I am guessing that Brits that have only spent the last few season riding in the Elite League will now want to double-up in the Championship to supplement their income.

 

Any takes for Nicholls, Harris, Bridger & Ellis?

Love Bomber at the Showground. Ellis average is too high for the Championship, Scotty maybe at Ippo, Bridger NO....

Ellis average isn't too high. why do people keep saying it is? Ellis on a 7.8 or howarth on a 7.1 or r worrall on an 8.3. I know who I would take.

Bomber is clearly one of the best value riders, that's because his El average is artificially low due to the heat format. if I was putting together a chsmpionship side, he'd be behind only lambert as my choice of number one.

Heard rumours during the playoffs that Chris Harris was bound for Sheffield next year (from more than one source) but completely disregarded them. Good rider but wouldn't really want him at Sheffield, especially after the way the track has been prepared for the last two years!

It's funny all these Brits wanting to DU when all the tracks are now up north. Be interesting to see Bridger trekking to Redcar or somewhere for a team.

They once offered him a place but couldn't agree on travel allowance.

And....?

Doesn't ride ekstraliga which I believe is the only league affected by the restrictions but I guess three leagues may be enough, otherwise too many fixture clashes,

Just thought it might make things a bit busy for him ....Apparently not though as Scunthorpe claim he asked about a place there.

Yeah, I'm kinda confused by this as well. I think a lot of people are assuming that his average came from reserve in the EL but he actually mainly raced 2nd string, even had a spell at heat leader if I'm remembering right.

something like 2 meetings at hl, 15 as a second string and 10 as reserve.

But in terms of his average (20 meetings) it was 2 as heat leader, 3 in reserve, 15 as second string. Only failed to get a (paid) win in 5 of them 20 meetings, nor bad going at all! Actually looking at his scores, as long as you don't have to ride against BV too often he's a great signing. He had 4 poor meetings vs BV!
