Ablitt will probably come in at 4.64, after the 8% reduction. Lambert will fit as you could tell by the vibe on the 360 podcast he has signed.

Don't know why they can't be transparent like other clubs are in the press releases 🤫

He shouldn’t though he should really be coming in on 4.91, if we’re going to use the rules correctly.

Yes, technically it’s riders who have taken time out of the sport. But I bet I know what will happen…

Ablitt's last GSA was 5.04

4.91 after 2.5% Reduction.

Suspect he will get the 8 percent reduction whether people like it or not

Since he raced last season in Britain, he can't get the discount.   He should return to Championship on his average from the NL, converted at the standard rate.   Less the "British" discount..

He should be coming in on his previous championship average minus the 2.5%.

I guess we'll find out in time.  He's fairly pushing the boat out this year, travelling so far north, eh?

Why do people keep mocking the lad for this? Not all young riders have rich parents or big sponsors and I believe Nathan has to balance his riding around a full time job.

When he has signed for a team he’s always been reliable and never misses meetings and gives maximum effort so maybe the offers last season just weren’t right for him financially or otherwise.

Strange isnt it that everyone says riders should have a job as speedway isnt a full time profession , then proceed to moan when a rider fits in racing around the job.😏

The places he rejected last year were a Friday and Saturday night tracks. So pretty much same as Scunny. 
 

Also remember he couldn’t be bothered coming to Armadale one Friday for Belle Vue I think it was in the NDL but don’t tell anyone till the afternoon he wasn’t coming, real reliable. 

Nothing actually against Nathan, cause actually a good lad.
