It would Be because he was a 28 day replacement. Steve Brum is correct

I think you are missing the point here. The discussion is what should constitutes a British rider. Is it based on bring born here? Holding a british passport? British residency? Passport plus having never represented another country? Not really true that it is the bigger nation who benefits. Take rugby and rugby league. Often you will have players who have represented the all blacks turning out for pacific island nations later in their careers. That benefits the smaller nations. The financial benefitvofcplaying for nz compared to the smaller nations is immense, if you took away this option players would still not represent the island nations earlier in their career. Not true. Simply introduce a rule that say's an legibility requirement is not having represented any other nation internationally. Not true, as the comments below indicate.And to be clear - you therefore don't consider mark loram a British world champion but do consider Jason crump to be one?

I would expect it would simply be his last average. Was that 8.something?

I'm quite capable of reading thanks Gluestix. It's all very well the author writing that, but Bast hardly impressed in his international forays. And fact is he didn't prove himself at the highest level regardless of talent. Jelly man didn't do his talent justice but he achieved far more than bast.

Only 4 riders in the league are averaging 9, so to say lambert should be is a shade harsh. Realistically 8 would be a good achievement given he's riding a lot in heat 15. KLs issue has been form of holder and to a lesser extent porsing.

Cracking Gp. Kudos to Doyle, assuming they stay fit looks like he and dudek will battle it out for the title. Still want Tai or Emil to win, but looks unlikely, so would be happy enough to see Doyle win it, would be deserved after being the best rider last year but missing out. Racing in GPs has been superb the last few seasons, highlights what a great sport this is.

Obvious omission from that list is Cordy Milnes. Struggle to see how schwartz gets ranked ahead of Sigalos. I'd leave out Bast and Schwarrz for milne and Siggy Top 5 Hancock Penhall Sprouts Elder J Milne Ermolenko

R/r for anyone 2-5

fair enough.Specifically was it the way he ditched the heathens (handing Aces the title which surely was a good thing!)? Or bowing out on home soil as double world chsmpion, to pursue a career in Hollywood rather than Dudley Wood?

if we put you on ignore though Starry we'd miss the most hilarious postings on the BSF...

But wolves wouldn't need to register declare, they could use guest/rr.They also wouldn't be bring penalised, just made to adhere to the same points limit as other teams. And of course, on most sports if your star is injured you are disadvantaged.

is that due to the white City incident?If it is, is there a reason you don't feel similarly to ermolenko and Hancock?

I'll take that as well, though with Brigg ahead of Moore.And if I was being unbiased I'd probably have to include Mitch ahead of Larry - but clearly I'm not unbiased!

did Hamill race in the BL? Milne didnt Hancock has just 1 and a half seasons decent list, but for the other USA thread?

No Penhall!?!

Or make the limit a little higher, but say that any re declaration must be no higher than that limit ie remove like for like swaps as an option

Emily then pkechanov for me, but can see the argument the other way. G Laguta would be 3rd imo.then samorodov and kurilenko.

Are we basing this on their performance in the BL? Or the best tanks to have ridden BL? Or best yanks in the BL era (65-90). Each of those could have quite different results. As an example, under 1 then likely Bobby schmaltz would rank ahead of jelly man. Under 2, you'd have to include Hancock. Assuming you mean 3 I'll go: Penh all S Moran Sigalos Autrey Ermolenko Would love to include Kelly Moray but couldn't justify him ahead of the above. So slot him in 6th to be followed by Boogaloo, Lance King, John Cook and Ron Preston.

Thing is you don't have enough points to use to get a decent number 7. Batch Lambert Huckenbeck and Rose all doing their jobs. Holder has been disappointing, but not just for KL, but tbh there are probably not better options available. Porsing was disappointing and been replaced. No 7 you had resolved the issue and unlucky that lambert, who was on a bargain average, got injured and cannot be adequately covered by guest. Really only potential change would be replacing Jorgensen and if points then allowed upgrading number 7.

Realistically behind the top 5 and also Knudsen and puk? Rounding out the top 10 along with maybe hans Andersen and Bo peep?

How did it? The KL meeting isn't included in the latest set of averages, and his average was already too high to replace any of the Robins outside the top 3. I guess a zero score may have meant come the next set of averages it may have been low enough but that would also depend on Robins scores between now and then.

Not necessarily. 1 point more by beating an additional opposition rider in the greats they ride together and/or 1 more point in the heat he isn't partnered by bjerre.
