with the new cma moving from reserve when he had his awful crash. Its bad enough him having to ride in championship on 6+ with zero chance of his average settling down over a prolonged period Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are talking about a different league though aren't you? Morley ( who i like has not got a champs spot like Hume who is a better rider than Ben the sport is all about figures averages fitting.

Mike0310 658 Posted December 25, 2019 How the hell Hume has not got a premier league ride next season is beyond me a class bloke on the bike and a class act off it also.ridiculous in my opinion. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,686 Posted December 26, 2019 I don’t think Morley will ever get any better but would have been a better option than Ledwith at Kent, who I assume has been signed at a sponsors request. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waco 1,026 Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) I think you may be right Bagpus i can not think of any other reason for signing Ledwith.... And for Pinnys information,, Morley had a plus 5 average when at Lakeside and last season had to ride at no 2 at Eastbourne ,not reserve , and not one of his best tracks....
