Not sure if he is old enough to ride in Championship? Flying at the moment. Is he available for us? Would Martin Phillips drop his son for him? He needs to do something soon. He's given him far too much time already! Guested for Edinburgh on Saturday. Fell off in his first two rides. Then 2 coconuts in his next 2 rides. Not on the pace at all. Was with Archie and Danny at the Belle Vue and Swindon rounds of the BYC at the weekend, and Jordan was brilliant both from the gate, and his pace and style in the heats. He had some great duels with the Thompson twins( not the singers) and like Jordan they are both going to make great riders. They have grown since the last time I saw them, and on their way up. All those three riders are 15 at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dandelion 775 Posted June 26, 2019 2 hours ago, ruffdiamond said: Can we ? Yes... We'd be 2.03 points under the limit... Danny is 2.00 and danyon would be 3.69 (last year's average with 2.5% reduction... I think) or alternatively we could swap lasse for a new number 1 8.50 or less...

It's the added limit points that have helped us... Our team as a whole has stayed at a similar level... Max and Matty increasing, Tommy and lasse decreasing... Everyone else the same...

Would have liked Connor at reserve... Think he's got a good style and knows our track already... Just was too early for him a few years ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However you do like your random names so how about Fritz Wallner on a straight 4.00...

Ish On 6/23/2019 at 2:42 AM, Dandelion said: Danyon Hume with a 2.5% reduction and Ben Barker on a 6.90 average fit would fit, even with next months rolling average taken into affect... That's with replacing Danny and Tommy... I do like Tommy a lot and Ben has A LOT of outside issues... But he'd still do a better job imo than the inconsistent 2019 Tommy has Steve Worrall © 7.72 Max Clegg 4.52 Lasse Bjerre 6.65 Matthew Wethers 6.50 Ben Barker 6.90 Danyon Hume 3.70 Jacob Bukhave 4.00 39.99 And as has been said, Dan Bewley would be perfect... But you'd have to live on drinking land to believe it What do Kenneth Hansen and Jonas B Andersen do these days? I was referring to the figures that I was reading and, the same ones that you quoted,,, they've changed without any matches taking place Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The averages that I was looking at and, Dandelion had quoted seem to have changed slightly. I was sure they were up to and including June 19th, but maybe I got that wrong.

Thanks for that.if you add up the figures on the gb site the team as now adds up to 35.75 ! There seems to be a lot of points free tbh..let’s hope the management use them with change/s .
