I'd love Jason Garrity back, not just for his riding but his enthusiasm in the pits. And why not have Sarj as well. Keeping the two would certainly aid their development and build a comminality with the fans.

 

Keep the triple H (Hans, Harris & Howarth) and fill the gaps with another heat leader class rider and take a gamble on someone with a low average.

Completely agree

I was very disappointed with Anderson towards the end of the season, if he didn't make the gate that was it. I would much prefer a team of racers and a number one that does not give up. Bomber, Garrity, Sarjeant and Howarth would be first on my team sheet, all good entertaining riders. Personally I think we need a new number one, I would love to see AJ back, but I question if he would have the commitment. I suppose much depends on finances this year as to the make up of the team, especially at the top end.

Surely andersen cannot be considered a number one anymore

 

His hard overtaking moves are a thing of the past - a gating tart now who loses to some woeful riders if they out gate him.

 

Also went completely missing at the business end of 2014

 

Surely the cov management should be doing all in their power to tempt jonsson and harris back

 

Jonsson, harris, scheiln as top 3 and roynon and sargeant as reserves then fill in the gaps

 

 

Looks good to me

Jonsson may get an average reduction now he hasn't ridden here for a few years and it's much more difficult for heat leader these days.

 

1 Andersen

2 Howarth

3 King

4 Michelsen

5 Harris

6 Roynon

7 Sarjeant

 

In an ideal world I'd try and sign Kildemand or Tai at number 1, if they do stay in Britain the teams that sign them will have a bargain on their hands.

1. Andreas jonsson 9.66

2. Kyle howarth 5.27

3. Mads korneliussen 5.95

4. Kim nilsson 5.63

5. Chris harris 7.49

How many teams are you including Mads in, Steven101???

 

You've got riding for Swindon, KL and Coventry so far?!! ( I suppose I'll have to wait for school to finish/break to get a reply!!) :P

Hans may not be the rider he once was but he was 4th in the EL averages in 2014 - looks like number 1 to me. OK he's not got the same aggressive streak any more and does very little over taking but he can still fly out of the starts. As for AJ, really? The guy has gone off the boil so much over the last few season so to get his 9.6 average even in the old format would be difficult but in the current format he'd drop a point a a half before he even started, Hans would have to drop to 7 to be that bad and I don't see that happening.

Aj is the world #6, where is andersen?

 

Aj would still be a top scorer in the uk and is a racer meaning he would overtake some of the dross andersen couldnt when behind them.

 

Andersen is on a downward spiral - and was abysmal in the play offs

I don't doubt that AJ is the better rider. Or the far more exciting rider. But one signs on 9.66 and the other on 8.3. AJ is not 1.3 points a meeting better than Hans IMO. Hans has been at the same level for about 4 years now, he settled down and thats fine by me.

 

If they were both on the same average, or even within half a point I'd pick AJ every time.

I think AJ is capable of maintaining a near 9 figure.

 

Andersen never wants to know if he doesnt like the track and heard he is very unpopular amongst team mates wherever he rides.

 

A team with AJ and harris spearheading it would excite me much more as a Coventry fan.

 

I know what you mean regarding averages but for a number one rider id rather a the best rider we could get regardless of averages

 

When Lanham was newports number one on 7.5 id rather us sign a 10 pointer whod average 9 rather than keep him at number one and have him maintain his average.
