Exactly. Current form is always the best way to go.

Yes because it is important for the FTRs to be involved at the very top as often as possible if they are to progress as intended.

If say Swindon want to keep Worrall and say Poole want to keep Newman etc then such riders should no longer be on the FTR list so they must be part of their hopefully 1 to 6 next season.

In principle this idea was to be applauded but as we now know in practice it has not really worked . If it is to be continued in 2015 I would like to see that only one such rider per team be allowed who must always be made available to his team whenever his Premier or National League team are in action on the same day.

as we all know and expected. Guest riders were not abolished but instead they were used more times in 2014 than I can ever remember. It's got really silly now. Hopefully the powers that be can be made to see what a mess they have created and do something about it.

So we are agreed then. Something must be done.

My top 10 riders on current form are now as follows:- 01-Steve Worrall-Cradley Heath-1110 02-Simon Lambert-Kent-1105 03-Joe Jacobs-Mildenhall-1020 04-Dan Halsey-Mildenhall-970 05-Paul Starke-Cradley Heath-950 06-Ben Morley-Kent-945 07-Simon Neilsen-Coventry-930 08-James Sarjaent-Coventry-910 09-Liam Carr-Buxton-900 10-Josh Bates-Mildenhall-895

There is more time wasting at the starts than ever now. I think that starting marshalls are now being totally ignored with many riders not wanting to line up until the others have done so. When more than one rider does this it takes forever. Sometimes the referees flash the green light to tell them to hurry up but this is a waste of time because they simply do their own thing. Gate one should be asked to line up first then gate two and so on. Riders not conforming to the satisfaction of the referee to be dealt with after the race has been completed.

OK but please understand as I have explained before, my calculations are based on the amount of difficulty and ease of obtaining points in certain heats. i.e. heats 13 & 15 are harder to score points in that say heats 2-7 & 14. My spreadsheet allows for this and provides ranking points based on this and not done without any statistical analysis as you deemed to assume. 01-Simon Stead----Sheffield--1040 02-Ben Barker-----Plymouth----980 03-Josh Grajzonek-Workington--960 04-Danny King-----Newcastle---950 05-Rene Bach------Workington--940 06-Craig Cook-----Edinburgh---930 07-Edward Kennett-Rye House---925 08-Theo Pijper----Glasgow-----910 09-Oliver Allen---Somerset----905 10-Rohan Tungate--Ipswich-----900

But they should have won this match. How did a team with 5 number 1s lose this match then?

I think he has made himself unavailable and I think it will be Australia who will go through.

I agree. Staying in the Premier League is not making him improve.

So that rules out another theory

But didn't someone say that Rory Schlein is currently racing on a British licence.

If the refusal has been made based upon his current BEL average of 6.86 then why does Craig Cook still ride for Belle Vue on an average of 7.01 and Danny King be allowed to ride for Newcastle with a current BEL average of 6.93?

But it is quite often 4 or 5 minutes before they start after the 2 minutes is applied.
