foamfence Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Am I missing something, I understood that all teams have to include a 3 point British rider but nobody seems to naming a side with a 3 pointer. Does 3point mean 3 max or can it include up to 3.99> Three or less, down to a new minimum of two, so you could get someone on 2.5 or whatever. As Matt say's, only in the Championship.

DunRobin Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) Thanks, I had missed that but on the other hand I have just heard that all SGB - Premier League teams have to include at least 2 Brit's.

A ORLOV Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Thanks, I had missed that but on the other hand I have just heard that all SGBPL teams have to include at least 2 Brit's. What is the SGBPL, is this the new Premiership league?, in which case that is good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Langford Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 What ever riders teams choose. It's a mistake getting gp riders like somerset race on Friday so that can be upto 11 weeks missing due to gp practice. Same as most teams race Friday and saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Wishful thinking by some hoping that prices will be slashed but it will be said by the bspa no doubt that the dropping of the FTR system counters the lower standard, in other words I doubt prices will come down even by a penny, more likely they will go up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropping the FTR system and then giving them an average to put them in the 1-5 and replace with two lower averaged riders - no one is fooled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurntFaceMan Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 I think that's me done with speedway. If that's the sort of quality we can expect in the "premiership" then I'm afraid I'm just not interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers89 Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Lindgren 10.09 Musielak 6.34 Milik 7.94 Batchelor 7.36 Lambert 8.76 Klindt 5.21 Clegg 4.04 49.84 Â That's my best effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Schlein, Lambert, Bjerre, Klindt, Batchelor, Watt, Bates. 6 riders who have achieved averages primarily as EL heatleaders in the last couple of seasons. Plus Josh Bates as he's about all that fits. Would start with Batchelor in reserve with BatesStronger if you swap watt and bates for Lindgren and a 2pter? given that Lindgren will take 5 rides and the reserve only 3? Â In the side you named, surely Klindt would be at reserve not batch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnieg Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Watt, Schlien & Batchelor are spent forces, they peaked and bottled out. All are riders with very decent careers, who have suffered a variety of injuries between them (some very serious) and deserve a bit of respect for what they have achieved. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenbears Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Watt, Schlien & Batchelor are spent forces, they peaked and bottled out. If you truly think that, you are very sadly mistaken and don't really know these boys very well at all. Yes, suffered some injuries, Rory's two severe ones but he's not bottled out. That last shoulder injury was a 12 months recovery on its own let alone his spinal injuries and he went back in 7 weeks and yes he wasn't strong enough but certainly not lost any bottle. His progress after spinal injury he was coming along nicely until being wiped out again. Coming back from those injuries and racing is not someone who has lost his bottle, most riders give it away when losing there bottle. A little respect and given a decent recovery period hopefully you will see Rory back to his old self. I for one hope all boys come back and strut their stuff.

marko Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 If Davey and Rory never return to something like their old selves it won't be for a lack of trying, Batch on the other hand, different story altogether, he only tries when it suits him and that's not very often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
