Honestly not sure about Kennett!
 

The rest look good so far though. The names being thrown about for 2/4 don’t inspire confidence in a team that will do well away from home but excited all the same :t:

Will he still qualify for a work permit?

Pretty sure he has a 2 year visa so should be no problem

I disagree with the majority here regarding Kennett and here's why.

He was rusty at the start of last season due to the 2020 season being cancelled like quite a few riders who didn't ride in Poland in 2020.

He also wasn't being paid for riding in 2021 so I doubt he was that committed knowing full well what the Jordan's were up to.

Eddie also rides Plymouth exceptionally well and home wins are key in this Sport. 

Not many teams will get anything at Plymouth next season if they get Barker in as well. 

2 track specialists with the vastly improving duo of Lawson and MPT is a sneakily good top 4 that will go under the radar imo

Fully agree, if Edward gets dialled into the Plymouth track, like the last time I saw him there, he will take some passing, I for one am very happy, he signed for next season, i am not a Barker fan, but like you say, he is definitely a Plymouth track specialist, and you can't argue with that, and I'm sure that will be on Garry and Mark Philip's team building thoughts, because winning your home meetings, must be the main priority surely.

I think Barker would be a decent signing on that average, especially how he goes at Plymouth. I'm not a fan per se but you can't deny he's box office at Plymouth.

Don't rate Keleher and thought he was actually quite poor other than a couple of home meetings. Sooner see Ruml back or look at another younger Brit.

I'm guessing Cook will end up at Poole with his brother.

So with Atkins and Bowtell also signed who else can fit into 42 points?

Team average, for 2021, including RS rating was 41. (39 + 2 or 38 + 3)

Just read on Leicester thread but only confirmed by an e-mail & not on the Leicester website that team building is to a 42 point limit.

Why would Plymouth sign Palm Toft? He is not a gater and if you miss the gate at Plymouth you are more or less stuffed.

To give them maybe more of a balance on away tracks? 

Tracks like Lakeside, Rye House and Eastbourne often seemed to overkill the home small track specialists to the detriment of their away results..

One thing for sure with MPT is that you will get 100%, so any gap, however tiny, will have his bike aimed at it, which will be fun to watch on a tight circuit..
