Even if that was the case there were 133 team spots so still not enough. If there were 126 different riders last year filling 133 team spots you have made it abundantly clear there are NOT enough riders. It's no good apologising to Somerset fans for labouring this point on 2 occasions. What you are claiming has been proven wrong. By your own argument! There aren't enough riders to fill both leagues. Time to move along then.

Whoever owns him, otherwise Championship.

There aren't 145 riders of the standard required. Your own figures have proved there aren't enough anyway.

Correct. 126 different riders rode in both leagues last year which required 133 to fill spaces. By any maths that proves there aren't enough riders to fill all team spaces. No different this season.

We've established there isn't. 133 different riders needed for 19 teams. You can't include riders who 'might' want to come as only a handful of new riders join our leagues year on year. We've established there aren't enough quality riders to fill both leagues. For the riders you have added as new subtract the riders who have retired as well.

Loving the comedy.

Your wrong and your maths are all wrong too. It's 19 teams in the top 2 leagues. Can't count riders who double up as 2 spaces. You would be missing riders by your own idea. It's proven there aren't enough riders to fill both leagues, certainly not of the standard required to fill both leagues or one big league.

Which everyone knows was only because of injury.

Not enough to fill 2 leagues unless you fill them with sub standard NL riders and certainly no way unless it's double or triple up/down. It's a myth there are enough riders to go around. There isn't.

TBH I didn't think the governing body could muck up the averages any worse than the multiplyer farce of last year. However it seems they really can. Assessed and reassessed averages for some and not others with no real logic to the decisions is making it shape up to be the most corrupt season in a long time. We should be doing everything we can to endure British riders have the team spots they need. Making an average stick after a handful of meetings is plain ridiculous. And if they are helping one (Clegg) to a nice low average after meetings you can count on 1 hand and penalising another using the logic is plain bonkers. I see no reason why they can't both be using their start of 2017 averages as neither did enough meetings to qualify for a new 2018 top flight average. It seems the required amount of meetings to qualify can change rider on rider. Corrupt to the core.

Clegg only did 4 matches, Ritchie did 7. If one is fair then both are. Can't see a logical reason for one and not the other.

I didn't say it was a definite. Looks like they have set the precedent with Clegg however. But then this is the BSPA so it can be any average. Not confirmed anywhere. But shouldn't be.

7.26 was his established average from Poole. He rode 7 meetings. Given Clegg was given a 2.00 average based on 4 matches for Wolves in 2017 I assume that Richie's would be too. 7.26

Development league.

The polish ruling confirmation. That's the only one that's important. Got that one?

Let's hope the Poles like a motocross track as a home circuit.

Fact is Tungate has a way inferior top flight to Morris.

Care to post the confirmation link?

Has said he isn't starting the season anywhere in UK.

But probably better than Kurtz.

Of waiting for Bjarne Pedersen to confirm he will be cheaper?

I read it different as poorly punctuated. Read it that they have seen Bewley and then what the scores were. If you follow the reply back.

Fricke has yet to show his foreign form in the UK but is more than capable of challenging Cook for the number one jacket. (Assuming he is an Ace of course). As for Bewley, what a talent. Can see him adding 1-2 points on his average.

You missed my point. Woryna signed before the season as a Poole asset, whilst Mateusz was already an asset of Poole. Little chance any other club could have then.
