another gem missed off the agm statement - the Mario Kart tactical.

Note to Presenter - to keep everyone from arguing just put in an order for 7 UN flags!

this is where I have concerns. Surely when the BSPA meet with the government authorities they will be confirming a 7 point average will be applied rather than arguing for a continuation at 5.If they do argue for a 5 and it remains it makes the agm decisions and subsequent team plans invalid. It would also open up accusations of murky conspiracys and double dealing.

cant blame Somerset for a thread on here not being changed!Its down to the author of the thread to update the OP. Point the finger in the right direction.

sober as a jugde! The 'best' would be a champagne supernova dream season so wouldnt expect any to do that - even if 1 did it would be a real bonus. The 'worst' are perhaps more realistic for an individual poor season which again you wouldnt expect from all in one go but each team will likely have at least 1 rider that has 'one of those years' A range of under 40 to over 50 so it was always going to look a bit extreme one way or the other!

no!

Last year I did a best/worst rider profile so here goes again. Danny - Could be up there as a challenger for the PL no1 no1 - 10+ or if the PL is just a top up to his regular job in the EL he will stand still - 8.5 Rohan - Could increase his average as he has done each year so far especially without the pressure of being at no1 - 9+ or he has found a level and loses interest - 7.5 Gino - Becomes the true heat leader many hope he can be - 7.5 or doesnt cut out the mistakes andstruggles -5.5 Cam - Returns to his 2013 form and kicks on - 7.25 or turns into just a solid team man - 5.5 Ritchie - Continues to revel in the captains role - 5.75 or rides like he has signed for Edinburgh - 4.5 Nico - KEY MAN - could be this years Sedgman. Has the ability but not all are convinced he will prove it - 7+ or instead does a Makinen - 4.5 Stefan - gets into the groove and scores confidently - 5.0 or suffers falls and mechanical gremlins to slip away - 3.75.

Id guess at Hartel being favourite from the comments so far.

can see your point but existing visa holders could legitimately be considered differently to new applicants in terms of not increasing the numbers further as a 'saturation point' has bern reached.

so if Worrall is dropped and has no team place that wouldnt be about not being up to quality would it? It would be a direct Brit out - visa rider in.

should a visa be issued at all regardless of average if it means a British rider is dropped?

Generally to be in the mix the team average has to rise by 4-5 points ending up 47+ So we would need 9,8,7,7,6,6,4 which is certainly possible. If you cant be positive pre season its gonna be a long year! Only 3 months to go - up the Witches!

Watching the video was heartbreaking,humbling and inspirational in equal measure. I have no doubt fans from all over will do their bit whether they can attend Rickys big day or not. Heres hoping all that he needs can be provided.

just as I thought! wink

convenience

Dont have any full results but know that Cam Heeps took the title.

not disputing any of that.It is best that the club does run to the bugdet it can afford and make deals that safeguards the stability for yhe future. I was not claiming any deal was not good enough un relation to the norm - I know no more than anyone on that score - just that the cost ls for a young rider are huge. Without decent outside backing it is very difficult. Unfortunately Joe like many others cant make it add up which is a shame but thats the reality of life.

it seems Joe didnt think the deal he was offered was enough for him to manage with. A great shame that again a young Brit cant make it pay.

there will be 1 or 2 can always rely on Rye for a start!

Nico Covatti 4.19 Stefan Nielsen 4.34 Confirmed at Ipswich

he has now! So we get the rider with GP experience and the Brit with a foreign name. Mixed feelings for me. Covatti should murder his 4.2 average from reserve and has to give any justification for dropping Adam. Stefan is almost the forgotten talent. Two years ago many were expecting him in our side and we had the surprise of Adam instead. SA second chance for him to make a real step forward. he has now!

Since then he has stalled a bit.A second chance for him to make a real step forward. This side,unlike previous starting line ups, wont get the favourites tag IMO. Should provide real racing entertainment though and surely thats what its all about in the end.

Oui!

Do they class Germany as a professional league? Even Denmark didnt count for Brady Kurtz. Perhaps go for the best of both and sign a Brit with a foreign name!

only if they need a visa
