I can't see how we will get close to the points limit anyway personally

But Bacon is 28? I can understand 25 maybe.

I get that, it doesn't make much sense to me. Should have just been 4,3,2 and 1 on the averages. Bates and Brennan will be the best by far, then Bacon, Kemp, and Pailin/Kinsley afterwards.

I'd rather seeing Palin improve and benefit from a season in the top flight, who's young and could make it far in the sport. Bacon might make a reserve in the top division but otherwise can he really improve.....

Completely agree.

Certainly some riders who wasn't chosen who could have been better choices.

Ryan Kinsley for the rising star

Tom Bacon it is

I take it all back! Welcome Jordan Palin to the showground. Be a chance to ride with your dads heroes

Its the logical choice in all honesty. Id prefer to go for a real youngsters and nurture them BUT can't see it.

All rising stars to be announced in the near future apparently, according to other teams.

If he signs.... I don't think it matters what's left really. Team to beat

Stronger heatleaders than the Panthers in the next division.....

Crump signs! Wowza

I'm hoping Scotty over Ully.....

Bombers Back.

so with the 'Rising Stars' list, I assume Tom Bacon (aged 28) will be the rising star for the Panthers. How apt really, the oldest 'Rising Star' signing for 'Dads Army'.

I think was more a case before he injures himself in fairness.

Agreed..... only in Speedway, can come up with potentially a good idea then absolutely ruin it by allowing that.

Josh Bates ..... Rising Star whoever signs him will have an advantage from the off.

Nope, not based in the UK which came into the equation. They had to release a rider anyway due to the new young rising star rule.

Nothing gained, nothing lost with this signing IMO. Low 4s, will probably have the beating of all `Young Brits' and a few other reserves which means will maintain his average at worse. Could you do better on a 4.00 average, possibly, but could they average 6.00 like Lewis has the potential to if it all clicks, probably not.

Looks that way anyway

Cant see how you can have a team with Ulle in and get anywhere near the average. Unless Bjarne is being reassessed and coming in on a 8.00 average. I do get its not all about getting near the average set out by the BSPA, but seems silly wasting points.

Agreed, then still have around 6 points for someone else before the young brit. Still the average age will be around 38....
