Early days i know but the current 20 fast track riders attached to a team averages are as below. Due to the limited number of guest rides by non-attached and indeed attached riders there's no point listing them initially. They are current up to and including Monday 21st April and for accuracy i compiled them using the Speedway Star match reports. I've had to put the averages first in order to add some semblance of neatness as there doesn't seem to be a 'table' feature in the forum code? I'll have a more detailed look next time i update them, i've displayed tables and shown others how to do that in the updates forum before, but my memory not kicking in right now lol. The number in brackets is the rank of the rider in the draft. After the team name comes matches-rides-points-bonus points-total points. 9.20 Kyle Newman (3) Poole 2 10 21 2 23 8.55 Lewis Kerr (1) King's Lynn 5 22 43 4 47 7.79 Lewis Blackbird (4) Eastbourne 4 19 33 4 37 6.70 Adam Ellis (7) Lakeside 8 37 54 8 62 6.10 James Sarjeant (19) Coventry 6 21 24 8 32 6.00 Steve Worrall (13) Swindon 3 14 19 2 21 5.92 Jason Garrity (2) Coventry 6 25 33 4 37 5.78 Lewis Rose (26) King's Lynn 5 18 20 6 26 5.67 Paul Starke (9) Birmingham 3 12 15 2 17 5.60 Stefan Nielsen (5) Belle Vue 5 20 25 3 28 5.50 Ashley Morris (8) Wolverhampton 4 16 19 3 22 5.45 Tom Perry (11) Leicester 7 33 36 9 45 5.45 Joe Jacobs (10) Wolverhampton 3 11 13 2 15 5.24 Ben Morley (21) Lakeside 8 29 32 6 38 4.70 Daniel Halsey (18) Eastbourne 6 23 22 5 27 3.43 Simon Lambert (12) Birmingham 5 21 15 3 18 3.00 Max Clegg (27) Leicester 7 24 14 4 18 2.80 Dan Greenwood (29) Swindon 3 10 5 2 7 2.75 Ben Reade (16) Belle Vue 4 16 9 2 11 2.15 Lee Smart (14) Poole 4 13 6 1 7

1. I could be wrong on this as i've got a poor memory lol, but didn't the Speedway Star always include (G) next to a guest rider's appearance in their match reports? I feel it is something that is very much needed. If it has been removed after previously being included i'd be very interested indeed as to for what reason. Admittedly i spend my time reading up on several sports and keep myself busy with lots of other things so i for one certainly can't memorize every rider in every team when reading through the weekly match reports section. It's harder at the start of the season too with riders having moved around and anyone new to the sport doesn't stand a chance. Also it should be highlighted when on multiple occasions teams have nearly half their line-up (3 riders) all guests. 2. On to a second complaint, where oh where are the team averages! Surely they should be being published by now??? I do hope their omission is not tied to this weird BSPA thing about 'hiding' fast track riders averages? One of the best features in the Speedway Star is that you can see every team's rider averages in a single issue, every rider in the leagues. I know there is pressure for space but for decades we have had access to this basic information. It leaves speedway fans with no access as to how all their teams riders are performing in this sporting season. The only official ones published don't take into account bonus points and have little bits of regulations modifying them. The rolling averages are of no use in discerning a riders form over the full current season. The official ones are intended for team building purposes and don't reflect basic sporting performance over the full current season which all other sports and it's publications provide stats for . At the moment it's a case of if we were a football fan we'd have no access to a list of this seasons goalscorers for a team (only a top section). The rolling averages in the early parts of the season would equate to how many goals a player had scored at the backend of the previous season added to those at the start of this season. That then would change into how many over a specified number of matches whilst subtracting goals scored outside of the specific timeline. What a farce that would be, what a farce we presently have in speedway. If they do reappear soon but follow the BSPA site's listings and exclude fast track riders from them it will be a farce. it would be strange if the races they are involved in were were to be treated as not having taken place for them, yet the other riders in the race who aren't fast track have the race included in their averages! Or would they be ignoring any race with a FT rider in, which i doubt. It's a bit of a mess the way it stands. The race either counts or it doesn't, it shouldn't count for some and not others in a race. It seems silly to make the data for FT riders not for public consumption! by publishing team averages with their averages excluded on the BSPA site. As touched upon earlier i steer clear of technical team building averages with their percentages added or deducted and/or rolling averages. Certainly for SPORTING PERFORMANCE indicators bonus points must be included. One can't deny that in the vast majority of races team mates don't race each other when they are placed next to one another, which is indeed why riders get PAID for not doing so with bonus points. I certainly give thanks and credit to Speedway Star for adhering to this age old tradition of publishing them as they always have been, when/if they list each teams average in their magazine. For those who want to know the team building averages and ranking of draft riders which change monthly they are of course available on the BSPA site. But what isn't available is the current season's sporting performance barometer of averages for each rider for their respective team, including bonus points for reasons stated. Hopefully when the Speedway Star publish their first weekly team averages of the season they will include Fast Track riders averages? I'm awaiting that with interest and hope they do.

Only just seen this and it is WRONG. No misinformation. Have you any idea how much your threads have been altered by the mod? possibly pretty pointless you searching now. This has been going on for months across the forum , are you only referring to the most recent incident here? Ok rather than go into it all here i suggest you PM me and i'll give you the details, screenshots, saved html pages. Nothing against Ghostwalkers link, i only pointed out that my link HAD been removed and his had NOT. Either here or via PM can you give an explanation as to why my racecard links ARE bizarrely being removed by a mod trawling back through historical threads - and Ghostwalkers and others are NOT? Why did the same mod remove two posts either side of my racecard link that highly praised it and leave in place in the same location abusive posts 100% attacking the poster, 100% off-topic? Why did the same mod leave racecard links in place for other racecards? The Swedish and other international threads have been fine for years, including with the 5 lines of text notifying of a racecard. The rest of the thread has always been of speedway. It is only since a particular mod has started seeking and removing my racecard links that there has had to be posts made regarding it.

Lol does such a time exist? I'll be out on the town Friday night and will only be getting home around 5am. Thanks for not much in this instance Eurosport. No way can i avoid the result either for that many days.

I'm sure his girlfriend calls him 'sweet chucky egg' but he won't be riding under that name either lol. Birmingham team for tonight seems to be something even Wikileaks can't crack.

Second all that enjoy your sun mate.

Oh yeah that's true..i multitasking at the moment.

How many consecutive days has Iversen been racing now? only he having a stinker so far

Google searches for any form of software can be lethal especially the ones near the top! Nice race there and hopefully this week when i say it his appearance does transpire...Brummie fans will be looking forward to Zmarzlik riding tomorrow.

Is there any particular reason you don't use Sopcast it's a lot safer than most of the website streams

Sportowefakty and TV showing Sundstrom Touch wood not jinxing it but stream been faultless and high quality......Sopcast that is mind, or are you referring to internet stream?

My computers going to be working overtime as the next match clashes with Nascar, the latter for which i have lots of windows open for the telemetry, driver scanners and all sorts of things lol. So i'm off to set up my audio mixer to be able to listen to the speedway, nascar tv commentary and drivers and officials etc etc. Once i've sorted out spaghetti junction i should be back just in time for the start of the speedway Derby. Anyone who missed the news earlier Kasprzak and Hampel are confirmed as riding OUCH just gone to Sportowefakty and they've had a very late reshuffle of their riding order...off to amend racecard lol.

When you are next on your world travels don't set foot in Denmark cos those chunkers are surely going to clock you one.

A lot of the UK ones are members of the 'Nora Batty School Of Modelling' Told you it would be a last heat decider lol. Emil no race wins today.

You mean the costly excess baggage charges lol lol.

Another great race, just how did Czestochowa get into financial trouble with racing like this and a good crowd watching it. Did they lose a major sponsor or something?

Thank you. I'd wager he'd score more than 4 points a match in the EL. Plus i dare say his average is rising and could well end up over 6 so somebody needs to grab him now. Then again could he handle the quirky UK tracks?

Can passenger Jensen please alight as Czestochowa can't afford to carry any today. Then again in a monetary sense he's saving them money. Impressed with the speed they are getting the riders to the tapes.

Not sure about this week, although matches aren't ridden on paper the Torun Globetrotters look strong and may pull away. Then again you've got a knack for predicting these matches if i remember rightly.

Hmmm what average does a Polish reserve come into the UK Elite League on? Czaja continuing his recent heavy scoring.

No worries, not here though i on desktop PC.

Wow Czestochowa certainly giving it a go. They'll need Grandmaster 'Grandfather G' to have an off day and even then the other riders are a frighteningly strong line-up.

Polish TV certainly don't wait to see if a rider is ok before showing multiple slow motion replays of a crash.
