Now I've not seen much of his races so cant comment on the number of falls he's had, but looking simply at the stats. Hume went from 4.09 to 3.87, but as he was stepping out of the RS position, that seems a decent season to me. Then look at the Prem aves of Rowe (3.76), Dan T (3.70), Gilkes (3.67) & Bailey (3.57). Now Hume has a lower Champ average than all these riders, so to have a higher (non-RS) ave than all these "rising stars" seems quite an achievement to me? He also has a lower Champ average than the top "rising stars" Jenkins (4.21), Kemp (4.04) & Flint (4.00) but is not far below them in the Prem. Think (some) people have been too harsh on him imo I’ve always really liked Hume - he is an honest trier - he has last season popped out of the gate on a 5-1 with his heat leader and done well gaining many decent points. he does fall a fair bit often when in decent positions - I am sure no one is more annoyed than he is - I wouldn’t have an issue with him being back but he won’t be this year. I do feel a different track will help him actually. Edited November 30, 2023 by GeneralMelchett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted November 30, 2023 Probs better that he starts at 6 anyway,,,, although with Rew at poss 2 doesn't help,,, I may be tempted to start with ellis at 2, giving Rew a slicker track at 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scoobydoo 2,254 Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) Jordan hasnt exactly had alot of sucessful meetings at Foxhall but hes not afraid to test himself further , Would of expected him to be at Oxford in both Premiership & Championship but this deal most likely agreed before Oxford announced running in Premiership Been a steadily Improving rider last couple seasons , look after him as he hopefully will be required back at Peterborough in 2025 he says very hopefully.

How is lambert this season? Oh sorry his isn’t part of your team, nor is Harris. And you have the most hated brothers in speedway in the holders. Jack bottled his third place in Grand Prix final when I was in Toruń. Facts. Have a good day Edited November 30, 2023 by Shano101 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
