Neila Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Unfortunately with the points limit set at 40 and you need 45 points to get a result. Most teams are going to be over the points limit come end of the season, thus you have the situation where riders lose out just to get a team within a limit. For once I agree with @Woke23 a rising star position should be made for the championship as well, but maybe limit it to the lesser experienced riders, rather than the ones on the premiership 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like he got an average of over 5, and then thought he was worth no1 wages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If cook appears for a full season and his head is in the right place, I think he could challenge for the number 1 position tbh, be nice to watch another 15 point max at Plymouth 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndiCapp Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 (edited) Seems positive from the club on pending signings saying at no point they have struggled to attract riders and that the final pieces arent far away so i think rather then negativity the clubs activity should be looked at with optimism as to giving fans the best side to allow the team be best served for a title challenge. I for one am excited for the pending news. Edited January 8 by AndiCapp 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
