Barrow Boy 2

Douglas is a much better rider around Beaumont Park than he is around Monmore Green

In my final list I have included riders who would have qualified if they had not been injured and were not competing at the end. 01-Emil Sayfutdinov-Ipswich-1080 02-Robert lambert-King's Lynn-1050 03-Jack Holder-Sheffield-1040 04-Tai Woffinden-Sheffield-1015 05-Jason doyle-Ipswich-1010 06-Tobias Musielak-Sheffield-960 07-Nicolai Klindt-King's Lynn-950 08-Jamon Lidsey-Belle Vue-930 09-Max Fricke-Leicester-920 10-Brady Kurtz-Belle Vue-910 11-Dan Bewley-Belle Vue-830 12-Danny King-Ipswich-825 13-Josh Pickering-Sheffield-815 14-Artem Laguta-Peterborough-790 15-Ben Cook-Peterborough-770 16-Ryan Douglas-Wolverhampton-765 17-Benjamin Basso-Peterborough-750 18-Vadim Tarasenko-Peterborough-745 19-Chris Harris-Peterborough-700 20-Neils Kristian Iversen-Peterborough-680

No news yet but if Leicester continue in 2024 and remain in The BPL then I hope that Ryan Douglas will return along with Chris Harris who should not have been let go [n the first place. It all went wrong after he was exchanged for Richie Worrall.

As stated it is based on current form. To be precise riders most current 10 meetings. Points are earned based on the difficulty of certain races. Heats 13 & 15 being more rewarding than say heats 2-8 & 14.

I remember watching Guy Allott when I was just a child. Hope he is well and he enjoyed his day.

Exactly

Leicester's K/O Cup Final matches are now scheduled to be raced in October. It amazes me that with only 4 teams in this competition which has been running since April how it is once again to be completed right at the end of the season in probably less than ideal conditions. Just like last season.

Might not be a Lion Cub next season now that he's under contract to Oxford. Ironically his next match for the Cubs is on Saturday against his next season's team mates.

The average he has been given is the average he finished the 2014 season which was the last time he rode in the UK. I think.

Richie Worrall & Chris Harris have just swapped clubs and Craig Cook is to replace Troy Bachelor

Now that enough matches have been completed it is now possible to produce a list of my top 20 riders who on current form up to and including 31.7.23 are as follows;- 01 Jordon Jenkins-Oxford-1140 02 Connor bailey-Workington-1080 03 Henry Atkins-Oxford-1040 04 Alfie Bowtell-Mildenhall-1020 05 Dan Thompson-Leicester-1005 06 Max Clegg-Edinburgh-1000 07 Ryan KInsley-Oxford-970 08 Jacob Hook-Edinburgh-960 09 Lee Complin-Mildenhall-910 10 Jack Smith-Belle Vue-880 11 Sam Hagon-Belle Vue-870 12 Ashton Boughan-Leicester-865 13 James Pearson-Belle Vue-850 14 Adam Roynon-Edinburgh-845 15 Connor Coles-Berwick-810 16 Ben Morley-Kent-760 17 Greg Blair-Berwick-755 18 Danny Phillips-Berwick=740 19 Nathan Ablitt-Kent-730 20 Ben Trigger-Mildenhall-680

On Monday Eurosport's Premier League Table had Leicester as having lost 3 times this season. Surely this should have been 2. Presume they regarded the home draw against Belle Vue who won the Super Heat as a loss.

Heats 13 & 15 earn riders more points that in say heats 2-8 and 14. The harder the races the more ranking points are earned.

Presumably Team GB will comprise Tai Woffinden, Dan Bewley & Robert Lambert but who will be our 4th rider?

Dan T out. Vinnie Foord out. Will Ashton B. be missing as well ? there is a Youth Event at Edinburgh at 1-30 .
