Has there been official confirmation of why Vaculik is 8.00 yet other GP riders with previous averages have been reassessed to 9.00?

 

Because it's Leicester. Any other club he would have been a 9. 

Cheats!

TBH I think the assessment of Vaculik is spot on. 8.00 is very fair considering he's never ridden in Britain before. 

9.00 is too high imo.

Agree with you, I don't think he'll even achieve his 8 average.

British Speedway will certainly be a culture shock to him

8.50 might have been more justifiable but until there is a proper Europe wide conversion rate which is set in October each year by an independent body it's always going to be unsatisfactory.

Anyway, the mantra of "build the team to the points limit" hasn't been followed, which might not be a bad thing if a change is needed in early season.

Skidder1 Kim Nillson has decided that he will not be riding in the UK at the start of the season as now has a regular place in Poland and wants to try progress his career on the continent.

I would not be surprised to see him back in the UK later in the year though 

Thanks Flagrag. I thought there might have been some sort of swap deal involving Hans and Kim now that Messrs Ford and Bates seem besties??!! ;):D

8.5 and we would still have come in under 42.5, just ... based on Sarjeant being on 2.56
