Remember with Iverson was installed as Lynn's number one everyone was thinking he's not good enough and he then really stepped up as a world class rider a bit like Doyle he made the jump relatively late in his career.

Bit early for Seth to do championship hasn't had a full ndl season yet and had a big off towards the tail end of season 

Chris Holder has signed for Sheffield.

Everyone expecting Jack Holder back providing he proves his fitness over the winter, is it still but one Holder get one free? I don’t see the value in Chris’ average especially if he ends up at 5.  Rumours of some new faces and some that have been there a few years exiting the scene.     1 J Holder 8.75 2 Brennan 5.76 3 C Holder 7.25 4 B Cook 6.62 5 6  7 Rising Star Points limits of anything between 37-40 been mentioned, initially was told it was 40 limit will see it’s been diluted. If it’s 40 then Sheffield have 11.62 for 2 riders, if it’s 37 then 8.62 for 2 riders  Think they need a strong number 5 to back up J Holder, shame former Tiger Musielak going to Northampton as would have been a good option at number 5. 

I wouldn’t have thought that about Douglas either but he stepped up to be counted when taking over the number 1 race jacket and is now a 9+ rider. I’d have put them in a similar bracket before this year so it can be done. Everyone is different of course but Pickering just strikes me as that sort of confident character that would be inspired by being the main man rather than a support act. We’ll see.
