Teams Looking For New Riders! - From Where Exactly?


Recommended Posts

Here are some of the riders that are available:

 

Taylor Poole

 

Dakota North (for a PL place)

 

Jesper B Monberg

 

Matt Tresarrieu

 

Claes Nerdermark

 

Magnus Karlsson/Adam Roynon

 

Ryan Fisher (for a PL place)

 

Josef Franc

 

Emiliano Sanchez

Some good riders that would score some good points for some of the teams looking to make a change.

 

 

Unfortunately the rolling averages seem to have pushed a number of riders out of the Premier League , but your list ought to include:

 

Jordan Frampton, Lee Complin, Gino Manzares, Hynek Stichauer, James Holder, Richard Sweetman, Andre Compton....

and for the same reason as your Karlsson / Roynon post - Ricky Ashworth / Eddie(ward) Kennett.

Part of the problem for us armchair team managers s that we dont have the true averages of those available to hand.

 

All those mentioned that rode last year will now have a different average to that at the end of last year despite not riding due to the number of meeting included in the calculation being reduced.

 

Six meetings have fallen off the sample six which could make for a significant swing - up or down.

Jordan Frampton has retired ... I bought his kit towards the end of last season

Well, if small, out-in-the-country clubs like Berwick and Plymouth can bring in riders of the calibre of Eddie Kennett and Michael Bech, there can be no excuse for the city tracks, with better (potential) fanbases to find riders when and if they feel the need to change.

Don't really see how where you are based has got to do with the Calibre of rider you sign.

 

Mainly it is going to be down to what your club can afford to pay out on a rider without bursting the bank.

I'd suggest that city tracks have a lower potential fan base due to the number of other local attractions.

Not much else to do in Berwick on a Saturday night, speedway and/or sheep.

When was the last time you saw a sheep in the pub there after 10pm? ;)

Complin gave up speedway because he couldn't make it pay and has a full time job. Still has his bikes though I believe

Frampton, Complins, Sweetman and Compton have all retired. holde ris no great loss, he's a 4 point reserve. And Stichauer is hardly a loss but there will always be riders who miss out, there always have been and always will.

 

Ben Wilson?
But didnt he retire and is now trying to make a come back? He can't expect to walk back into a team. If he's seruous about wanting to come back someone will pick him up soon, I'm sure.

I'm surprised no one has considered Kalle Katajisto. I know that he hardly covered himself in glory in his last season with Edinburgh, but his scores in the Swedish Allsvenskan League and in Finland in the past year would be worthy of consideration. In addition, to the best of my knowledge he lost his team place at Rospiggarna before the start of the season through team changes and no fault of his own, so aside from his Finnish commitments he should be available.

I'm sure it would.

 

BUT - you didn't keep Lewis Kerr and now the 'Diamonds' are reaping the benefits.

 

He really does look like a Class Act.

 

And both way Kings Lynn are :)
