Who's Got The Best Reserve?


Recommended Posts

There is only ONE outstanding rider on the draft - Jason Garrity.

Best PAIRING - Kings Lynn with Wolves close 2nd.

To add to this thread I was going to say we have the best pairing then I did some digging into some data and now I'm worried

 

Kerr's NL performances in the crucial heats 13 & 15 were abysmal and he's going to be facing similar or better every race this season. In the PL he only really switch up a gear from about August with most the top performances being at home and spent all season in reserve.

 

Looking at performances against other No'6's or A graders he has gone missing in the past

 

Neilson

Garrity

Newman

Blackbird

Ellis

Morris

 

Hmmmmm, I just hope I've just over thought this

NLRC?

 

Lewis will be fine, he's been riding for less time than most of the other reserves yet his PL average is bettered only by Garrity, the likes of Newman & Morris have been riding PL for a few seasons yet Lewis has bettered their figures in his first year.

 

I'm hoping this is an elaborate plot of yours to take the pressure off him :D

Has pretty good experience riding at reserve at EL level, which gives him a head start over the majority of his rivals.

Perhaps initially but there are better riders in the draft who will have outscored him come the end of the season IMO.

Bates shouldn't be allowed to replace anybody once he rejected a team place, there are other riders on the list for any required changes.

Nice try Bagpuss!! :t:

 

The only reason Bates 'rejected' a team place was because of the clash of race nights!!!!

Lewis Kerr went from a 3 point novice to a 6.09 rider at a track he had never seen before and was the complete opposite of his home NL track. The lad was learning at a phenomenol rate and at 6.09 would have been in the top 5 of most teams in the PL. I wouldn't worry. I'm delighted he's back at Newcastle this season and would expect he was probably #1 on most fans wish lists for 2014.

Irrelevant, you can't have riders swapping teams for any reason, ruins the integrity of the whole draft unless its something that all ten teams agree on perhaps.

 

Surely Poole aren't pulling stunts before the season has even started? Not really a surprise though thinking about it.

Surely Newman is the best reserve?

 

From an EL experience perspective possibly.

 

I think Simon Rambo Lambo will surprise everyone and finally come of age this year.

 

 

He isn't at reserve tho, as the thread suggests.
