Siggytastic 180 Posted January 7, 2022 Aa Danny only rode at number 1 in September, (2 meetings) wouldn't a better comparison be to other number 5's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve0 5,517 Posted January 7, 2022 17 hours ago, Pinny said: Even if Doyle isn't his once dominant self, he should still ease to an 8.5 average in this league at least. Also, you know that he will never give anything other than 100 percent. He wouldn’t want it any higher as that is likely to put him out of consideration in future years. Swindon took a hit a few years ago when they applied a multiplier and he had a ridiculous 11+ average!! What any good rider will do is ensure he has a good haul of bonus points where they can as this will keep their averages at a level that will keep them employable.

Out of all declared riders so far thought, Doyle would be my number one choice. Full of effort, entertaining , points machine and actually enjoys riding in the UK. Loved him in his half season at Newport. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very good point, put 4 x 8/9 point riders in heat 13 & 15 and they will only score 12 points over 8 rides (6.00 ave) so King is bound to have a lower ave in these heats!
