So in the space of 24 hours Scunny disband the NL side and sign a foreign teenager.

 

Long live British Speedway!

thats a classic from an Ipswich fan!!

my post wasnt meant to be a pop at Scunny - no other club has done as much in recent times to provide opportunties for new British riders.

 

It was much more a lament at the continuing erosion generally.

 

By the way Ipswich has a decent record of using/nurturing British riders when measured against the norm. Certainly when taking into account restrictive stadium use conditions which means any practice outside meeting days is impossible.

All depends if any league he has ridden in enough for an average is classed as professional. Will make the difference between 7 and 5

 

Looking at his records he has mostly rode in Finland and Estonia.

 

Rode one meeting in Poland for Lodz in the Polish League and a challenge match for Lodz as well.

 

 

My guess is he will be on an assessed average of 5.

Cat 3:5.00

Finland and Estonia won't come under the "professional league" banner will they? And if has only ridden 1 official match for Lodz, then I'm assuming he won't have an established average, so I'm guessing he will be in category 3, so will be on a 5.00 average.

the Danish league wasnt professional enough going by the Brady Kurtz assessment last year so dont see that he should be anything other than a 5.
