Dont think they are, we can choose so can change it match on match if we want.

 

Even at the start of the season (when riders can't be split by the criteria Alan points out) you can't move riders up and down from reserve meeting by meeting as you would have to declare the order you want them in and they stay like that until the averages change ie Birmingham declared Banks 5th in the averages at the start of the season so he had to stay in the top 5 until Wajtknecht and/or Wilson's average went above him.

Alan_Jones is correct. Unless 3DP separates the riders, where the riders have a previous MA, then the highest place rider from the previous issue retains the higher position. So if they're the same on 3DP, Georgie must stay at reserve. Assuming, of course, the SCB are upholding their own rules. ;)

A win away from home!!

Yep, kind of expected though.

Should be able to protect that lead at home I reckon!

 

Shame about David if he has broken his ankle.

Sods law that he drops to 3rd in the averages on 1st July so we cant use Bradley as an R/R ride!

The national league for devloping young British talent? Not having a go at Ben Hopwood just raising the point.

You cant bring on any talent young or old with R/R xxxxx as it means an extra ride for 4 of the riders who are already struggling, chin up Pete cradley have been left behind this season but looks like Eastbourne are not going to give up a chance of being in the top 4. and if Ben ups his average :t: maybe another possible change in the team to come? and Pete come on look Danny Warwick hurt (replaced) for now, Mason out (replaced before his cast had even set), Mistake by the management turn out to be a diamond in Richard Andrews.

Ben Hopwood is 24. This coming from a Cradley fan whose side had Paul Starke (24 when rode for Cradley), Lewis Blackbird (26 when riding for Cradley), Gareth Isherwood (25), Arron Mogridge (24), Jamie Courtney (25), Byron Bekker (25), Adam Roynon (24), James White Williams (27) and Jon Armstrong (37) in recent years. Just I don't see what point your trying to raise no.

Wow, Eastbourne straight out of the blocks this morning and having Hopwood signed by the time I had finished by mid morning break.

 

Great work by the Eagles management (again!).

Just shows the professionalism and ambition at the Eagles.

Acted fast.

Unlike Kent who just bumble along !

Andrews has found some form again, Dugard looked steady yesterday, BWD is on a different level, George wood only his 12th Speedway meeting ever, Owen looks to be making steady progress again, Mattie Bates looks as if he is a dark horse, and now with Ben Hopwood looks a very strong side all the way through. Very fast work from the Eagles, also i noticed yesterday that 90% of the starts were made by the eagles, they had gone forward on a really slick starts they hit the set up well before the Kent did.

There are plenty of riders that will never progress any further than the NL but it doesn't mean they don't serve a role. There is an obsession at the moment with young riders, discovering not developing.

Whilst the occasional gem may be discovered many more are being thrown in to league racing too early and struggling either physically, financially, logistically or with just sheer inexperience. These risk becoming downhearted and lost to the sport all together rather than taking extra time to develop.
