pete cc Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 The team was signed ages ago when Rutherford's average was over a point higher. Overlooked for too long. One of the most consistent riders in the MDL and would have been signed much sooner if the majority of teams weren't ageist. Good solid signing for Buxton and sure he will have a decent season. i don't know Lee but watched him working in the pits at Coventry a few seasons back as our number 8, working on bikes that were broken, lending his bike & pushing bikes. He worked harder than some of those in the the team & didn't get a ride. Solid chap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boroboy25471 Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 With the final rider announced that's over 2 points under the points limit, very poor Without Shelby's reduced average, we were 39.08. Because of this, we now add up to 37.94. Does that really make us a poor team? I'm sorry if you think that's Poor, but 6 riders had already been promised team spots before this average reduction. At the time before the reduction we only had 3.92 to play with. I looked over a lot of available 3.00 point riders and those slightly over 3, that were available, but everytime I always came back to Lee Geary, because he has very good reliable equipment, he has the experience of riding on most of the U.K. tracks, he's a great team man and always wants to help other riders and always conducts himself in the right manner. For me, all day long it had to be Lee Geary to fill that last spot. One or 2 have said to me, why didn't I change it and use up most of the 5.06 I had to play with for the final member instead, But that's easier said than done! There just wasn't anyone around between 3.00-5.06 or if they were, not any better as Lee Geary. Or have i missed someone who you know that could fit in? I'm very pleased and have faith in the team we've put together at Buxton for the season ahead and it's one that I, along with our riders are really looking forward to. All the riders have already been team bonding for weeks in a Facebook group chat that was set up for them, as they start to get to know each other and just have a laugh together and exchanged ideas and info and already started to discuss ways of helping each other out etc. We've got some good team bonding going on at the moment, which is always a great help when your riders are all getting along with each other. Let's all get behind this team and see where we go. If for some reason it doesn't work out to start with, then believe me, I'll be working overtime and burning the midnight oil to make sure things are put right and give the Hitmen fans a team to be proud of. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitlane Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Well said though, shows confidence in your team, that'll get 'em battling for you. Hope you do well this season and I'm already looking forward to coming over, from leeds, for a meeting or two this season at buxton. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
