I cant see how danyon will be still a rs with his,average It’s obvious they never thought about averages when discussing Rising Stars. Flint and Hume are not even 4* ,so do they move up this season.Wait with baited breath to see what they dream up Edited November 5, 2021 by Fromafar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about putting Stefan into Rory's space and keeping everyone else, well prob have to jingle rider order a bit. But if you want to keep Danny and Stevie, will have to get a weaker 3rd HL. Edit - still might be too high! lol Edited November 5, 2021 by lisa-colette Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted November 5, 2021 Not sure replacing Zack Cook with Rory and keep the rest would work. The trouble is we have to be weaker, yet there isn’t one of the riders I would happy to see the back of. All of them deserve a place in the team. Danhon? Yes absolutely. Stefan? Yes! Ben B? Of course! I think Steve and Danny are nailed on. I would be surprised if the Cook brothers are overlooked. 1. Steve Worrall 2. Ben Cook. 3. Danny King 4. Zack Cook 5. Ben Basso (subject to availability) 6. Danyon Hume 7. Stefan Neilsen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daz9100 270 Posted November 5, 2021 As much as we would love to have Basso back, I think Wednesday night racing is going to be an issue for him, will be too many clashes with Denmark. Reckon the Cook brothers are a definite though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,028 Posted November 5, 2021 Also a few people talking about having 2 rising stars next year in the Championship. If Hume has now been 'upgraded' then would have to 'let go' of two from this year from just that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ray c 2,299 Posted November 5, 2021 Don't forget there is talk cutting averages down even further if that's the case this league will be a poor place for us to be. who knows ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The difficult bit is making it a system that works, is fair and helps develop young riders. So stand by for a botch job full of contradictions and compromises 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It depends what they finally decide at the AGM re. Rising Stars and points limits?! I know what has been discussed but there is still the issue of how many teams will be running - and in which league?! I think there could be a new young Aussie (although 2022 may be too soon?) to go with the Cook Brothers. Following the article in Speedway Star I can't see Basso being allowed back as Denmark are planning a full Danish league fixture list in 2022 rather than the shortened version this season. Despite how much Basso has been a revelation and has clearly enjoyed himself over here, he won't want or be allowed to p!$$ off his Danish Federation. Poole's finishing team average totals around 41.60 (thats excluding Danyon Hume) so even with the 2.5% discount for British riders to be taken into account there will need to be some changes!

How about young 19 year old Dan Gilkes who won't have Kent in 2022 and to my knowledge not signed elsewhere and was a 1 star Rising Star. Finished with a NL GSA of 10.24 up from a starting 8. Best GSA in the NL. If he was given the same rising star av that would we hope leave plenty of points further up. Also not 20 until next May plus only ridden 2 seasons as lost 2020 like the rest due to Covid lockdowns. Could be a potential Brennan/Flint/Palin maybe ?? riding on a 1 star (point av ??). Factor in he is a Dorset born lad. Would help if we knew the new points limit and situ on rising stars and if one or two will be required under any new rules.
