It would be odd for them to completely discount those scores given he did actually score them so it demonstrates his ability so should be used for averages no? Glasgow should be lobbying for whatever way benefits them obviously! His starting average was 5.9. in his matches with Glasgow I honestly don't think he'll have improved on that, which is an absolute steal if works out that way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No idea, but given how good he was this year, he deserves the chance to find out. He was exceptional, and that was especially useful with Craig being a bit up and down. Of the current team, I’d want to see. Cook, Nicol, Brennan and Bailey back. With Ulrich at 5, I’d be happy with Ricky at 3. No idea if averages would allow all those though. Leaves one reserve spot to fill, depending on the maths. All the green sheet averages are on the GB speedway website so you can work out the maths albeit I don't know if they have announced the points limit or the status of the rising star.

Yes I know but others have said Eastbourne's scores will be removed hence my original question, as his Eastbourne scores were generally higher than at Glasgow his average may be liable to be reduced Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cheggie 72 Posted November 8, 2021 I wouldn't mind something along the lines of this for a starter for 10... Cook 8.69* Nicol 5.5 Brennan 6.32* Jensen 5.8 Ostergaard 7.96 A lot of potential in Tom, where next year in a settled team - he could really kick on and improve immensely. In terms of both Broc and Sam, thinking similar to Tom - both should push their averages towards 6.5/7. Just purely speculation and some fun at this stage in the season, with a lot still to be decided. *assumes 2.5% British reduction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weeyin 1,020 Posted November 8, 2021 I would have Cook 8.69 Ulrich 7.96 Tom 6.32 Broc 5.50 Basso 5.0 Heeps 4.95 And Connor, don't know what his average is and if rising star is still an issue. Obviously we don't know what points limit is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaizer 2,856 Posted November 8, 2021 Guess we might have an idea what promoters are working to when Plymouth announce heat leaders tonight. Since already signed 3 riders up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCookie 753 Posted November 8, 2021 It could all be nothing, but Tobiasz Musielak has replied to a comment about Glasgow potentially hosting the 2022 GP Challenge with the following: "A baza w Anglii będzie …. :))" Roughly translated: "and my base in England will be..." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
