As someone pointed out to me the 8 percent reduction for every season off is for Brits only. As for TJ I’m really not sure, haven’t seen anything for a while following his injury which was a fair bit ago now.
So are Scunthorpe lining up at move to take advantage of the new 8 percent reduction rule. A few examples of new averages are down below!
Tero Arnio 5.88
Thomas Jorgensen 5.40
Josh Auty 5.45
Jason Garrity 4.92. Then with British reduction would be 4.80 as quoted in speedway star!
Don’t think he would fit. He ended 2024 on 5.04 so would be 4.91 with British reduction. Also just realised Lambert is 4.49 so means we would have 4.84 to play with
So it looks as though it might be
1) Josh Pickering 11.64
2) ?
3) Luke Harrison 4.97
4) Connor Mountain 5.96
5) Michael Palm Toft 6.10
6) Simon Lambert 4.49
7) Ryan Ingram 2.00
leaves 4.84 points for number to two if my calculations are correct maybe Declan Kennedy? Maybe someone else?
So then the Scorpions have 15.43 points left to use on the final three riders. I’ve put together a few possible options below. I think the top option is probably the best however leaves us weak at reserve
Anti Vuolas 6.87 or Steve Worrall 6.82
Michael Palm Toft 6.10
Any 2 point reserve or Max Perry
Michael Palm Toft 6.10
Declan Kennedy 4.63
Simon Lambert 4.43
Michael Palm Toft 6.10
Zaine Kennedy 5.24
Paul Starke 4.03 or an assessed 4 pointer
Anti Vuolas 6.87
Simon Lambert 4.43
Paul Starke 4.03 or an assessed 4 pointer
Might have to pick up speedway star this week to see what has been put! It’s tricky to tell whether that’s been put on the front as a bit of a headline but he’s on about speedway elsewhere
