Be interesting to see what the criteria is this season and who is on the list Flints Championship average would've ruled him out previously so something has changed... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Publication of the list would be nice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spin king junior 394 Posted November 25, 2022 I mentioned In the sheffield thread as I believed the criteria is- 1. Be under 25 or have less than 3 years experience in the top league And 2. Have a Premiership average under 5.5 or championship average under 6.5 So rightfully Flint is in 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lefty 1,268 Posted November 25, 2022 Once again are we heading towards the British Speedway philosophy of "Penalised for being successful, especially if you are British."........ unless you have a promoter in the family? British riders should ALL have a 25% reduction in average. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col 854 Posted November 25, 2022 Quote “We had to wait for the AGM to clarify the criteria for next season’s Rising Star programme, but when we knew Leon was available to us, it didn’t take us very long at all to decide that we should persevere with him because he’s a good, young talent and we know there’s an even better rider in there than we have already seen in some performances at Wolverhampton.” Where does that state that Flint is on the RS list? It just says Flint is available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
