Boxall's got talent, seen him have some decent races in the past. But surely a huge gamble, in terms of having machinery for a full season, been injury issues too, retiring mid-season etc.

 

Would love to be proved wrong, not got a great feeling about this option though.

Boxall appears a rusk even in tier 2.

Doubt anyone would take the risk.

Talented but hardly reliable.

Without seeing the list it is difficult to know if the risk is worth taking. It must depend on what the alternatives are but having been stitched up by the ridiculous decision to use PL averages we may not have any other realistic option.

Which is probably why he wasn't picked by anyone so far. I'm sure we would have had Stefan but Swindon chose before us.

However, Boxall clearly has ability and could do a good job but I agree has a worrying history.

One bike Boxall. No chance of seeing out a whole season with the Aces. Amongst other excuses, Manchester is too far from his London home.

owing to the fact BV would have either had last or last bit one pick they had nothing to lose picking Boxall. If he's crap they just pick someone else. As it is, Boxall is a better rider than Nielsen so it strengthens BV. Boxall is capable of beating any of the tier 1 riders if he takes it serious.

Agreed, a point well made.

If aces sign KK we won't have room for boxall so would need someone like

 

Simon lambert

Adam Roynon

Ash Morris

Carl Wilkinson

 

Or for me I'd take a risk on that zak fella from Birmingham. Got a very bright future him

Why don't BV sign Dakota North?

Is he going spare? I didn't realise. Perhaps a good prospect for Coventry then as he rode really well the last time he was there.

He gave 110% for Swindon and finished with a respectable average last season. I wish he had stayed at Swindonbut looks like being a journeyman now.

North would be a good signing on his current average, the issue is that he is one of the weaker riders in the HL category, so teams may be reluctant to "waste" a HL spot on him. He would probably make a good signing for whichever team signs Zengota, given that Zengota has an inflated average and North is on a deflated one, between the two of them their average would be about right.
