2.52 with British reduction but did he not say lately that he’d lost interest in speedway?

I thought he had all but given up this season but worky tempted him back. And he has said again that he has fallen out of love with speedway. I don’t expect to see him return next season.

Thanks

 I took his figure of 2.67 from the BSPL website which only ran to Sept 19.

Yeah that’s correct he is 2.60 with 2.5% reduction. But don’t believe he’ll be riding speedway next season

Last issue 2.10.26 on the website states 2.58 for Max before the 2.5% reduction.

Yep, this is the figure I'm using too (although I'm not 100% sure these are the final figures for all teams, Workington didn't rider a meeting after 2nd October, so Max's average shouldn't change)

All these figures are slightly different from the ones on the BSPL website. Don't know why, nor which will be used for team building purposes.

Beirao, these are taken off the official website.

So, James Shane's last Championship average was 4.80 for Birmingham in 2022. What reductions would be be entitled to? The standard 2.5% Brit reduction, but also 8% for missing more than a season? A bit like Ablitt for Scunthorpe last season, except he only 'missed' one season. Or is it 8% for each season he's missed? If his average is low enough Glasgow could go with:

1	Leon Flint	8.25
2	James Shanes	????
3	Chris Harris ©	7.93
4	Anders Rowe	6.39
5	Dan Thompson	7.55
6	Freddy Hodder	3.31
7	Jack Smith	3.04

It would have to be lower than 3.53. If not, you could swap Jack Smith for a 2.00er (Harry Fletcher? Senna Summers?) and Shane's average will surely fit then.

It would ensure that strong top 4 with a solid enough bottom 3. Jack Smith may never be better than a Championship reserve, but he'll be fine down at number 7 and has had 5 point averages in the past, Freddy is Freddy and I feel like James Shanes could really increase whatever average he's given and he's good mates with Bomber from the longtrack.

'Returning British Professionals: Returning British professionals can apply for an 8% reduction in their starting average for every season they have missed out of the sport, helping them secure team places.'

so 8+8+8+8+2.5% = 34.5%

4.80 - 34.5% = 3.14.

 

1	Leon Flint	8.25
2	Freddy Hodder	3.31
3	Chris Harris ©	7.93
4	Anders Rowe	6.39
5	Dan Thompson	7.55
6	James Shanes	3.14
7	Smith/Foord

Is that how it works?

[Diamonds85]

Personally I'd go with Joe Thompson rather than Anders Rowe and have Anze Grmek/Jordy Loftus/Niklas Holm Jakobsen/Ryan Ingram instead of Smith/Foord.

so 8+8+8+8+2.5% = 34.5%

4.80 - 34.5% = 3.14.

Reduction will be more if compound interest formula is used, almost 40%

James Shane's was with Monarchs Academy in 2026.  No reduction there?

Not sure where Diamonds85 took that wording from the SCB reg states 

in the Championship League a British rider not having ridden in a Professional League in the previous season(s) may apply for an 8% reduction on their previous Championship average

104N.B this regulation will be reviewed by the SCB at the end of the 2026 season

So no mention of this being a reduction for each year merely an 8% reduction if a year has been missed

NDL isn’t classed as a professional league so the rule if still in place in 2027 would apply
