I guess so, but then it's all relative isn't it - it comes down to what you are comparing it to!!

disappointed to hear that - I thought he was having "a break". Personally think he has something to offer.

Luke Crang for no 7 slot

OK please catagorise these riders into double uppers and double downers, based on last season Craig Cook Danny King Ricky Wells Kyle Howarth Stuart Robson Steve Worrall Richard Lawson

What is the difference between a double upper and a double downer?

I thought eligibility was straight forward: Is the rider a- British b- eligible to ride in NL c - got a current PL average of 3.00 or less (or never got an average) if all 3 answers are yes then they can take no 7 berth

I think you may be looking at someone with strong family connections in the sport

Interesting choice - have to say he did impress me when he rode in a few meetings at Redcar - possibly one of the new riders with greatest potential to improve, but maybe starting behind a few of the others.

Danny Maassen ?

Jonas B Andersen signed on for 2016

Is Kennett not an asset of Rye House? If so, and the criteria remains same, then PL team would have priority in fixtures so he wouldn't miss any matches

Think it is more likely to be Lasse Bjerre 8.30 Rohan Tungate 7.74 Mikkel B Andersen: 7.00 Hugh Skidmore: 6.84 Jonas B Anderson: 5.60 Jan Graversen 3.83 3pt Brit 3.00 42.31 You could have Matej Kus in as third heatleader and still be under points limit, but I feel he is unlikely to be back in 2016

No comment

So therefore rather than a swop with Tungate and Grondal " more likely Tungate for Konopka" Does that make it clearer

More likely Tungate for Konopka !!

Two simple rule changes 1. Ref has discretion to put riders on a 1 minute time allowance, most likely used after unsatisfactory start, 2. After tapes infringement and a team opts for rider to go off 15m, then the opposing team chooses which two gates they would like their riders off - which could be 1&2, 1&3 or 2&3 - this negates any deliberate tape touching to move a better rider from gate 4 say to gate 2. One more drastic change Introduced the "ticking clock" for 2 minutes (or one minute - see above) when clock hits zero riders to be ready for green light, not still messing about!

On redcar Website - seems BSPA prefer a good track, low rental cost and reasonably central location for competing teams to a "better" stadium

and sometimes it is the ones you least expect are the biggest culprits!!!

What about the indecent ones? (Yes - you know who you are )

Any news on how Ulrich is? He slid off in his last ride last night and although it looked like a simple "get up and walk away" crash he was down quite a while and then limped off badly with boot removed? Best Wishes to him, hopefully nothing serious Sorry - should have checked your website first - being a Redcar fan I'm not used to news being on so quick

It was announced that Garrity and Bellago are in Silver Helmet at Redcar on Thursday - but what is announced as line up and who actually appears are often completely different!!

Everyone makes mistakes, even the very top riders - Ivan Mauger openly admits he made a mistake in his 1973 world final run off, when he could have waited to try his passing move.

Hi - post this on Bears Talk forum, I know Bruce's friend reads that and he is in contact with family

That's a very generous offer and a real incentive for him to go for it

You're using that dodgy Palm Toft calculator for converting averages he is 5.86 in EL which convert to around 8.2 !! How do you get a new average mid month, unless he was on an assessed average?
