So Harrison, Harris & Muff effectively replaced Jack Smith, Vinnie Foord & Harry Fletcher. It feels harsh on Smith & Fletcher to be left without a ride just because of a change of heart by Foord and/or Norris.
-
Luke Harris and Luke Harrison in the same team 😂
-
The NL average is always used. It’s only Championship x2 if there is no NL average (hence why Roynon returned to the NL on a 6.00 at Edinburgh). Unless of course, that’s also changed this winter but not been made public knowledge!
-
Why is being a third heat leader in the NL a bad thing? It’s not like he couldn’t turn the bike or couldn’t beat anybody!
-
I tend to agree. I was more questioning the decision to come up with an arbitrary figure of 5.00.
-
It follows the precedent of Clifton etc being reassessed after a significant period of time out. But it he went down to 4.50 following no specific rule and it appears that’s the same lack of logic to give Ritchings 5.00.
-
Good luck to him. It will be interesting to see how he goes compared to brother Georgie.
-
So not in the public domain then.
-
Where has this been confirmed?
-
So are we assuming that Ritchings is getting a reduction on his average? That potentially Oxford didn’t know about and Birmingham haven’t made public. Otherwise the Bulls team is over the limit.
-
It’s a formidable top 2! There’s unfortunately some pressure on Wirtzfeld and Ward to step up into that third heat leader role. Yes it’s a development league, but riders and fans don’t want repeated home losses. But fair play to bringing 3 new riders into the league and let’s see how they do and are hopefully given the security of a full season. And finally, best of luck to the former IOW riders.

KL team revealed today then.

Nice to see Perry back after a disruptive year for him. He seems a nice guy with good potential and I’m sure he can push Trigger for that number 1 spot. A top heavy team, but lots of potential throughout the team. Headlined at the bottom end by Rushen but even Springer had a fantastic first year that kind of went unnoticed given how strong the Cubs team was overall.
-
There’s been no official comment by KL on anything regarding their NT team so far.
-
Yep rules should be consistent and follow precedents set like your Clifton example. Even this coming season, Edinburgh have got Palovaara back on a reduced average after a similar period of time away from British speedway. Yet Ritchings has been away from all speedway.
