Would have to be for Sarj??

Why? I thought Bates was our first reserve as higher average

Kerr and Sarj (or Bates) is much stronger than Bates and Sarj. I'd welcome the change. Would take us from weakest pairing to one of the stringer pairs.

Would love Kerr in our team if possible. But risky as he would be returning after a huge crash but very capable and would strengthen us a lot at reserve if he hit form. Would also mean he wouldn't miss meetings due to clashes

Sarj was tier 1, bates tier 2. Averages are irrelevant.

But I thought it was said that all tier 2 riders will start with a 3.00 average? Sarjeant starts with a 3 average whilst Bates starts with a higher one.

 

Where have you seen it confirmed that it's Sarjeant who is our tier 1 rider?

I haven't seen that printed anywhere, only that the tier 2 riders stay at reserve.

Cov picked Sarj first as their tier 1.

Averages are irrelevant.

Steve Worrall as tier 1 starts at reserve for the Aces whilst his brother in the main team, Steve has a higher average.

I have seen it said that Sarjeant stays at reserve throughout 2016 so that would imply that he is the tier 2 rider. I guess we will see once the lists are released.

 

As for the Worrall brothers comment, that's due to the fact one is not on the draft list.

In the Tier 1 draft six of the eight teams protected a rider and Coventry decided to protect Sarjeant for some reason and he became the #6. Then in the Tier 2 they had the first pick of who was left and picked Bates who will be at #7 all season. I do agree that Bates should be the #6 and is more likely to score the points than Sarjeant.

 

Steve Boxall doesn't have a 3.00 average and is a #7

I haven't seen anywhere that sarj is tier 2. Bates was picked from tier 2. Which I'm sure will become clear once the list is released.

No one knows anything officially but it would be strange if they graded riders by PL average yet have riders in tier 2 with higher averages than some tier 1 riders. We could have easily protected Sarj in tier 2 and got last pick in tier 1 but for some reason the bspa seem secrecy is the best policy so we might not ever know.

Where has the Kerr rumour come from?

its now official that Kings Lynn are switching to Thursdays and Lewis is to stay with the Witches and he has a new EL place lined up. Due to announce in the next few days.

Very harsh on Bates if true.

 

Wouldn't be overly surprised if it turned out being harsher on Clegg... Bates rode for Wolves last year and might fit in their team in place of Clegg, a move I wouldn't be surprised if they made. Although I think Clegg would be the better option. Not as likely to win races, but far less likely to bin it in the fence and throw away points

It must have been 4 because there were only 12 tier 1 riders to start with,

 

Ahh okay, thanks. Thought I had read that somewhere. Nielsen would be one of the other tier 2s I assume. Probably Sarjeant as the other, would be my guess
