im surprised the points limit wasnt lowered to something around 34-36 for the coming season at the agm due to the fact that so few riders are available for the nl this coming season. If i was in charge i would make it mandatory to have two 3 pointers at reserve, as well as changing the rules to any british rider under the age of 21 to be able to compete in the nl regardless of average. would allow ellis who has just missed out in only his second season of racing to be allowed for at least another year.
The rule states that the parent club gets priority, but as Lambert isnt an asset of any of the clubs (still an asset of Kings Lynn i believe), i reckon Birmingham will get the priority.
lambert and smart are funny inclusions. been going backwards for a few years, not really the sort of riders who they were looking for in the draft i think. definitely just there to make up the numbers.
maybe they agreed to sign up for the deal, but didnt actually agree to being placed wherever? agreed, it is a super opportunity for them, but i reckon a few of them thought they could sign to a club a bit closer to home.
