Belle Vue V Leicester 21/4/17 7.30pm

[Beowulf]

Haha your a smart one aren't you? Too clever for your own good but certainly not for me.

 

Worral swapped machinery after that first race he wasn't nearly quick enough. That is why he was passed left right and centre.

 

Do you have any common sense? And do you know what a tv is you pedantic tool

 

Not pedantic at all, I doubt if you have watched racing from every track the world. It is generally accepted that the NSS is the best track in the Premiership, but if you have to resort to abuse to justify your point, then you have lost the argument already.

BUSY week for Bewley ... five meetings in six days. Just what the youngsters need.

MAKE that six in seven days ... busy boy

4 EL meeting and Lasse Bjerre has an 7.6 point average in 2017. Sedgmen has 5.65 from 7 meetings.

While Palm Toft is having a great season and outscored Sedgmen last night at BV.

You are one that always comes in and says a change is needed, Sedgeman is doing fine and the two named are not better end of.

Hes not doing fine. A 5.65 average is not fine for a rider signing on 7.7. Other riders in other teams doing that are getting stick for their form.

His 7.60 starting average (PL equivalent) is effectively 5.43 (EL equivalent) taking into account the x 1.4 average uplift.

 

So if he's averaging 5.65 in the Premiership then he's upped his average slightly.

You can't really use the 1.4 though. You'd expect an average rider to hit around 82% of their average, given teams will drop from 50 to around 41. Sedge is hitting under 80% and hence can be said to not be riding to his average.

I wouldn't change him though, happy with the team.

No he hasn't. He's dropped it. If you want to use a factor it's 7.8/50 x42 = 6.55. So 5.65 is nearly a point dropped.

[BluPanther]

Sedgy will do just fine for the Aces imo...

[WalterPlinge]

No he hasn't. He's dropped it. If you want to use a factor it's 7.8/50 x42 = 6.55. So 5.65 is nearly a point dropped.

Elite league averages were multiplied by 1.4 to give a comparable 2nd division average so that both leagues could use 2nd division averages.

Therefore his 7.60 starting average is the equivalent of a real first division average of 7.60 / 1.4 = 5.43

 

He's increased that average.

 

 

Your 50/42 conversion is a nonsense. 42 EL points last year is the equivalent of 42 x 1.4 = 58.8 (not 50). 50 is just the points limit for this year, an artificial lower limit set to make the leagues closer.

50/42 (or I would argue 50/41) is correct. 1.4 is the artificial figure. You are neglecting that the league this year is weaker than last year.

Forget figures as a team they have gelled well, what more do you want ? all Aces fans will also have patience with Bewley/Smith also Sedgeman will improve. Edited April 25, 2017 by Sidney the robin

If you look at it another way in every meeting he has rode for Belle vue up to now home and away he has scored more than the opposing teams 5th average rider so on the track at every meeting he has done his job and proved himself better in his team position than them so why change him.With the exception of guest rider Toft who rides the NSS better than he rides other Prem league tracks and even then he scored 8+1 from 5 rides to Toft's 10 +2 from 6 riders.The question is would Toft be as consistent home and away.

I think he stated on the centre green mic Vs Leicester, he's still getting used to the set ups required for the NSS ,

and he's looking to improve week by week ?

[mikebv]

Sedgmen has scored in over 80% of his rides...

 

Pretty reasonable for a second string. Especially one riding a new track....

[racers and royals]

Not exactly the correct thread - on Monday May 1st Belle Vue are home to Somerset and I think Bjerre is away in Terenanzo in a SEC qualifier- with no facility available.
