scaramanga 912 Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Are you trying to say that Camptons better than his 4.66 average suggests? not really saying that but yes i would say he's slightly better at the moment but not too much on his day with no machinary problems he can do a job but more to the point i was saying there are unlucky riders who are better than the average they sit on some are better than the equipment they can afford also if i was team building he would not have been 1 of the first to be signed theres better out there but i would considor him as part of the overall 7 if the others allowed to take a chance on a rider who MAY improve given a good run Edited February 8, 2015 by scarra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lioness 1,478 Posted February 8, 2015 so if he is only 'slightly' better then Shads point is valid as he has not achieved the required 7 point average Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scaramanga 912 Posted February 8, 2015 so if he is only 'slightly' better then Shads point is valid as he has not achieved the required 7 point average i never said he was i actualy said i didnt think he would make a top rider the point was shads said he only looked at riders average not there abilaty to improve there avearge if mason rode at his best all the time and had less machinary issues which he seams to have a lot off who knows he may hit the magic 7pt average Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opinions dont come into it. we all like to think our chosen 'favourites' are the next Stevie Lawson/Carl stonehewer/Shane Parker. 99.9% of the time we are wrong. thats why average figures are used as a guide and not what we think they could do with Greg Hancocks machinery! Averages are a far more accurate guide of how decent a rider is than saying 'but in this race he did well' So what? Its ALL races that count and averages are the best indicator there is of that 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Najjer 2,913 Posted February 18, 2015 Probably a good job MPT quit as the rule that allowed him to drop back down on an old average no longer exists. How daft do they look now after being so quick to jump on Somerset's case with regards to rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted February 18, 2015 lets face it, every teams management/promoters look daft at the start of every season. they build a team up to the previous seasons rules and then the bspa change the rules before the start of the new season.. rules , what rules.?.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,714 Posted February 18, 2015 How daft do they look now after being so quick to jump on Somerset's case with regards to rules. But at least they were applying a genuine old rule rather than making up their own. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
