Steve0 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) Bjerre announces he won't be at Belle Vue in 2018. Not unexpected that they would go with Cook over Bjerre (although not yet confirmed). So that's 2 confirmed 8 pointers available now with probably Jacob Thorsell to follow - I wonder which teams will snap them up or will they be lost to Premiership speedway next season?

Bjerre might not be available if he chooses to ride in Denmark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattfordfan Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 No Zagar now. GP riders who didn't ride here last season are being reassessed to 9.00 averages according to CVS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve0 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 that's actually a logical move re the re-assessment, but makes even more ridiculous the decision to restrict teams to one rider over 8... So those riders over 8 who can't secure a team place get saddled with a 9 average for the following season - you couldn't make it up! However, that rule will probably be scrapped as it probably won't suit in the following season. BSPA are muppets! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Tbh I thought the rule would be a 1.07 multiplier taking Zagar from 7.48 to 8.00 so at least with the 9 assessment it bundles some other riders in and doesnt look as obvious. Sorry to those guys for getting dragged into the Belle Vue bashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much doubt that all riders that missed a season are saddled with a 9. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestGorton1884 Posted November 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 We can't use Bjerre , now we can't use Zagar as a replacement ? What other sport would constantly weaken the product , and still expect fans to turn up? The BSPA are an absolute joke ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyderd Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 typical,the AGM is over, new rules for the 2018 season put in place, Zagar tweets his interest on a return on an average he legally got in his last season (2016), then a few short weeks later CVS allegedly says any GP rider who didn't ride in the 2017 season will be assessed at 9 for this coming season. DOES THE NAME WOFFY RING ANY BELLS WITH YOU CVS If this rule is indeed applied, then that is even more of a reason why the BSPA should be ran by professional business men, not not self centered promoters 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Ah, Hyderd, you missed out a few stages: CVS tries to sign Woffinden on his 7.03 average but Woffinden says he wont’t ride the UK so CVS stirs up a 9 point average for GP riders and Ford adds “who didn’t ride here in 2017” so he can get Holder on 7.16! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattfordfan Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Cook, Fricke, S. Worrall, Tungate, Bewley, Smith and a new 6.00 pointer = 42.50 exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Cor, good team and I wish I lived near enough to visit the NSS. Just have to enjoy it on TV... hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.V 72 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 About time they published all the new rules so everyone knows what's what we seem to get new shockers every other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyderd Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Cook, Fricke, S. Worrall, Tungate, Bewley, Smith and a new 6.00 pointer = 42.50 exactly. Cook.................8.45 Fricke................7.39 Worrall...............6.77 Tungate.............6.18 Bewley...............4.71 Smith.................2.00 ..........................35.50 leaves 7..........KK 6.86.........D King.............6.66 Still stinks, CVS can't tempt Tai (7.03) so lets kick Belle Vue in the teeth and make it extremely hard to sign Zagar (7.48) but don't upset Poole, CVS rings MF,Hi Matt we'll give GP riders who didn't ride over here last season a 9 point average, that won't affect Poole plans because Holder rode here last season. Thank you Sir. Edited November 28, 2017 by hyderd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouch Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 All those arguments about why Tai should keep his low average last year seem to have evaporated now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattfordfan Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 No where near strong enough , unless thats the whole point of this 'new' rule ? Going to be a title contending team due to the new rules. 1 over 8. Riders being being reassessed to 9.00 averages. Expect a very weak product next season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.V 72 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Cook 8.45 Batchelor 7.63 Fricke 7.39 Tungate 6.18 Hougaard 6.09 Bewley 4.71 Smith 2.00 42.46 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestGorton1884 Posted November 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 If Chris Holder is allowed to ride on a 7.16 average yet Matej Zagar is saddled with 9 Then the people running this sport into the ground need removing immediately !!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
