Panthers99 434 Posted October 24, 2021 What do we think to Troy on a 5.00 odd average? COULD easily put a couple points on that IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted October 25, 2021 Batchelor is finished as a top rider. His reactions have slowed massively. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flappy 1,605 Posted October 25, 2021 On that average I'd have him personally, it won't happen though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon1983 557 Posted October 26, 2021 Batchelor > Panthers is a non-starter even on that average there are other options that are far more likely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flappy 1,605 Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) It'll be interesting to see who Panthers would leave out first if they have to lose another rider other than Pedersen. I hope and expect it not to get ripped up by we may need a couple of changes to the main body. Going by this season's rules 35.5 for 6 riders that fits in MPT, Andersen, Nicholls, Harris and leaves 7.9 for two riders and Palin at reserve as rising star.

Panthers99 434 Posted October 27, 2021 Id imagine average will go up from 35. Far too many inflated averages this season. I think possibly 38 with one RS. You can't keep weakening the product and expect mugs (sorry fans) paying near £20 a pop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 27, 2021 Wasn't it said at last years agm,, that next season there would be 2 Rs riders,, as part of the 5 year plan. Surely they won't abandon another 5 year plan after on season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely they won't abandon another 5 year plan after on season. They will abandon anything that doesn't work irrespective of whatever apparent long term plan they come up with or publish.

Flappy 1,605 Posted October 27, 2021 I'm all for the two rising stars providing they're good enough. At what point does someone stop becoming a rising star? We don't want any more Bacon or Bates scenarios Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hans and Ully love Peterborough too much to a point where they would want to ride for the club even if another club offered more money. MPT is the best rider in the team and Nicholls was the captain of the side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
