Barrow Boy 2

Might not be a Lion Cub next season now that he's under contract to Oxford. Ironically his next match for the Cubs is on Saturday against his next season's team mates.

The average he has been given is the average he finished the 2014 season which was the last time he rode in the UK. I think.

Richie Worrall & Chris Harris have just swapped clubs and Craig Cook is to replace Troy Bachelor

Now that enough matches have been completed it is now possible to produce a list of my top 20 riders who on current form up to and including 31.7.23 are as follows;- 01 Jordon Jenkins-Oxford-1140 02 Connor bailey-Workington-1080 03 Henry Atkins-Oxford-1040 04 Alfie Bowtell-Mildenhall-1020 05 Dan Thompson-Leicester-1005 06 Max Clegg-Edinburgh-1000 07 Ryan KInsley-Oxford-970 08 Jacob Hook-Edinburgh-960 09 Lee Complin-Mildenhall-910 10 Jack Smith-Belle Vue-880 11 Sam Hagon-Belle Vue-870 12 Ashton Boughan-Leicester-865 13 James Pearson-Belle Vue-850 14 Adam Roynon-Edinburgh-845 15 Connor Coles-Berwick-810 16 Ben Morley-Kent-760 17 Greg Blair-Berwick-755 18 Danny Phillips-Berwick=740 19 Nathan Ablitt-Kent-730 20 Ben Trigger-Mildenhall-680

On Monday Eurosport's Premier League Table had Leicester as having lost 3 times this season. Surely this should have been 2. Presume they regarded the home draw against Belle Vue who won the Super Heat as a loss.

Heats 13 & 15 earn riders more points that in say heats 2-8 and 14. The harder the races the more ranking points are earned.

My Top 20 Riders as at 03.07.23 are now as follows:- 01 (01) Ryan Douglas-Scunthorpe-1070 02 (02) Charles Wright-Redcar-1060 03 (04) Craig Cook-Edinburgh-1035 04 (05) Sam Masters-Oxford-1030 05 (03) Scott Nicholls-Oxford-1020 06 (07) Benjamin Basso-Glasgow-980 07 (10) Chris Harris-Glasgow-960 08 (13) Tom Brennan-Glasgow-900 09 (18) Lewis Kerr-Oxford-890 10 (06) Danny King-Redcar-885 11 (08) Richard Lawson-Poole-880 12 (19) Justin Sedgmen-Birmingham-860 13 (09) Ben Barker-Plymouth-855 14 (11) Ben Cook-Poole-850 15 (12) Richie Worrall-Plymouth-840 16 (----) Zack Cook-Poole-840 17 (15) Rory Schlein-Berwick-800 18 (14) Nick Morris-Birmingham-790 19 (16) Jake Allen-Scunthorpe-785 20 (----) Kyle Howarth-Plymouth-780

Presumably Team GB will comprise Tai Woffinden, Dan Bewley & Robert Lambert but who will be our 4th rider?

Dan T out. Vinnie Foord out. Will Ashton B. be missing as well ? there is a Youth Event at Edinburgh at 1-30 .

My top 20 riders as at 30.05.23 are as follows:- 01 Ryan Douglas-Scunthorpe-1110 02 Charles Wright-Redcar-1080 03 Scott Nicholle-Oxford-1060 04 Craig Cook-Edinburgh-1040 05 Sam Masters-Oxford-1025 06 Danny KIng-Redcar-990 07 Benjamin Basso-Glasgow-970 08 Richard Lawson-Poole-930 09 Ben Barker-Plymouth-925 10 Chris Harris-Glasgow-900 11 Ben Cook Poole-895 12 Richie Worrall-Plymouth-860 13 Tom Brennan-Glasgow-840 14 Nick Morris-Birmingham-815 15 Rory Schlein-Berwick-810 16 Jake Allen-Scunthorpe-805 17 Kyle Howarth-Plymouth-800 18 Lewis Kerr-Oxford-770 19 Justin Sedgmen-Birmingham-755 20 Steve Worrall-Poole-750

When teams operate RR only 6 are required so it can be done.

Only the regular reserve should be allowed to have 7 rides free scoring or not. Guests in any position should not be allowed more the 4 rides.

Not only that but he would have had 7 rides as well. I've always wished that if a team brings in a guest rider he should only be allowed to be used in programmed rides. Not as a tactical and not in heat 15. If at reserve only the regular reserve be allowed to have extra rides.

Wish all tracks were like that.

Redcar do have a good team and could win out but Poole always seem to find a way.

Hi there Lisa. You might or might now know that each season I produce My Top 2O Riders lists which are based on their most recent results. I have simply applied their previous season's efforts to see how they might continue into 2023. I know that some will improve but based on how they finished up my 2023 prediction is based on this. Regards BB

1-Poole 2-Glasgow 3-Oxford 4-Plymouth 5-Scunthorpe 6-Redcar 7-Birmingham- 8-Edinburgh 9-Berwick

1-Oxford 2-Leicester 3-Belle Vue 4-Kent 5-Workington 6-Berwick 7-Mildemhall 8-Edinburgh

All meaningful matches should be included in riders averages. What's the difference between a K/O Cup and a League Match? True averages would then apply and be the same for all.

Why can't last season's teams be used. It is after all last season's competition.

I said such older non developing riders should be allowed to ride and did not suggest that they should be prevented. I agree that such riders do provide help and guidance to the youngsters.
