King still rode in most Heats 13 and 15. I might take look at other riders ... be interesting to see how much difference there is in their own averages, in comparison to King. At a guess, P'boro, despite being champs will have very strange figures - not sure how many times one of their reserves appeared in Heat 15! EDIT: Just had a look - I'm not sure that P'boro used a reserve in Heat 15 at home - the team management was shrewd enough to utilise the in-form reserve in the heats, where they were most likely to have an impact, e.g. 8, 12 & 14. Haven't looked at away matches yet. Edited January 10, 2022 by Roger Jacobs Updated info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't looked at away matches yet. Bjarne Pedersen was used in heat 15 of the Grand Final at Peterborough for sentiment reasons only , Hans Andersen & Ulrich Ostergaard had one heat 15 outing each whilst at reserve in the league matches i believe , none away as far as i can see as you say Rob Lyon used the reserves away to great effect before ht15 came around 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted January 12, 2022 .I tell ya what,,, with Belle Vue struggling to find decent riders and most of the other teams known,,, we suddenly don't look so bad, even under the limit as we are. Only Sheffield look stronger to me,,, but even they have up and down riders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,247 Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) https://ipswichwitches.co/tru-mix-to-sponsor-ipswich-in-2022/ Guy Nicholls continuing to pump his money in. Interesting interview, even though I don’t agree with him on parts of it. “I think it is our turn to win something. Dare I say it, but it is important to me personally as I’ve been going for years but as a business we don’t come second, we dominate every market we are in”. Ouch. Well building a team a couple of points below the available limit certainly isn’t going to help your chances Edited January 19, 2022 by Arch Stanton 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So many variables, e.g. availability, desire to ride in GB, and, of course, budget. Edited January 19, 2022 by Roger Jacobs 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
