Redcar do have a good team and could win out but Poole always seem to find a way.

Hi there Lisa. You might or might now know that each season I produce My Top 2O Riders lists which are based on their most recent results. I have simply applied their previous season's efforts to see how they might continue into 2023. I know that some will improve but based on how they finished up my 2023 prediction is based on this. Regards BB

1-Poole 2-Glasgow 3-Oxford 4-Plymouth 5-Scunthorpe 6-Redcar 7-Birmingham- 8-Edinburgh 9-Berwick

1-Oxford 2-Leicester 3-Belle Vue 4-Kent 5-Workington 6-Berwick 7-Mildemhall 8-Edinburgh

All meaningful matches should be included in riders averages. What's the difference between a K/O Cup and a League Match? True averages would then apply and be the same for all.

Why can't last season's teams be used. It is after all last season's competition.

I said such older non developing riders should be allowed to ride and did not suggest that they should be prevented. I agree that such riders do provide help and guidance to the youngsters.

Neither

There are better riders in the BNL than the twins who are older and still improving. They should not be prevented from riding while they are so young, They need every opportunity to ride. After all they are still developing and it is a Development League. Having said this there are quite a lot of oldies who are obviously no longer developing but should not be deprived of their inclusion. Perhaps it would be better to drop the word developing and simply call it The British National or Conference League.

As it stands but with some teams still to complete it looks like Oxford are looking most likely to come out on top. They have 4 riders who are established front runners wheras such as Leicester who will certainly be up there again only have 2 but have perhaps riders who will improve. Will be interesting to see how things develop.

Is the reason for the meetings taking too long to run the number of restarts caused by accidents etc. Is Mildenhall a difficult track to race on for novice riders who quite often crash out and cause injury and fence repairs which cause delays.

Can riders take part in all 3 leagues?

But the fans voted him to be the most improved despite his average dropping.

Just read about all the improvements that are to be made. New track lighting being one of them. Been banging on about this for ever it seems. Swindon's track equipment has also been purchased.

This is my final list for the 2022 season which includes riders who were not riding at the end but did enough when they were to warrant inclusion. The only requirement is they must have ridden in at least 10 matches. 01 Ryan Douglas 02 Sam Masters 03 Ben Barker 04 Richard Lawson 05 Josh Pickering 06 Chris Harris 07 Scott Nicholls 08 Eric Riss 09 Steve Worrall 10 Richie Worrall 11 Craig Cook 12 Nick Morris 13 Tom Brennan 14 Danny King 15 Kyle Howarth 16 Troy Batchelor 17 Hans Andersen 18 Charles Wright 19 Benjamin Basso 20 Lewis Kerr

Here is my final list for 2022. This time I have included riders who may not have been riding at the end but did enough to warrant inclusion. To qualify such riders must have done 10 matches during the season. Most recent form is taken into account for all riders. 01 Jason Doyle 02 Tobias Musielak 03 Max Fricke 04 Brady Kurtz 05 Chris Harris 06 Jack Holder 07 Richard Lawson 08 Sam Masters 09 Matej Zagar 10 Nicolai Klindt 11 Adam Ellis 12 Luke Becker 13 Benjamin Basso 14 Nick Morris 15 Lewis Kerr 16 Ryan Douglas 17 Danny King 18 Michael Palm Toft 19 Steve Worrall 20 Eric Riss

I understand that the Leicester Supporters Club Members voted Connor Mountain to be their team's most improved rider despite his closing average being less than his starting average. 4 other riders did in fact improve with the most improver being Nick Morris who was my choice for the award.
