I know Leicester is a strange track with home advantage but I would think Swindon should be able to keep any gap closer than 12 points, hopefully 6 or less.
Would not worry me if it meant that the following year a good riders average was under 8 ( ie 2018 ) therefore able to stay with and give the team some continuity.
Believe me it is not just one club doing it.
The continual race to the reducing of the league standard has got to stop.
Riders can still be paid even if they do not score points and if the bspa continue to have a low team limit certain riders might want to stay in the team for the following year rather than ride themselves out of a job..
Agreed, if we had the potential to only get 2 points instead of 3 the last race result could have been different and more exciting. Have seen a couple of meetings where it is obvious the riders are not trying 100% in heat 15 because they have won the meeting even though the lead is less than 6 points.
Swindon should win the meeting tonight.
I wonder if R Lambert is going to be better than usual at Swindon, he did very well last night and we need the young Brits to progress.
