That’s what you get when you set a 42 point team ave fill the top end with big riders and just see who’s left on a 2/3 to fill the bottom end they should introduce 2 even 3 reserve races and the reserves should then race the middle order
It cost over £8k for a new mx bike theses days £5k for a decent second had one and parents pay around £50 every weekend to race so speedway is pretty cheap and can be run on a budget, a decent well serviced engine for a nl rider should do 40 heats if it is looked after before it needs a service .
I think this year is going to go down to the wire and bonus points will make all the difference for all teams. I Agree about Poole young reserves they might struggle if they can’t gate at Poole and might find it hard to pass stronger reserves. I think Worky and Edinburgh could be the dark horses and at Glasgow it will all depend how the track rides too slick and they will struggle for bonus points and if it’s got plenty grip like the last few meetings like the semi final and final last season they will get plenty bonus points and be hard to beat at home
14 clubs 2 home 2away maybe chuck in a cup completion would give riders more meeting than if they were doubling up so would earn more money I don’t think any rider riding in the championship earns double the money riding premiership either
Pretty sure Middlesbrough/Redcar will be one Buxton Leicester Oxford kings lynn possibly Edinburgh and belle vue and one other from what I hear so maybe 6/7/8 teams is there enough riders for one league
