As a season ticket holder and lifelong fan of the witches i'd like to see wholesale changes to the team despite what has no doubt been our most successful period at this level in the second half of this season!
of this years team i'd like to see nico and hume return for sure, hume has bags of potential and nico is non stop entertainment (although needs to work on his gating).
as for the others dependant on his finishing average i think perhaps sarjeant is worth another go, if he can keep his cool at the startling he's a good gater and has very good track craft around the heath.
king has been fantastic in the second half of this year and it all depends on rulings as to whether on not a return will be possible, i think he's a top rider that goes out and wins races but not always the best team rider and potentially more strength in depth could perhaps be a better route to go down?
obviously depends on final averages and if my thinking of the elite conversion for schlein is correct, but a few potentials I've enjoyed watching at foxhall and think would provide a strong team from top to bottom, (and maybe one or two eyebrows raised)
rory schlein - 7.16
ryan douglas - 7.13
nicolai busk jakobsen - 6.93
niclas porsing - 6.58
nico covatti - 7.49
danyon hume - 3.00
adds up to 38.29
depending on final averages and team limit next year and any possible gb rider reductions could leave room for tom perry, danny ayres, robert branford, ashley morris at number 6 all of whom have showed some good form at foxhall on previous visits
