Is it just me, but do any others think Kvech will prove to be a pretty good number 1 this season with the experience of last year beginning to learn tracks etc. If he can after the first average changes, with Ben riding in the middle order or at 5 would be a solid team, not playoff winners I imagine but certainly could get to them, a lot of ifs what's and maybes but probably won't lose many at home.

One of the few.

My top 20 riders (weighted averages) 1. Richard Lawson - 10.02 2. Sam Masters - 9.89 3. Josh Pickering - 9.80 4. Chris Harris - 9.65 5. Scott Nicholls - 9.37 6. Tom Brennan - 9.31 7. Charles Wright - 9.11 8. Ben Cook - 9.04 9. Erik Riss - 9.03 10. Craig Cook - 8.99 11. Troy Batchelor - 8.89 12. Rory Schlein - 8.31 13. Danny King - 8.19 14. Steve Worrall - 8.13 15. Michael P Toft - 8.02 16. Dan Thompson - 7.95 17. Kyle Howarth / Anders Rowe - 7.86 19. Jake Allen - 7.80 20. Justin Sedgmen - 7.67

Thats Charles Wright, Jake Muford and Jason Edwards signed then. Good start. 

The comment is attributed to something Jake has stated based on being settled for 2025, nothing to do with Belle Vue 

Next season, Ben whilst at 1, will ride against the same opposition in his first three races. The difference for his fourth race will see him against 3&5 instead 4&7. You would think this will impact his scoring.  The silver lining is that he will be partnered by a lesser rider than Jaimon and is more likely to be in front of his teammate. Ben scored the highest number of bonus points for The Aces (24) and had he finished in front of his teammate his average would have been 7.53.
