Thomas/Jenkins/Thompson (RS) A season under Rews belt, Klindt a bit of an out there signing, but seems to have rode the track well recently, King going the other way maybe.

2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted September 10, 2023 Can a team keep the same 1-7 as they finished the previous season? Think they used to be able to. If not ... should be a rule Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not ... should be a rule There are downsides to such a rule, it means one club is building to a higher limit than others, plus any clubs stepping up could really struggle to find riders. Another (perhaps unlikely) scenario could mean a rider demanding 2 or 3 times his current pay because he knows his team want to keep the same 7 riders? For example Belle Vue are averaging 42.66, let's say Connor Bailey wants more money, if they don't agree they have to drop 3.66 to fit with a new team! Works the same with Bewley, he could say sign me on my Polish wages or replace me with a 4.34 rider? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't the Pole be on a 5? Rew is a must on his average although I do feel like Ipswich doesn't suit him a great deal. He's looked fantastic in the SGP2 but can't seem to replicate it over here. Riss seems to be a cert now he's dropped so low and lets face it, you won't run without King in the 1-7. Thompson could feel pretty hard done by if not picked as a RS again after a real upturn in form over the last few weeks but can see them staying loyal to Thomas if he can get fit. Biggest question is how do you replace Emil if he doesn't come back? Masters? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Rew ends up on his 4.00 average but riding at Belle Vue next season linking up with Lemon. Rew has shown in some scores in Poland and in SGP2 loves a big track so Rew replacing say Wright if that keeps them under the 39? Limit next season is feasible in my book 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An inspired change has to be made now if we are to have any chance of making the top four. I know chances are very slim, but let's not throw in the towel quite yet...
