Scorpions 2017


Recommended Posts

Surely Bailey will get his 2.5% British reduction, would mean he starts on a two.

 

I like Scunthorpe, it's always good to see them do well, I don't think this team will be one that brings success though.

 

Klindt and Davies instead of Wallner and Wilko and the team would have looked a lot better imo, providing Bailey got his reduction.

Green sheets have Wallner as 3.83 (5.00) but press release has him as a 4.00. does that mean the others ( Castagna,Holub, Etheridge etc )with assessed aves will also be a 4.00?

 

Those were the final Green Sheet averages for 2016, where the minimum was 5.00. For 2017 team building, the minimum is 4.00, so any Green Sheet averages are updated accordingly. So, yes, those other riders will be 4.00 as well. Likewise any foreign rider between 4.00 and 5.00 will have their true average, instead of being marked up to 5.00.

 

All the best

For an example, Grondal who finished with 4.39 and Lunna who finished on 4.90 will start next season on those averages rather than the assessed 5? Sorry me just being thick and needing clarification!!

You just have to look at how we finished 2016 to know this is a good team that know each other, know how to ride the EWR & should improve.

 

Ryan proved, in his head, he is over the injuries incurred in 2015 & showed improved confidence at the end of the season.

Josh A if only he could gate better with better set-ups to get him off the line. His hand/finger injuries might have played some part in his starting.

MPT showed after he left P'boro what he could do with multiple guest appearances in PL & EL.

Lewis is now over his injuries & is on most posters wanted list for 2017 but knows there is more to come from himself by being where he is wanted at the EWR.

Fritz is THE entertainer & now being at reserve & not riding with Lewis should see an improvement.

Josh B can only have learned from his 1st season in the PL so hopefully should see an improvement.

 

So there is 6 riders that could improve by anything between 0.5 to 1.5 in 2017.

 

Finally to Wilko, Mr Dependable who I thought had reached a level which is one of his best at his age. Maybe his stints in the EL has taught him much more & that he needed to improve his equipment, which he did in 2015, off Andersen I think, to improve more. If he does the same in 2017, I will be happy.

Looking at the declared team and checking the averages with the BSPA site list of CMA and it seems that the total team points add up to 40.10, unless there is a mistake in the CMA list the team will not be accepted by the powers that be. here is the list that I checked against the CMA's. if I am mistaken then I apologise

 

 

 

 

Scunthorpe Scorpions Ryan Douglas 7.18 Josh Auty 7.01 Michael Palm-Toft 6.98 Lewis Kerr 5.98 Carl Wilkinson 6.12 Fritz Wallner 3.83 Josh Bailey 3.00

Max Team Points 40

Current Team Average 40.10

According to the sheets Josh Bailey is on 3.00 and Fritz is 3.68 still makes 40.10

 

Dunno where you've got 3.68 from. Fritz's real average last season was 3.83. Due to the new minimum on foreign riders, that is marked up to 4.00 rather than 5.00.

 

Likewise the new minimum on British riders is 2.00. So Josh Bailey keeps his real average of 2.05 from last season.

 

I think you're confusing the 2016 Green Sheet averages (which take into account 2016 regulations), rather than the averages for team building for 2017, which would use the 2017 regulations.

 

Scorpions' averages are listed here:

Adds up to 39.32.

 

All the best
