Tom bacon as retired 

Thanks for that wasnt aware

 Final squad from me on this

 

Auty 7.16

Bates 6.20

Sedgman 5.59

Castagna 5.52

Covatti 7.57

Morris 4.68

Shanes 4.87 = 41.59

 

On the premise that the reserves will be stronger to share the workload.

 

Obviously depends on the averages, could be scope for a lasse bjerre or possibly vissing with a bit of juggling

 

Really interestd ti see what the promotion can pull out the bag for line up

Where has it been stated that Covatti is considering UK racing again?

Im not sure, it probably hasnt. Its just speculation seeing as he isnt signed up anywhere and Birmingham are his parent club

 

Is there a list of riders who have stated they intend to seek out a uk club. Doubt there is so just trying to fill in a few blanks

Hi mate I am pretty sure Nico Covatti is no longer a Brummies asset im afraid , When the club folded mid way through the 2014 season our asset base was taken by the bspa I think .

I'm not sure I'd take Bates on a 4 point average let alone a 6.20. Had too many nasty injuries and missed to much track time for me.

Thanks for the info. Hes a great rider for championship level. Hope you guys get fixed up.

 

Do you guys have any assets, any riders you can bring in with a bit of parent privilege

I tend yo agree pal, he seems to crash a lot. Seems a bit reckless to me

Just looks like he could be a strong possibility given thats hes british and has the average to be classed as a 2nd string

Are The Brummies a new company If so can they get a sponsors licence for overseas riders ?, If not then there options may be even more limited.

I'd be happy to give Roynon a chance on a 5ish average. A good gater which is a bonus for a second string or reserve because they get the inside gates and once ahead has speed and good track craft. I know he's had injuries but a lot of them haven't been his fault, he's just been in the wrong place at the wrong time, whereas Bates seems to create his own issues.

Will be a great signing Covatti but need another big name for number one. 
 

I didn’t want them but Morris and shanes at 6 and 7 think everyone takes that

4 riders left. I'm really struggling to think of 4.

2 maybe and they would only be 2nd strings at best.
