Was 38.85 for that season! 2009 = 39.90, 2010 = 40.95 (a 3 year plan)

Birmingham will be very weak at reserve without Cupitt now! As mentioned above if he had decided before racing 4 league meetings Birmingham would be in a much stronger position, however it would've made it harder for Cupitt to come back! Can Birmingham get into the top for without him & hope he returns in time for the play-offs!

Can't change rules mid-season, just plain daft!

Although it's close Wells does have a higher Champ ave than King and last year had a higher Prem ave than King too!

Those changes make Leicester a lot stronger imo! Great top 5 now!

Doolan would be on a 5.17 ave so can't replace Andersen, would have to be a Champ rider below 5.20 to fit! Dimitri Berge? Mark Riss?

I would guess MPT signed on his 2017 ave (5.57) on 2nd of April because no Prem riders have new aves! What they are doing now, when they should be combining his 2017 & 2018 aves for a rolling ave, i've no idea!

I found that quite funny!

I would take Clegg ahead of Ruml right now!

Seem's a daft rule as a club could potentially benefit by a rider missing one of the first 4 matches for his club, as it could assist with a team change!

Danny Phillips completed 4 matches for Coventry but hasn't been given a new ave?

It must take a lot of work to organise fixtures for the whole league, so I wouldn't complain about fairness unless I had a suggestion of who could take it over!

Number 6 gets harder races than number 7, so don't expect Phillips to be scoring many more! I.e If heat 2 Scunny get a 4-2 Phillips gets one point between oppostion, then in next 2 races he meets the 1&2 then 3&4 pairing, so can only expect him to come last! Manzares would probably get an extra race in ht 12 or 14. So Phillips would end up with a 1.33 ave just by riding to form!

My biggest issue is by saying best 2nd place team, what does that mean? Should have specifically announced it as points per match or points difference etc. Alternatively why not just have a 3 team, 3 leg final!

i'm not too sure, but since Smith was dropped from his Champ side, does he not come back into league on his most recent ave (Prem converted) i'm sure that's what happened when BWD went from Workington to Peterborough?

2 brits at reserve would make sense to me, especially using the EL "fast track" format where there were 2 reserves heats!

Jonas Jeppensen?

So Pirates fans would you like Charles Wright (6.29) in your team now he's been dropped by Somerset? Who would he replace though?

If that's true means Swindon could drop Nick Morris & sign him a week later on a converted champ ave of 6.80!

Now that Starke doesn't have a Prem team, he would come in on his converted Champ ave (4.62) I believe? So Shanes would then be 3.32!

I think the lower NL limit will only lead to riders struggling to make the step up to the Champ! Even if they're scoring well that may only be due to riding in a weaker league, not improving as riders! Look at the likes of Phillips and Bickley struggling in the Champ, shows how big the gap is!

Using their most up to date figures they fit, but that will change with matches due to be raced before the cut-off & a 26 match rolling ave replacing the current 28 match rolling ave!

So July aves should be? Kenneth Bjerre 7.54 Hans Andersen 7.42 Kristian Pieszczek 6.50 Danny King 6.46 Kyle Newman 5.23 Todd Kurtz 4.02 James Sarjeant 3.00 Total 40.17 Leaving 2.33 to strengthen up! I'd agree Eric Riss or Lasse Bjerre seem best options!

Ben Morley would come into Prem on a 3.97 ave (5.16 / 1.3) wouldn't fit in place of Clegg!

I think British Speedway got it right! Only Swindon would have to move from a Thursday (if they were forced too), but Poole, King's Lynn, Redcar, Sheffield & Ipswich would be have to move their race nights if Prem was Mon & Thurs! I think putting 5 British teams above a handful of Danish riders is the right thing to do for British Speedway!
