Wolverhampton 2013


Recommended Posts

Common sense... Riding in the main body of the team is completely different to being at reserve.

Anyone who thinks Wells will end up with a GSA of around 6.50 is extremely optimistic.

 

Unless he misses tons of away meetings and the majority of his meetings are at home, It won't happen.

 

Care to let me know how he got on riding in the main body of the team last season?

Not that well. Even Klindt/King/Kennett/Kildemand didn't reach a 7pt average . Ricky may well reach 5.and a bit but anymore will be a massive achievement.

Superguest, you must keep up!

 

Solely from his rides at no 4 last season Ricky Wells scored 76pts, 7 bpts,, from 49 rides. Giving an average of 6.20 without BP. 6.78 with.

 

Case closed.

 

Strangely all gone quiet since the stats prove the point. :t:

Home and away split?

 

I just don't see that sort of improvement, obviously I'd love to be proved wrong.

It would be great if Ricky was able to put onto his average.

The evidence is that he could hit 6 from the main team and i see no reason why he won't improve a little on his starting average.

 

With maybe a little more from Proctor we really need the big guns and the bottom 2 to make the bigger improvements.

Nicolai Klindt scored 80 from 60 rides for Wolves last season so he onl averaged 5.33 and the form he was in at the end of the season, sadly I cant see him doing any better this season at Kings Lynn

 

Daniel King averaged 7.47 at Birmingham while Kildemand rode in 32 meetings for Swindon, scoring 269 points and 26 bonus points from 148 rides averaging 7.27 without bonus and 7.97 with bonus points. ....... Thats partly due to the 44 points scored in the play offs dont count on the averages.

 

Ricky has proved he can average six plus from the main body and if you couldn't recognise thje difference in the rider that started 2012 and the rider that finished 2012 then you obviously were watching the wrong rider and getting him confused with Nicolai ?

Regarding the home / away ratio ..... Ricky rode in 12 meetings at Monmore Green and 12 meetings away (inc 2 guests)

 

While riding at #4 he rode in 7 home and 6 away meetings (+ 1 guest away) and still averaged over six in these meetings

 

In 2013 he is down to ride in ALL 14 league matches at Monmore but will miss roughly 4 away meetings due to clash of dates with Sheffield matches, so this season he could well ride in a bit more biased ratio ..... hence maybe 7.00 ;)

As long as he starts the season as he finished it he will be ok.

 

However he did have the first half season at reserve to build up his confidence and he won't have the luxury of that this time.

Very true, I'm by no means saying it will be easy. Just illustrating that its possible as a naysayer seemed to find it laughable.

 

Strangely they've gone quiet now though.

All quiet on this Wolves thread probably because they have a safe and reliable 1-7 which may be good enough to reach the play offs as the team looks stronger than previous seasons at home where too many points have been dropped. This will be the key to Wolves season with 42 points available on home soil, they will need to get at least 37 from these 14 matches.

 

 

Therefore I would NOT put the heat leaders at 1 and 5 but instead put them at 1 and 3 to obtain more heat advantages around Monmore as Fred and Tai both partner second strings leaving Adam Skornicki to hold down the #5 position to help out the young reserves if needed to at least get shared heats.

 

Along with Adam having the job of looking after the reserves, I would also say he is the best option to have as team captain, letting Fred and Tai concentrate on their positions of winning races with Ty and Ricky pickin up points alongside them. Should Fred regain the #1 position, Ty would move back to #2 and Ricky to #4

 

 

1 - Tai Woffinden

2 - Ricky Wells

3 - Fredrik Lindgren

4 - Ty Proctor

5 - Adam Skornicki ©

6 - Sam Masters

7 - Jacob Thorssell

I thought maybe Proctor and Wells may have been slotted in the line up somewhere TNT. Whilst appreciating there are 16 riders to fit in, but both probably need a run out at Monmore prior to the real business starts. :blink:
