He's British, and has never ridden here under a foreign licence, so of course he gets 2.5% discount off his average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noodles 1,337 Posted February 27, 2020 Ulrich confirmed for the Ben fund meeting. If he was the last rider you'd think he'd be at press & practise instead? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sully 274 Posted February 27, 2020 27 minutes ago, Speedster15 said: Ricky Wells is the man for the second reserve berth in my opinion. Rides Peterborough well and he like Scotty Nicholls can ride the technical tracks well. Ricky is also very good around Sheffield. Would prefer summers but wells isn’t a bad option either. Tidy looking side now that was worth the wait ;-). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at the aves Nicholls did get the 2.5% reduction last season! I was sure he didn't qualify for it but he defo deserves it along with any other British rider! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flappy 1,605 Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Does summers average fit? Think he'd be better value than Ostergaard personally and rode well in difficult circumstances last season, it wasn't his fault he replaced Cook. If so the below looks like a decent team. All will be classed as experienced riders so no real excuses. Iversen MPT Andersen Harris Tungate Nicholls Summers Edited February 27, 2020 by Flappy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iversen MPT Andersen Harris Tungate Nicholls Summers If my calculations are correct we have 4.92 for the final place (reductions for Harris and Nicholls) ............. Iversen 7.54 Tungate 6.59 Palm Toft 6.30 Harris 6.00 Andersen 5.79 Nicholls 5.36 AN Other 4.92 TOTAL 42.50 ........... so Summers on 4.87 would fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be a waste to sign someone on a 4.00. I know it's all about average gain, but realistically Ully could get a 5.00 on good machinery, Summers wont average any worse than what he is now.
