I would have thought the most deserving riders were lambert (u21 champ) and stevie Worrall (bf runner up). Nothing against Ellis and Bates and hopefully they will get a ride apiece at some point. But for someone to suggest they deserve it Base on winning a pairs meeting stretches it a bit. Especially if the argument against lambert is that he missed the semi final...

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.

Well hecwon the British U21 chimps, which if you are giving slots to U21 riders would be the logical criteria. He's averaging a couple of points a meeting more than any other U21 rider, and that's from a hl position.He was one meeting away from qualifying for this year's gp series. He finished on the podium of world U21 champs last year, and could reasonably be expected to do the same this year. He is clearly the best British rider we have outside taI and cook, and is certainly the young brit most likely to emerge next as world class. I could add more reasons if you like?

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.

So Cook confirmed as wild card for Cardiff with Ellis and Bates as reserve. Anyone know what Lambert has done not to be given one if they are being given to U21 riders?

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.

Who would you have put Newman in for?

Premiership averages now apply to premiership. Championship averages to the championship. A conversion of 1.2 between them it seems. It would make no sense now for an average to apply to both given that the pl is 25% harder.

Id be pleasantly surprised if tungate gets double figures each week at the nss. I'd be more than happy with 8 at home and 6 away.But even if he scores 10 home and 5 away, come end of season he will be on a sub 7 average which will be attractive enough. Sedgeman hasn't done well at belle vue (obviously he did last night), that's why he is out of a job. Expect him to be signed by someone as on 5.5 he offers potential to improve

I don't think the change is hard to understand at all. Sedge is averaging around 5, tungate should average 1-2 more than that.

Probably the same reasons that saw him rank Mike bast in the top 20 riders of all time...Fwiw I agree with the OPs list and order Id say Sid the top 3 are all in the top 15 of all time and quite possibly dirty nicki as well.

Are you looking at the premiership averages or the championship averages?If a rider was currently riding only premiership I assume a 1.2 multiplier would be added if they moved to CL. Of course it should be 1.25 but this is bspa maths we are talking about!

Even if Tungate averaged 8 force rest of the season it will mean he ends on averge around 7 which wouldn't make him too unattractive. Sedgman would fit for BWD I believe, but not as a replacement for gappmaier - though a couple of poor meetings could change that.

i thin Steve Brum must have borrowed the BSPA calculator!
