Probably the fact he rode one more round than Fricke? Fricke also finished on the podium this season, Holder didn't trouble it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes that’s right and to finish above jack he would need to finish on the rostrum again and jack not score any points for him to finish higher. Jack outscored max 7 times so because max got 1 podium he’s better is he. To be world champion you have to score more than the rest so I would think if you outscore another rider you are the better rider. If you think max is better that’s your opinion but I don’t get your logic 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diamonds85 699 Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) This argument Max vs Jack is pretty uninteresting and petty... They're both GP riders, both brilliant in the UK, can we not just be happy to have big names riding in Britain because not many of them do, even in positives people find something to moan about Edited October 25, 2022 by Diamonds85 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Facts speak for themselves. I’m happy to have jack back. The more gp riders the better Don’t get the bitching against Sheffield riders and promotion. Probably jealousy but who cares. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just saying the argument is pointless... Both riders are better than the other on different days, Jack has been better in the GP compared to Max, but Max has been better in Britain. I'm just happy to see them in this country and hope they're both back next year, plus Doyle and I can't stand all 3 of them, just respect how good they are, more loyal to British speedway than our own GP riders. Would love to see a few more of the bigger names back, Freddie, Bewley, Thorssell, Chris Holder etc... Maybe a few new faces... Please...? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lindgren has long Covid health issues, dunno what they are but missed a month of racing with Vastervik. A relative of mine has long Covid, never feel fully in control of their limbs. Can't be good on a Speedway bike! C Holder maybe. Bewley, hope springs eternal. Thorsell would struggle to average 6:00 in the Premiership looking at his scores on the continent. Unattractive signed on his previous average. Edited October 26, 2022 by Col Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slightly biased as I am a big Lee Complin fan but could be useful down at reserve... Lee's deffo looking for a top league club to fit in with his other meetings in 2023. When he guested the other night his engine wasn't set up right but I'm sure he'd soon be out of the reserve birth at Sheffield if he got a shot at it next year.

He hasnt managed to get out of the reserve berth at Championship level... he would be the worst reserve in the league based on this years reserves and i include rising stars in that!! hes not even been dominant at NL level!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really,he looks good against juniors in NDL but that’s it for me.Championship scores from reserve are hit and miss.He is still entertaining but hard to see him getting any better.

PhilTheAce 498 Posted November 3, 2022 I’d guess Sheffield will be pretty much the same 1-7 minus 1 or 2 riders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
