https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Ermolenko thats for the uneducated..
leagues top scorer multiple years as well as world titles , overseas titles , team titles.. the list is endless, Also at a time there was some very good riders
Im not a Sam fan from a punditry or team manager perspective but you cant fault his excellent record as a rider
As my original team was well under the points limit as i had included rs and Anders at 5.08 attempt number 2/3 lol based on 40 points - both have potential if Anders improves to have either zach cook or maybe bomber at reserve

Im guessing thats a fantasy team were you dont have to worry about income and expenditure... Great team but would bankrupt Oxford as potentially you have 4 number 1's who all want number 1 money
Thats an awful decision...
Both Kvech & Huckenbeck failed to make top 10 with a full season and didn't make top 6 in challenge finishing 9th and 13th...
Thats tick boxing putting kvech and huckenbeck in rather than best riders...
So now to be in worlds best 15 you just need to pick a country with poorer riders who host a GP to get a call up
Time for Tai to move on... if he really thinks he is good enough and wants it bad enough he will go through the GP challenge like everyone else...
Has he never done the GP challenge before as he knows he has a shoe in guaranteed place via Monster ??
After his poor 2023 he would surely have looked at the GP challenge as a backup in 2024
I literally have no idea how this works..
I know at the start of the season a club can approach another club to loan there rider who is a club asset to ride and the riders parent club receives a loan fee..?
so if a team has a injured rider do the have to approach the riders parent club for permission to use there rider in there team as a guest and do they pay a fee for using him ??
If they dont get a fee why do they allow it as most club will have paid there asset a fee for signing and some kind of guaranteed income for the season, so if there asset rides elsewhere and gets injured they lose a rider and potentially have to find an alternative at a cost !
Not sure if anyone else had noticed... The combined points of Doyle/Fricke is 103 which puts them in 4th place, Doyle only rode 3 meets so surely Max will be asking the question of a W/C
Far from it... ive just checked there is 2914 tickets available, lots left in every section !!
Not sure what the capacity is with the temporary stand in place ?
