    And might in turn require additional guests.
  2. arnieg
    So you should be, a great prospect

    And with 6 teams riding every week, how long before someone starts cancelling matches because they can't get decent guests (having only one team* to chose from) * auto correct changed this to tea machine!!!

    And yet an awful lot of people take American sports seriously, despite numerous ways in which weaker teams are given a 'helping hand' (draft picks, revenue sharing, salary caps etc). Without support for weaker teams many tracks would have closed at some point in the past and in all likelihood been permanently lost to the sport, thus accelerating the sport's decline.

    Many riders don't peak until 30+ these days. Cook added a whole point to his PL average in 2024 ... and a whole point to his CL average in 2024 .. and in Poland averaged more than Lindgren, Doyle, Lidsey, Michelsen and Woffinden (and was a mere 0.01 below Jack Holder) => plenty of scope for further improvement in his British scoring.

    It is also worth noting that it has taken Thompson two years less to do this so the case is far from closed. They both had good seasons, they both showed plenty of promise, and I hope they both have successful careers ahead of them.

    It's the one where in the regular season Gusrow finished top and Stralsund second. Then in the final Gustrow (lead by Timo Lahti) beat Stralsund. As a result Stralsund got a silver medal, .. and a wooden spoon.

    Have you seen the Bundesliga lately?

    But you are taking a single year. Since 2021 Dan has gone from 5.05 to 7.55. A lot of people were describing Dan as 'going nowhere, progress stalled etc' a year ago (which is one of thre reasons I think people should stop slagging Flint off). Dan got back on track this season, but Edwards has never been 'off track' hence he's improved by more than Thompson.

    He rode 18 matches for Oxford in BL2 (the second-half junior league). As far as I know he never made it to the British or National Leagues. He rode 3 seasons for Oxford juniors, 86 to 88

    But as Oxford don't ride their home matches at Lynn I would expect his home average to plummet.

    I would never sign a rider with a 4 point home/away differential Home av 6.98 Away av 2.76

    George Hislop was a regular second-halfer at Edinburgh in 1988 Are you sure about the Oxford date? Is it the SEMI FINAL on 8 May 1988. Ian Batley was a regulqar second-halfer at Oxford that year though The Long Eaton date is 1985 and David Biles of Poole is listed at no 15 in the programme.

    Well two Championship managers are frequently critiqued for making (or not making) various tactical moves. E.g forgetting to put two riders in a race Not using a tac sub in ht 14 Failing to give their best rider an r/r ride!
