Aces 2014


Recommended Posts

I thought the same so I checked last years rule book and it does state that all commonwealth and American riders come into the EL on a 3 average and PL on a 5

Beat me to it. Lol

Thanks screamer that puts my doubts to bed Zagar and Manzares it is then

It's what every aces fan wants ;)

Zagar

Cook

Nicholls

Worrall

Manzares

 

Will most likely be our 1-4. That's 5 English riders which is good going

 

Much as I'd love Zagar, isn't he ( a ) unlikely to be interested in the 2014 EL due to the increased fixtures and ( b ) likely to be too expensive?

Yeh in ute commenwealth riders come in on a 3 in the EL and 5 in the PL

 

with America being in the commenwealth then im assuming he will come in on a 3

 

 

Somebody had better tell the Americans. :shock: :shock:

 

They are a bit sensitive about that sort of thing. :shock:;)

Oh right. Are they not. Anyway as I understand it he will be coming on a 3 point average if he was to ride EL and that's from a promoter

Our teams a lot cheaper than last and we afforded Zagar even paying him on time and other riders. He will be with the aces. Keep your eyes peeled this week ;)

Zagar Cook Nicholls Worrall Gino comes to 32.01 without reduction but think Gino would be over powered in the EL

Yes without the reduction Zagar can't fit. But as you will all find out next week worralls average has been reduced by 2.5%

From what I have seen of him he is better than any of our National league riders and with our proposed top 4 as long as he beats them he will be doing a good job and give him a few weeks to get dialled into our track and he will beat a few second srings as well.

He's dialled into our track already. He's very quick around it

I'm hearing Manzares is PL bound..

I heard that too - in fact I was told he has tweeted it himself.

 

As a side issue I belilieve no foreign rider should come in on a 3.

 

What is the point of taking action to help British youngsters and then then assessing foreigners who have ridden in SWC in on a 3?

I've always thought it's crazy basing an assessed average on a riders nationality. Every rider, no matter where they come from, should be assessed on their achievements, talent and potential.

I think they are.

 

Manzares would be an EL 3.00 because he's never been in the G.P., never won his National title, and never ridden in British, Polish or Swedish leagues..

The stumbling block with Gino is he wants PL. think Ipswich and Edinburgh are in for him as well but prob be a belle Vue asset

 

Birks has been spoken to but he won't want just EL unless we pay him well I suppose

I live in the US and most of them haven't a clue that there is a world beyond the Eastern Seaboard. Remember that the domestic baseball awards the "World Series" trophy. :lol: Nice people though. :t: Regards. Alan.

Andersen and Havelock? Havelock has accused Andersen of depriving Rico's kids of a World Cip winners medal to remember their father by. And now he is going to manage him?

Did Havelock really say that because if I was Hans I wouldn't want to be near him if true?.

Ashley would be mad to ride just in the EL & that shows how certain young British riders have been let down again.

They are very nice people Alan - but - they are passionately independent. They remember the Founding Fathers, The War of Independence (from Great Britain) and the War of 1812.

 

I don't think they would believe being accused of belonging to our Commonwealth was a compliment. :shock: :shock:

 

Best

 

Ian.
