Sorry....I got lost in the 'chat'...I meant Riss is better than Lampart? Like I say....why arent Bham snapping Klindt up in place of Lampart? Klindt is arguably better than Worrall/Millik/Cook and Lampart??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petecc 352 Posted April 17 I'm not sure that klindt is the answer. However if a change is going to happen soon ,milik would be the first because using common sense before he gets a true average. If he's on a 4 average someone will sign him at reserve , then will return to Perry Barr score double figures and we will be back to square one. Did I write common sense? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd suggest that Riss does have room for improvement seeing as he was unwell last year and probably rode when he shouldn't have done. That said not sure I'd have replaced Klindt with him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Klindt isn't the answer to turning Birmingham into a winning team, but he has the ability to score more points than Lampart, so any improvement is worth doing. I'd keep Milk, as he may start scoring well at reserve. If Birmingham weren't so bad, I'd give Lampart longer to see if he can improve, but Brummies have done so poorly they need to be ruthless.

GiveusaB 1,155 Posted April 18 The first thing B'ham must do before the next home meeting is.....(besides signing Klindt for Lampart).... Knowing how slow 'most' of the team are out the gate....make sure that the track has plenty of grip....regardless of the weather/forecast !!! Don't just get the track ready just so the meeting goes ahead....get the track ready to give the riders a chance to 'over-take'! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riss definetly has room for improvement on that average, but he has never looked like being better in the top flight than Klindt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1stbender 19 Posted April 19 Lampart definitely worth keeping think he will be fine in the engine room. The obvious change is Milik but I’m not sure what the options are or if Birmingham can afford to temp a strong number 1 rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
