I'd guess that Dan becomes a 3* and Joe a 2* , ( but that's assuming the rules evolve gradually, they could easily change completely.) This year the cut off was 3.50 Leon Flint was just below 3.5 = 3* Kyle Bickley was just above 3.5 = 4* Both Thompson's are above 3.5, which is 4* Under this years rules can only be classed as a RS for Prem not Champ! Rules could be changed - just need to wait & see! Edited November 8, 2021 by szkocjasid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lbw 869 Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Lions 2019 Championship Shield Winners Championship League Winners Pirates 2021 Championship KO Cup Winners Championship League Winners I regularly attend both tracks, as well others, with Leicester being my nearest and I support Poole. The amount of success that both club's av achieved with both doing the double, either side of lockdown, is a remarkable achievement. In fact Lions cud've done the treble if it wasn't for avin to track an under strength side at Eastbourne in the KO Cup. I'd like to wish all at both clubs continued success, but don't mention the Scottish club! .....was a fine ride by Ellis Perks!

Teromaafan 586 Posted November 8, 2021 We are in search of 1 maybe 2 heat leaders and are being told that some former riders will return. No one has mentioned Eric Riss? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His average is higher than Dan Thompson's which would move Dan back to a reserve berth, which is his comfort zone. This of course assumes that none of the remaining riders have a lower average than Mountain (hope not!) unless we go top heavy again. All down to team building points limit, which of course remains a secret. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
False dawn 2,294 Posted November 9, 2021 "The club have informed Hans Andersen, Zaine Kennedy and Ryan Douglas that they are not part of next year’s plans." I guess Dougie is moving onwards and upwards. Hans may have been too expensive and Zaine may just not fit with Connor Mountain already having been signed and the twins almost certainly remaining. I thought Zaine did a good job especially joining mid season when expectations were high. Hans was solid. The biggest disappointment is Dougie. He could be a bit and down, but was exciting to watch. I, for one, will miss him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
