I think using riders not in heat 15 would be unfair for more strength in depth teams. Glasgow, Redcar or Poole would have an advantage over Edinburgh or Oxford for example just because the former chose to have weaker reserves to have a stronger top end.

It took some doing but you managed to squeeze it in there... ooer missus

The match is off waterlogged track.

Have to wait and see if Kerr can up his game & stay in one piece.  It was quite noticeable last season that Zac raced best when Ben wasn't around, he's going to really step up this year. I see Ben doesn't seem to be going so great now. 

Ah, my bad, thanks for that!

There are 3 teams clearly better then the other four... With one of them clearly better than the other two.. The other four then get split into pairs... Oxford and Birmingham being the bottom pair.. From the moment all the teams were announced that was going to be the case as the vast amount of comments on here clearly showed, (and Bet365's odds!) Never quite understand how, each year, after a few weeks into the season, some fans call out how poor their team are when it was "blindingly obvious" before a wheel was turned how much adrift they were from the better teams... "We have gone for strength in depth, with each of our tean capable of putting a point on their average".. Translated: "We wanted to sign a world level rider as we know it is the only way to be successful, but we couldn't get one"..
