Only @Cast1rn has a fascination with their averages. Which are 7.39 for Ben and 6.22 for Zach. Ben's seem what you would expect imo. Maybe Zach's would be considered false considering the form he is on atm. If you want them, you would have to get rid of at least Basso or Harris are maybe even both and have King as no1 for example.

Noelinho 922 Posted October 17, 2023 With next year’s points limit, Tom will be a great #5 for someone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe end up in Edinburgh if rumours of one of Edinburgh’s 2023 riders moving to Glasgow are true? What one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A decent PL heat leader and international level (Ben) and a journeyman PL reserve and CL second string respectively. (Zach) As with Brady and Todd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No chance Plymouth would touch him after his antics there last few seasons and he is very poor round Poole. Not many other options on his aveage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zach got 14 at Scunny the other day outscoring Dougie by a point. He also won the Olympique last night, where experienced track specialists like Dougie and Harris got sixes and sevens. And yet he is going to only be a Champ second string according to you. Either you are trolling or never watch him ride! lol Edited October 17, 2023 by lisa-colette Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Watched Borke at Glasgow this year and took him one ride to figure out the track and was very good thereafter. It's only what I heard might be nothing in it.
