KIRKYLANE 537 Posted January 24, 2018 Kyle is very level headed and ambitious. His CMA for last year was just over 8 which is very good for his first year and even more impressive as he did this when he was 15 !!! So on average he came 2nd in every race,...... I am sure Ben will develop well during 2018 at the NSS It was great last year watching the young riders develop ...long may it continue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,192 Posted January 24, 2018 Kyle finished on 6.67. Still very impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces High 70 Posted January 24, 2018 Plus he was riding at 2 so he was programmed to share a lot of rides with the best rider in the National League last year. Looks so natural on the bike for such a young lad and riding at Workington will only help him. He'll be absolutely smashing it for the Colts this year.

Moleman27 31 Posted January 24, 2018 Considering Kyle looked clearly like the one who may have been the best last season. He disappointed slightly on expectation in the end with Brennan and Jenkins proving far more impressive in the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 6.67 is the average regards team building for this season and can be seen on the green sheet averages on the BSPA site The CMA includes bonus points and gives a far better indication of how well he rode. Basically it gives his score out of 12 including bonus points . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I saw, especially towards the end of the season, Bickley was the best of that trio, with Brennan a little way behind, and Jenkins slightly disappointing.

Moleman27 31 Posted January 24, 2018 Actually I would say Tom was ahead at the the end of the season. And is a much more natural racer than Kyle from my opinion but obvious would be biased as watched tom all season. Bur yes Jordan was disappointing anywere but at Mildenhall.

Hunters 210 Posted January 24, 2018 Not a lover of Bonus Points other than for teamwork and payment. All 3 had a substantial advantage at home and nothing much between them over the season. This year it looks as though they will all be at No 3 so a good guide to their respective abilities but it will be tougher for all 3 to actually win races. Just pleased that we have these youngsters to give us promise for Team GB in the future. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you take them head to head in the play-off final, Bickley averaged 9.20 and Brennan 6.00. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,065 Posted January 24, 2018 Bickley was in stunning form at the end of the season, like Brennan was at the start and Jenkins was at Mildenhall. With Kyle at Monmore as well this season it will give a better indication of where he is at in general, rather than how well he can ride his home circuit.

TurnTwo 317 Posted January 24, 2018 How can you say brennan wasn’t the best rider? His average was highest of the 3 and his no average was 7.96. As well as this he rode at 7, 1,2,3,4& 5 where as Bickley and Jenkins didn’t go to number 1. Facts speak for themselves, brennan is the better rider without a doubt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As Bickley was riding against the weaker losing team he should get more than Brennan against the much stronger winners. To be more precise the main difference was Bickley got 14 at B Vue aided by retirements from Bewlay and Bailey whilst Brennan got 6 having to take six rides including heat 15 against Bewlay and Smith. Not a level playing field but as I said, this year the averages should give a real comparison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnieg 3,651 Posted January 25, 2018 This seems a very sterile and petty argument. All three have similar records. All three are very talented. Given the right breaks all three will go far and deserve our backing. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
