Or perhaps all riders should be given a choice of which league want to ride in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrow Boy 2 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 So 2 BPL number 1s are allowed to ride in a lower easier league. Ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try looking at the BSPA website , they are even worse and according to there info section we are still on 2017 rules . They make changes to rules but how is anyone supposed to know what has been altered when they can't even get a basic thing like updating correct, is it any wonder the sport is in such a mess.

That's if the rule is changed, which it probably will be. So they may change a rule this year and not next??? Maybe Walt Disney is running the show, as it's very mickey mouse. If they allow SN & EK and anyone else in a similar position to ride in both leagues it is the right thing to do because other 9 riders have been allowed to do so. It is too late now to bar them all because it would cause too much disruption with the new season fast approaching. Next season however, current BPL averages should decide and not most recent BCL averages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrow Boy 2 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Deliberately riding to lower their average will cost them money will it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be termed as making an investment for the next season by deliberately riding to lower their average as long as they have enough in reserve to sustain this. It could be something like not updating equipment until the following year and then a bumper year ahead with new bikes . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Harris didn't exactly win all his races last season so it's not that easy. I don't take any interest in statistics though so I don't know what his final average was.

I agree that he hardly set the woods on fire but the point is if they used current BPL averages he would have to be given a 10.00 to ride in the BCL 2018.

Given the choice he would be the first name on the team sheet for me, utter box office, a class act and an out and out racer and a bloody nice chap to boot. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
