Leek is not a natural but can gate on occasion....his standard at the moment is such that he ,would probably ride for any team offering a place..I hope he can improve this season,But I personally doubt his ability to go. Far...We will see?
Must be difficult to sign riders here its a long way from any where else,and the traffic getting there especially on a friday is horrendous....Good luck with what they have managed to sign at this speedway out post..
Most teams look weaker this season ,but some sides have creamed of the best young riders..they are the likely to be top leagueI contenders ..IOW have a big home track advantage and if the signed riders get dialled in early Thay should do ok at home at least., I know Ben Morley is investing heavily on the right engine for the big ,track,and is intent on giving IOW 110 .per cent...
The product has been watered down this year,,And some may be expecting to much with the very limited points available for team building...ie 39 per team....
Mark Sexton stood in last season and could be favourite if he wants it, ?Especially if Kelvin is still there with input..John Sampford has no favourites and makes the hard decisions for the team benefit only,,,may lack a little rider motivation..but knows the rule book backwards and is totally committed to the job
Not a lot of back up to Morley and Hopwood in this side i would not consider Campos a heat leader.....Mildenhall and Eastbourne seemed to have signed all the best youngsters
39 point limit will do nothing to put badly needed bums on seats ,and may rule out several promising riders that may not even get a team in the Championship
Hate this new format ,had the devils own job to sign in with a password problem,,and have had. To. sign in again today to post this,,anyone else having problems ,!?
Redandyyellow is about right with that assessment ,though there is a difference from club to club according to finances,,, some as low as ten pound a point for some riders...
Riders do not reveal their points money normally to the public as it can cause friction in a team .But it is well known that the top riders negotiate their own rates with the promoters and it varies from track to track.... And it is hush hush....And promoters do not want it known what they pay individual riders,,so the word is they all get the same..........?????
