They have an average season with no riders improving and none getting worse. At the end of the season their combined GSA (all other things being equal) will be 42.00. Now imagine you want to sign the same 7 riders for next year ... You can't you will have to replace one rider with another who's average is 2 points lower to get back below 40. So the final outcome is that you've replaced a (say) 7 point rider with a 5 point one - how is that not weakening the team.

paul84 Posted yesterday at 05:55 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:55 PM Very solid start to our 2026 team building so far, I’m assuming Hook is nailed on ( be extremely shocked if not ) but sounds like the promotion have got things in place. Already excited for the new season ahead it’s always a long winter ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of a head scratch at the moment to be honest. Wouldn’t have antti back simply because of his away form, at times he looks like an amateur.

Plus hoping he improves away obviously. Maybe not every club is the same & sone fan bases will still support when a club struggles though? If they did have a top 5 of Jeppesen, Batchelor, Vuolas, Zischke & Hook, could put Antti at 5 at home & 2 away?

Had 2 years experience now on away tracks, hopefully attack them with more confidence if he is back for a 3rd season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul84 Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago I’d have Antti back very professional and imo he’s so good to watch around northside such a good style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
