Well I'm man enough to say brilliant from bomber in 13 and 15 when pressure was on. Long way to getting back in my good books ha. Looks like 5 HLs and 2 reserves at home, think need to take Tom away from no.5. good last ride from Lee think once gets bit more dialled in will be a decent reserve. Monarchs a 3 man team as predicted

How to quickly erase 4 years of good will. Silly move

Never doubted him away from ashfield, his home performances were the problem

Realistically only cookie, Pickering and to a lesser extent Thomson should be competitive today. If Harris is going to start proving the doubters wrong (chief among them being me!) Then he's going to have to beat cook and Pickering today. 53-37 shouldn't be an unrealistic expectation imo

What does that make the riders he beat at their own track then

Think that's a pretty decent scoreline on what will probably be our worst track this season given the side we have put together. Nice to see Marcin win a race "at snails pace" in the same time as Harris and Cook in same meeting

Kind of minimum expected against worst bottom 4 in the league surely?

Raised the question of why must the highest average ride at 1? Shane rode at 3 and 5 vast majority of his time in the stripes, I believe he hated riding at 1 memory serves. Yes it means top riders clash in heat one but given best racing occurs generally later in the meeting is this best time for them to clash?

Those were his Leicester bikes, 3rd ride was his Glasgow equipment

He started there last season because ulle was coming back from injury and Ben was still on a 5. He must be happy there is my only guess. When/ if Ben gets to no.1 I'd guess bomber would go to 5 and Tom move at that point

Quite hard to call, top 3 pretty evenly matched, maybe we have the advantage at 2nd string but not necessarily around armadale. Come down to reserves imo, would take 6-10 defeat given the bonus point is back

Yeah absolutely true. I could be wrong but sure I read he only came with one engine in 2021 everything else was borrowed and was just too powerful. On his own gear I'd hope to see an improvement... Even at armadale lol

Nowak been riding at a higher level in Poland than guys like masters, Pickering and Douglas. While that's comparing apples and oranges he should really be making a mockery of a 5 in our 2nd Division

Believe that was reason play offs were introduced in champ because from about June onwards was pretty obvious we were strolling the league wasn't anything for rest to play for. Was helluva side but teams were often beaten when they arrived wasn't the most exciting season.

Have to say after watching some of the videos and interviews on the club's twitter I'm getting really excited about this season. I always thought Ben might drop a bit start of this season but was flying for Peterborough the other night beating doyle and Emil. Potentially best 2nd strings in the league now Marcin has his own gear over hopefully see better performances away from home. And Lee seems proper fired up to get out reserve Berth which would be some achievement in that side. And even if we don't win the league ashfield going to be the place for entertainment this season!!

Not sure how I feel about new race suits. Better than last year but wish we'd go back to the traditional tiger not the cartoon

Aye that's one I'm thinking of

0.75 of Kennedy's average

Presumably would be allowed a guest up to 0.75 as Glasgow and Poole were in 2021 for Novak and the Czech?

It never was my strong suit!! Fat fingers and a phone calculator was never going to get it right

Yeah did it from bspl comes to 39.9 so as normski says 4.39. don't see much on that average new Aussie or run with a jack Smith or equivalent start of season?

Was that complin, had in my head was someone else for some reason.

Tbf was going with confirmed signings thread, Kennedy 4.27 and they were 0.26 under the 40. 4.53 by my dodgy maths but the thread may be wrong

Think they'd have about 4.50 to replace him Kemps nearer 5 is he not?

Pijper or clegg off top of my head?
