MB723

I'm 50/50 on Flint, I'm fine if he's on the team especially if the team is built where he can ride at 3 or 4 but I'd also be completely fine if he isn't back. He showed improvement but only really near the end of the season and his consistency wasn't always the greatest.

I think as long as he doesn't get injured he'll be the favourite to win it

Would Riss not be on a converted premiership average of 8.42 since he didn't ride championship last year or am I getting the rule/calculation wrong?

We've got 99 riders but (personally) I don't think Leon is one. I don't have any inside information though so it's a guess on my part

Something like this, replacing Bailey with someone else if he isn't riding maybe? Wright 8.37 Flint 6.68 Edwards 6.18 Vuolas 6.40 Bailey 4.97 Mulford 4.27 Trigger 3.00 39.87

He's done 3 rides so he can be replaced (was probably already going to be anyway)

I don't see what Killeen was supposed to do there to avoid that

For me watching him that last meeting he wasn't afraid of the track and actually tried to fight round the outside and pass people, not many 2 pointers do that round Ashfield, he could have scored 2 points and I've have taken him

If no russians think it'll be Doyle Mikkelsen and Madsen with maybe Dudek or Janowski as the last one, though I also have a funny feeling Kvech could somehow get the wildcard

I'm sure the real money coming from riding in the GPs would be sponsors, the prize money (at least for the top riders) I'd guess is more a bonus than anything

Was more curious if fitting the top 4 together would be possible but doesn't look bad (or likely), just a bit of a long tail. Doyle 9.36 Sayfutdinov 9.12 Brennan 6.59 Musielak 8.21 D Thompson 3.11 Edwards 3.57 J Thompson RS 39.96

Kerr guested for Workington at Poole so won't be allowed

Can't be from a playoff team and can't have guested for a different playoff team in the semis I believe

Hopefully he sold his equipment he was struggling with to have a bit of a mental reset and get new stuff in for a fresh, hopefully positive, start again. Would be a shame if he packs it in now as he still has the potential to do well in the sport.

Picko just saw a close mate have what seems to have been a horror crash. I wouldn't want to be asked questions on live TV while he's still laying down on track.

Charles guested for Workington, don't think he can guest for another team unless semi guests are seperate from the final? King probably best bet as Kerr also rode for Worky

Just playing with numbers, don't think it's at all likely but would be strong: Harris - 9.07* J Thompson - 5.63* (or JP - 5.51) Boughen - 5.03* Hellstrom-Bangs - 5.00 (or any other superstar 5.00 , Bailey or Borke fit otherwise) D Thompson - 7.36* Foord - 3.90* Hodder - 2.00 =37.99 *Brit reduction

Think you'll struggle to fit 2 more riders in when those 5 already come out to 32.77

I would personally keep him but he will have a 5.51 average next season and if the point limit goes down (or even stays the same) he might be hard to fit in.

Might help him riding a track close to home, think he's been spannering for a glasgow rider (JP maybe) a bit for the last few meetings

Thing is Foord is in the Glasgow pits during meetings fairly frequently watching the meetings, so shouldn't be too much of an issue for him.

I really like James but his away form is not good enough for a 5 pointer and with whatever the points limit is I don't know if you take the risk that he'd improve. Rowe is dependant on Poland, to be honest I think we'll see him at Poole or Oxford due to that. Hodder definetly one to try and grab. Think Vinnie Foord would be good as the other reserve and it seems like he likes our track.

I've heard he's been signed, unless Glasgow are moving up and he needs a new club in the championship?

Even his helmet was shocked he was out front

You can, if it's about heat 5 being stopped before it started the ref wanted clarification on if Scott was out as a tac sub or r/r, not that Scott couldn't be out as a tac sub.
