Who has said that? MPT and Tungate won't nor Ostergaard or Iversen but I would expect those 4 to maintain their average.

They will need a lay down afterwards!

The point is they will better last seasons figures because they had good reasons why they rode badly last year. Hans had a couple of very bad crashes, Harris had a home track that clearly he didn't enjoy,Iversen only did a few meetings for Ipswich at the end of the season and who wouldn't want Scott Nicholls at reserve! It takes some believing how low their averages are now and they will have Hans and Harris as second strings, if they all got back to 2018 levels which in my opinion is very possible then making the play offs will not be a problem.

Peterborough will finish in the play offs for sure, they have a very experienced team many of whom will increase their average after having had a really poor season , we all know they are not the riders they once were but they are much better than they showed last season.

All gossip and chit-chat until now!

Ulrich may be the best option as it appears he has a heart for the club and has never let them down, something other riders may lack.

I don't know what Ulrich has done wrong to be not wanted

I doubt Crump needs any practice at Peterborough

Not sure we need to be thankful Cook rides here.

Yes agreed the racing at KL has been very poor in recent times so hopefully the slicker track can help. Hopefully Peterborough can be better too, apart from the Poole meeting which was amazing, the racing has been fairly poor at Peterborough recently i believe quite a few have said.

As far as Cook is concerned I think his better years have been at Belle Vue but as he is a gater he should have done well at Kings Lynn but has underachieved in my opinion. As for Iversen anyone who has qualified for the gp's and is good enough for a rostrum position has to respected and i think he will have a good season,maybe even improve his average a little.

In fairness I don't think it was you that tried to make it into a Cook /Iversen debate , I may have contributed but only after others and one in particular responded. On a personal note I will always have the greatest respect for Iversen as a top rider, top bloke and anyone that passes dirty Nicki at Cardiff has my admiration.

I didn't mention their respective levels 10 years ago but Iversen is younger and hasn't been out of the sport for many years so in my opinion I would expect Iversen to be at a better level now. I hope Crump does well, he was a superstar of the sport. Cook has never been anything close to Iversen's level and I don't expect that to change anytime soon.

I didn't mention Crump, the comparison was with Cook but I would rather have Iversen than Crump at this stage of their careers.

Cook did well but i would back Iversen to beat him in most races, Cook never achieved what Iversen has and although he may not be as good as he was he still has a lot to offer and almost unbeatable at home.

Maybe a big mistake

Agree with you there, strange NKI didn't choose KL as he has ridden there fairly recently but from what i remember he always enjoyed riding at Peterborough so should score heavily particularly at home.

Nicholls must be able to get a 7 then!

Not sure about Proctor, personally I am not sure he will have a much better season than last year but I think when Harris or Hans start getting good scores it could spur on the whole team.

Anders has a chance i hope he makes it. Poole has 4 British riders Swindon has 3. As i said it should be in the rules, Swindon have Anders because his average fitted,they could have had a British rider instead of Stewart.

Jordan Stewart!

If all Swindon Top 4 maintain their average they will have had a good season, I think Perks can improve a little but it really depends on what Stewart and Rowe are capable of .

Most of the forum contains chit chat!

If any team should set an example it should be the previous seasons champions but I don't think it is up to any team to set an example it should be in the rules.

They certainly have riders who underperformed last season and are capable of much better, a lot of people are tipping Swindon to do well but they don't have many riders who you would expect to improve much.
