Been on the old vino bruv ? :drink::D

sober as a jugde!

 

The 'best' would be a champagne supernova dream season so wouldnt expect any to do that - even if 1 did it would be a real bonus.

 

The 'worst' are perhaps more realistic for an individual poor season which again you wouldnt expect from all in one go but each team will likely have at least 1 rider that has 'one of those years'

 

A range of under 40 to over 50 so it was always going to look a bit extreme one way or the other!

Just to be clear, and facts straighter than a straight thing Nico Covatti was born in Coronal Pringles in Argentina. Who he rides for in SWC, or what license he rides on is just pure choice or coincidence.

So you've been clear and posted some fact eh? Shame you missed out the FACT that in the World Cup you ride for the country named in your passport under "Nationality". Nico rode for Italy, thus he must be Italian. License is, as you say, choice, anyone can take out any license they wish (to some extent) but you can only get a passport for a country if you qualify for it. Nico has an Italian passport, he must be Italian.

 

in the same way,Rune Holta is now Polish, he changed his nationality.

 

As for quoting Wikipedia. Please, do me a favour.The site is full of errors. But, if we're going to use Wikipedia as some sort of guide, it tells us Covatti is Argentiain and then that he raced for Italy but tlls us Rune Holta is Norwegian in the write up but Polish on the right as he has Polish citizenship now - the same way Nico has Italain citizenship.

You won't let this go, will you?

 

Nico Covatti is an Argentine citizen, holding an Argentine passport. Born and bred. Speaks Spanish, not Italian.

 

He also qualifies (by some dubious means) for an Italian passport. Dual nationality, ever heard of it?

 

That he races as an Italian in the WTC is due to Armando Castagna being sharp enough to grab him for Italy, as the Argies don't have a team of their own.

BINGO!

 

So, when you posted, "He's from Argentina. If you must snipe at the hard-working promotion, at least use the correct bullets." to the p[erson who suggested getting an Italian flag you now admit that the Italian flag is NOT incorrect.

 

Nobody has ever said there is no Argentinian in him - go back an check if you like - just that he IS Italian as you have just agreed to.

 

As for, "You won't let this go", until I posted this, you'd had the last word, you were continuing the discussion as much as I was ;)

I am told Cam wont be competing in the Aussie Finals despite winning the WA state champs.

 

I think thats a shame if it turns out to be the case. It would be good to see him test himself in that line up.

No details but Id imagine the logistics of travel and cost.

 

Its quite an undertaking from the west coast to drive to NSW and base yourself there for 10 days or so.

But if you want your career to kickon it's what you have to do. Could he be hitting the GB rounds instead possibly an easier route to get further.IMO there are very few titles to win U21 National and World. Then the Big One.

Covatti 4.19

Lykke Nielsen 4.65

 

I know who's got the best deal

I think Ipswich have the deal of the century but I cannot understand how on that average. As far as I can see, Covatti has ridden only in the EL so has no PL average to carry forward into the 2015 season. In 2014 he joined Birmingham partway through their short existence on his 2013 average of 4.50 which he improved to 4.52 by the time they closed down. So, can anyone explain why he comes in on 4.19 and not his converted EL average of 7.23 (4.52 x 1.6)?

he rode for sheffield last season and was pretty poor hence why he attained a 4.19 average.
