I don't expect O'Keefe to score many, but at least he's an improvement on Clouting!

What about putting Kyle at #7 so he gets more races against fellow reserves then?

But what if an independent governing body voted in a rule all 11 Champ promoters disagreed with & thought it would costs would be prohibitive? Can't see promoters wanting to give it a chance!

Not sure why they'd make a decision like this so early? What if they had to drop a Brit to fit him in (Nielsen) because his average improved? If he's on a 5.20 ave might be worth bringing him in now to replace Manzares who has been in poor form for a while?

I don't see why you couldn't have different pairings home / away based on who's stronger at home / weaker away! Home 1. Richie Worrall 2. Tero Aarnio 3. Stuart Robson 4. Ashley Morris 5. Ludvig Lindgren 6. Matej Kus 7. Matt Wethers Away 1. Richie Worrall 2. Ludvig Lindgren 3. Tero Aarnio 4. Ashley Morris 5. Stuart Robson 6. Matt Wethers 7. Matej Kus

If Bickley was a Workington asset, i'd agree with the above comments, but what's to stop him signing for another club next season?

With Rene Bach getting a new ave (6.12) Workington could replace Kyle Bickley with up to 3.73! Would you drop him? Who for?

Jensen would come in on a 4.55 ave, which seems fair for him!

Was 38.85 for that season! 2009 = 39.90, 2010 = 40.95 (a 3 year plan)

Birmingham will be very weak at reserve without Cupitt now! As mentioned above if he had decided before racing 4 league meetings Birmingham would be in a much stronger position, however it would've made it harder for Cupitt to come back! Can Birmingham get into the top for without him & hope he returns in time for the play-offs!

Can't change rules mid-season, just plain daft!

Although it's close Wells does have a higher Champ ave than King and last year had a higher Prem ave than King too!

Those changes make Leicester a lot stronger imo! Great top 5 now!

Doolan would be on a 5.17 ave so can't replace Andersen, would have to be a Champ rider below 5.20 to fit! Dimitri Berge? Mark Riss?

I would guess MPT signed on his 2017 ave (5.57) on 2nd of April because no Prem riders have new aves! What they are doing now, when they should be combining his 2017 & 2018 aves for a rolling ave, i've no idea!

I found that quite funny!

I would take Clegg ahead of Ruml right now!

Seem's a daft rule as a club could potentially benefit by a rider missing one of the first 4 matches for his club, as it could assist with a team change!

Danny Phillips completed 4 matches for Coventry but hasn't been given a new ave?

It must take a lot of work to organise fixtures for the whole league, so I wouldn't complain about fairness unless I had a suggestion of who could take it over!

Number 6 gets harder races than number 7, so don't expect Phillips to be scoring many more! I.e If heat 2 Scunny get a 4-2 Phillips gets one point between oppostion, then in next 2 races he meets the 1&2 then 3&4 pairing, so can only expect him to come last! Manzares would probably get an extra race in ht 12 or 14. So Phillips would end up with a 1.33 ave just by riding to form!

My biggest issue is by saying best 2nd place team, what does that mean? Should have specifically announced it as points per match or points difference etc. Alternatively why not just have a 3 team, 3 leg final!

i'm not too sure, but since Smith was dropped from his Champ side, does he not come back into league on his most recent ave (Prem converted) i'm sure that's what happened when BWD went from Workington to Peterborough?

2 brits at reserve would make sense to me, especially using the EL "fast track" format where there were 2 reserves heats!

Jonas Jeppensen?
