He’s still number one for Lynne in terms of average . Yes, he’s down on his 2025 Leicester average but nobody is near to that number in 2026.  The problem for the Stars this season hasn’t been Max. 

Well have to say I'm not so sure, it's the final bit of commitment that makes all the difference, I feel he is holding back like he feels he really can't afford the risk of an injury at this time. Once you have that thought in your mind it's hard to shake, it's all about responsibilities imo.  To compound matters Zac doesn't seem on fire either judging from his last few meetings. The upcoming semi/final(s) could be far tougher than expected. Time for all the Pirates to step up.

As a supporter of a team who aren't Glasgow, I personally couldn't give a hoot about what any rider who wears a Glasgow racesuit scores.  But I do give a hoot about fans/supporters who constantly slag young riders off, because that is highly unlikely to turn their form around.  

If he is declared unfit surely the Bandits could use guests? I can't see it making a massive difference anyway but anything is better than nothing.

Were he to be sidelined, there could be a different guest each meeting, each able to specialise at one or other if the tracks.    But Jack's average isn't too high just now: 3.12 for both legs.......
