Masters 9.15 Pickering 9.42 Jenkins 6.21 Gilkes 5.08 Hook 4.17 Scott 2.00 Killeen 3.85 39.88 Maybe try and convince Picko to ride on a short term deal until Scott is back? Quite hard to guess who will be at Oxford to be honest.

Think some riders have gained in average due to riding with poorer riders (or riders having a poorer season). He's been riding a lot with Kye and if you look this year Kye has scored over double the bonus points than Paco. Looking at the averages including bonus points Paco is 7.56 and Kye is 7.47 but the GSAs are over half a point apart. Victim of the averages system I feel

Unless something has changed the team has said that they'd announce the team before the end of the month

There is a paragraph on the next page that states: Any other rider (meaning non-british) with an established average, cannot drop below 4.00 in the Premiership or Championship leagues at any time during the season. I'm going to assume that their average won't be able to drop until they are over 4.00 but who knows really.

Cat Rider Participates In Premiership League Average Championship League Average 1 Any rider who has been an FIM GP rider for 2 consecutive seasons within the last 5 seasons (excluding wild card riders and a reserve rider who has competed in 2 or less FIM GP rounds in any one season) 8.00 12.00 this rider would only be considered dependent on fixture clashes 2 Polish Ekstraliga with an average of 6.00 or above 7.50 11.25 this rider would only be considered dependent on fixture clashes 3 • Polish Ekstraliga with an average of between 3.00 and 5.99 • Polish League 1 with a published average of 6.00 or above 6.00 8.50 this rider would only be considered dependent on fixture clashes 4 • Polish Ekstraliga with an average of 2.99 or below • Polish League 1 with a published average of 5.99 or below • Polish League 2 with a published average of 6.00 or above • Swedish Elitserian League published average of 6.00 or above 4.50 6.00 this rider would only be considered dependent on fixture clashes 5 • Polish League 2 with a published average of 5.99 or below • Under 24 Polish League only • Swedish Elitserian League published average of 5.99 or below • Swedish Alsvensken League • Danish Super League 4.00 5.00 this rider would only be considered dependent on fixture clashes 6 Not participated in a professional league 3.50 4.00

Forgot to add Chris Harris when alerting that Bomber was coming

Cruz Harris?

Away from home put him at 2, at home he could even ride at 5 (if he rides like he has done when visiting Glasgow). Think him and Bomber would ride too similar lines at home to be productive together

I'm 50/50 on Flint, I'm fine if he's on the team especially if the team is built where he can ride at 3 or 4 but I'd also be completely fine if he isn't back. He showed improvement but only really near the end of the season and his consistency wasn't always the greatest.

I think as long as he doesn't get injured he'll be the favourite to win it

Would Riss not be on a converted premiership average of 8.42 since he didn't ride championship last year or am I getting the rule/calculation wrong?

We've got 99 riders but (personally) I don't think Leon is one. I don't have any inside information though so it's a guess on my part

Something like this, replacing Bailey with someone else if he isn't riding maybe? Wright 8.37 Flint 6.68 Edwards 6.18 Vuolas 6.40 Bailey 4.97 Mulford 4.27 Trigger 3.00 39.87

He's done 3 rides so he can be replaced (was probably already going to be anyway)

I don't see what Killeen was supposed to do there to avoid that

For me watching him that last meeting he wasn't afraid of the track and actually tried to fight round the outside and pass people, not many 2 pointers do that round Ashfield, he could have scored 2 points and I've have taken him

If no russians think it'll be Doyle Mikkelsen and Madsen with maybe Dudek or Janowski as the last one, though I also have a funny feeling Kvech could somehow get the wildcard

I'm sure the real money coming from riding in the GPs would be sponsors, the prize money (at least for the top riders) I'd guess is more a bonus than anything

Was more curious if fitting the top 4 together would be possible but doesn't look bad (or likely), just a bit of a long tail. Doyle 9.36 Sayfutdinov 9.12 Brennan 6.59 Musielak 8.21 D Thompson 3.11 Edwards 3.57 J Thompson RS 39.96

Kerr guested for Workington at Poole so won't be allowed

Can't be from a playoff team and can't have guested for a different playoff team in the semis I believe

Hopefully he sold his equipment he was struggling with to have a bit of a mental reset and get new stuff in for a fresh, hopefully positive, start again. Would be a shame if he packs it in now as he still has the potential to do well in the sport.

Picko just saw a close mate have what seems to have been a horror crash. I wouldn't want to be asked questions on live TV while he's still laying down on track.

Charles guested for Workington, don't think he can guest for another team unless semi guests are seperate from the final? King probably best bet as Kerr also rode for Worky

Just playing with numbers, don't think it's at all likely but would be strong: Harris - 9.07* J Thompson - 5.63* (or JP - 5.51) Boughen - 5.03* Hellstrom-Bangs - 5.00 (or any other superstar 5.00 , Bailey or Borke fit otherwise) D Thompson - 7.36* Foord - 3.90* Hodder - 2.00 =37.99 *Brit reduction
