I wouldn't say Garrity had a bad season last year at all. He missed out on some big home scores due to not riding at Sheffield but wasn't any weaker away!
Although Nicholls starts the season on the highest SCBC ave, he could be the top rider in the league by then end of it! I feel for Panthers to challenge, they'll need him to be!
It seems a while since Belle Vue had a Pole in the team! Artur Mroczka was the last one I believe? He was so promising at Poole expected him to do better for the Aces! Hopefully Drozdz will do the job Belle Vue are looking for - if he can stay in the team Bewley could be a great reserve!
That situation happens a lot, there are plenty of riders who have a higher Championship but a lower Premiership average than a fellow rider:
Lawson & Holder, Wright & Barker, King & Schlein!
What riding order would you go for to start with? Mine would be:
1 Jason Doyle 9.69
2 Jake Allen 5.07
3 Charles Wright 6.69
4 Richard Lawson 6.43
5 Jack Holder 5.82
6 Bradley W Dean 4.67
7 Jonas Jeppensen 4.00
I think Wolves have a solid top 5, should be good enough to win at home, but do feel race winners will be hard to come by away!
Added: unfortunately I see Nathan Greaves struggling, until he gets a SBGC place that is!
