However I don’t believe Ulrich has completed enough matches to get an established MA so will remain at 4.00 assessed Edited June 25, 2021 by NeilWatson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I assumed 10 matches (including his 2019 appearances) would be enough. But he's done 7 home and 3 away, so presumably will get an average after one more away match.

Thats of course assuming the BSPL don’t revise his GSA for July 1st which they could do. July GSA are due out anytime. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In all those years he still hasn't cracked bike setup, reliability or modern fitness. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeilWatson 1,988 Posted June 26, 2021 Ulrich's average remains at 4.00 for the 1st July Green Sheets. I believe (from 'BCD's post above)he will achieve an established average after Thursday's meeting at Kings Lynn, which will be effective from the home meeting on 12th July.

In all those years he still hasn't cracked bike setup, reliability or modern fitness. Completely agree. He is racing on a much smaller budget these days. Definitely carrying more weight than most other riders and driving as well as riding to meetings is a disadvantage too. on his day he can be brilliant but those days are getting less frequent. Last year at foxhall he really struggled but it was either the track’s fault or he couldn’t find the set up !!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arnieg 3,643 Posted June 27, 2021 But although he has the higher average (see my earlier post) I think that, for the reasoning outlined by Neil, Nicholls will be at reserve once Ulrich gets a new average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If two riders have the same average the average will be checked to the nth decimal place to see if they can be split. If the averages are truly identical then the higher placed rider from the previous GSA issue shall retain the higher position. Either way it gives Peterborough another very strong reserve for the rest of July. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
