Yes he did but since the injury has not been so good and Zach has taken over as the second best rider and should have been moved to 5.

To be fair to Anders. He was probably expecting to be at 3 for the season. But Kerr and Zach both had poor starts. Rowe did a better job at 5 than either of them.  He put over a point on his average i think? Which is what you want from your riders. Inconsistent, yes. But often competitive out the gate and had some great races at Wimborune RD this season.   

Regarding Anders Rowe. We know he will be in the 2026 side together with Cairns as both were signed on 2 season deals for 25/26. I was a bit disappointed with Anders last season as expected him to push on more than he did. I think many did. I would like to think that this was mainly down to the groin injury that he was carrying for at least part of it. Believe it needs both treatment and rest. Also in at least one match he had an arm injury. If the groin injury was causing him so much problems then it would certainly have affected his consistency especially as he is not the best gater and scores a lot of points by overtaking thus requiring more effort. Would be nice maybe if Danny Ford or Anders himself puts out a statement during the close season explaining that it was this injury that hindered his progress in 2025 which would go a long way to explaining his up and down form. Hopefully he can get it sorted with a 5 months before it all kicks off again for 2026.

As you know there's been several meetings to agree to whatever the rules are for 2026, the AGM is where these decisions are officially voted on and passed, but I believe in the past things have changed when the vote was counted and they had to go down another route 

Exactly why have a points limits +additional rules on how too use it.

With Manchester Uni guesting for one or the other...
