Star Fever 274 Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) There are a few I wouldn't mind in the team (not all at the same time I might add), Barker, Harris, Birks, Howe, Cook, Bridger, Mear, R Worrell, Tully to name a few. Improvement on their current averages in every single one of them Sure theres some decent Brit riders, but apart from Harris the others you mentioned are all PL standard riders (or should be in Bridger's case) - if the Elite league truly wants to be ELITE then theres not many Brits who'd qualify sadly. And yes i could tolerate one but not two :/ (Having said that - i'd rather see a Brit than Bjarne Pedersen as someone suggested) Edited November 13, 2012 by Star Fever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,822 Posted November 13, 2012 It's all relative though....what you, I or anyone else thinks or wants the EL to be is irrelevant really. It is what it is unfortunately. As it stands it seems that the points limit is likely to be 42.5 and very few of the world's top men will be racing over here, and if rumour is to be believed Buster is keen to have more British riders in the side for next year. On that basis riders like Richie Worrall and Craig Cook would be very good signings although personally I think both will be out of Lynn's reach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel Smith 5,685 Posted November 13, 2012 I don't think the averages fit so I'd assume contracts have been offered but at most, 2 of those riders won't feature Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
