On reflection I think you are correct he should be a 9!! Nobody will care now that he hasn't signed for Poole.

Crazier Doyle was always going to score very highly and has ridden over here for a number of years, and they had a world class rider lined up on a 4 point average.

Nobody would it would be crazy.

He may achieve a 9 point average but in the real world it would be very difficult and highly unlikely. There is no way he will be assessed as a 9.

No I don't, I think 8 would be fair for a new rider, who knows how he will handle our tracks, 9 is far too high for any new rider.

But by the end of the season any rider could come in on his previous EL average. You can't expect a new rider to come in on the same average as Doyle or Lindgren, a new rider is a gamble whoever it is, you could get woffy on just over 7 or Lindback on a 7, you can't say those riders are 2 points worse than Vaculik

Can't see the justification for a 9 point average, he will be a new rider, never ridden here before he can't be given anywhere near the same average as Lindgren and Doyle who have ridden here for years. Of course he isn't, he knows less than most and the majority of what he says can be taken with a large pinch of salt.

As a new rider to this country and he is a current gp rider I thought it was a 8 point average, Lindback had ridden here previously when he was re-assessed.

Would be a great signing for anyone. Chris Holder wouldn't be a great signing in my opinion.

I agree can't see any reason why anyone would think otherwise, I remember him saying last year how dangerous the sport is and if he is thinking like that I can't see how he will recover, some have mentioned he has had mechanical issues but that only masks the overall problem that he hasn't got the heart to be a top rider anymore. His season overall in the Gp's has been appalling and very lucky to be back in them, not sure Nicky Pedersen should be in them either coming back from a bad injury. I don't think he is capable of a 8 point average anymore.

Can't see NKI riding anywhere other than Kings Lynn, could be a good season for them if he returned.

I would say in my experience Steve knows things the general public may not know too but he isnt going to blurt it all out on a forum. We all like to predict the team but for me just a bit of fun.

Even Matt Ford can't tell you who the will be in the team until after the AGM and the points limit is decided, i am sure it will be announced soon afterwards.

No we don't especially if he rides like he did today

I guess Jack has made a full recovery from his illness then. Peterborough should not have got a facility and Jack should have got a ban.

Actually I think it is mixed feelings on the subject of the Holder's, i doubt Peterborough fans are all that keen on Jack despite his good season with them. They both have a seemingly low average and coincidentally Chris Holder's current average is the same as Jack's was at the start of the season.

Yes and her surname isn't Middleditch!

Yes I agree with most of that but for a couple of things, I think you mean Peter Johns engines and as far as I know Chris Holder has never dated Gemma Middleditch, Kyle Howarth has, maybe still does not sure but not Chris Holder.

Last season it seemed there were always riders in front of him!!

Their seems to be quite a lot the Peterborough promotion are keeping to themselves, don't think it helps them or the sport and disengages fans

Which is why we struggle to get the best riders over here, uk pay rates are totally different to Poland or Sweden.

Jack Holder's flu must be really bad to keep him out of action for over 10 days!

Dont believe Peterborough would have paid NP 6k a meeting in 2010 either. How much did M Loram want then because Tony agreed to ride for less.

Yes we know but even when he rode over here last time he seemed to ride within himself hes not going to change now hes even older. Hes not someone who would pull out all the stops for his team like Janowski did.

Exactly did ok for us last time but don't think he has the desire anymore to pull out his best in our league.
