2ndbendbeerhut Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Tried and failed! Also failing the 12 British riders that started last years CL and have still to sign for a club! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Max Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 At least we have had some actual info on how averages have been set for newcomers - Thanks Edinburgh promotion for providing this. Just need to know now how some existing averages have been reached!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each team were given a list!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekker Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 it would make sense when all teams are complete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 11 minutes ago, Dekker said: it would make sense when all teams are complete So much for the " we have to have doubling up as there's not enough riders " argument . 5.2 seems fair for an untried newcomer . If he flops then you move for someone else and if he's a bargain on that average then the club , whomever that is , deserves credit for doing their homework on him . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
