Swindon 2017


Recommended Posts

If we can get Andersen on a 5, why not get Hansen too thus giving more points above Bellegos average for say Zengota type of rider.

Zengota or an equivalent rider will be in the team come the first set of averages - the changes this year for most teams could be like no other year , as riders averages will drop in the main, leaving plenty of room to strengthen.

 

I can't see many teams having the same 1-7 all season

The points limit reduced to 42 after first set of averages so perhaps not so easy.

Can anyone tell me what happens if Doyle gets injured and we can now only rebuild to 42 points..

 

Thanks in advance.. :t:

Like for like. If it's before 4H&A we could sign anyone up to 13.41 or, after, anyone up to Doyle's achieved average. E.g. Kildemand on 9.94. No worries.

Under average system of 2016 this 2017 Swindon side comes to just over 37.

So, after the 4 home & 4 away if the riders perform to their actual averages Swindon will be able to strengthen which would be the difference and make you Play-Off contenders.

 

For me though, the biggest concern should be Doyle.

Nobody knows if he's going to be mentally fit

Knowing Doyley no qualms there, a broken neck the year before hardly held him back so I'm sure it will be the same again

Id actually class both morris and Doyle as better signings. But agree Ellis is a good one.

 

Can Doyle score (13.41/4=) 3.5525 per ride? Nope. Impossible.

Can Ellis score (7.84/4=) 1.96 per ride? Yep. If they pair him with Bellego & reserves for all of his rides, quite easily.

I reckon Doyle will drop 20% off his average and Ellis about the same (maybe a little less of a drop). But Doyle will score a point more on average in heat 15 than an alternative hl, and that where his value lies.

He is a heatleader now though so I can't see Ellis scoring the inflated average. It's a big step to go from a good reserve to a heatleader. The old format means he won't be protected anymore.

Tbf Ellis spent the bulk of his time earning his average at 2nd string. He will do fine. The average rider will drop 15% off their average, Ellis will be around that figure I reckon.
