A couple of days ago I read on here he was on his way to Workington. Principal is the same, if they want to share out the top riders, just make sure no-one gets missed out whatever average they end on. i.e could be one rider over 8, one over 7.9, one over 8.1, just don't make a rider unemployed because of the ruling.

But klindt isn't riding championship so Pickering would be his replacement 

I know, I always said I had Flint as a reserve if the rules were the same as this year (40 points limit). I never said he'd be at reserve if the limit was lowered.

If the plan was to share out the top 9 riders in the league, then Pickering signing means one would miss out. They should just edit the rule, after all the AGM hasn't been held yet, so nothing is finalised. Just find the 10th highest rider & make the ruling one above that avarage. Peter Kildemand would be 10th on 8.05, so make the rule one rider above 8.05. * they haven't listed the final GSAs yet so Kildemand might not be 10th.

Looking at the British U19 from this year and excluding Foord who I think will be too old the top six were Harrison, Scott, Rushen, Cairns, Pjiper and Loftus. Assuming of course they are young enough at whatever the cut off point is.

That puts Flint at second string, not reserve!
