I don’t understand why people come on here to tell people they know something but don’t just say it. It’s a public discussion forum. If you’re not going to discus it why say anything? It’s like being back in primary school. “I know a secret, but I’m not telling”

But I’m still interested in the fact Oxford are going for a third heat leader above 8.00

If that’s true then with Masters, Brennan and Killeen already signed it effectively means 2 x 2 pointers at reserve and a 3.00/3.50 pointer at number 2

I get the impression it will be Nicholls or Howarth,maybe Howarth not wanting to commute so much anymore for home meetings and Nicholls with Plymouth being uncertain.

It’s going to be Kyle Howarth.  Proper racer, gives it his all, been a good Championship number 1 and 5 over the last 5-6 years great to have 3 riders capable of being number 1

Great to see Kyle back racing and having Tom back in the championship.

Does that therefore mean that teams will be able to list their riders in any order (for the top 5).

As an example Oxford will have three riders with an average above the Berwick number 1.

Only stipulation is highest averaged ride has to ride at number 1, you can place your other riders anywhere in the 2-5 riding order, but usually have second highest at 5 and third highest at 3

With the 1 Over 8.00 rule being scrapped do we now assume that Plymouth or Workington aren't running because the Team Building rules were set for 3 Years on the basis that 9 Teams would compete in the Championship?

When did a multi-year rule ever last more than 1 year?

1.Sam Masters 8.99

2.

3. Kyle Howarth 8.08

4. Luke Killeen 6.03

5. Tom Brennan 8.64

6.

7.

Total 31.74 leaves 8.26 a proverbial wagging tail but with that top 4 that will win a lot of meetings.

id assume it’s going to be 2x2.00 riders at reserve.
