stevebrum Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Just now, superguest said: Another issue - is what Ave would Fred be on if we needed him. We all agree clarity is needed. Maybe a calclator system could be linked to the BSPA website. I'd assume his current average. But with the BSPA it could be anything.

INCOGNITO Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 9.29 Freddie Lindgren 8.64 Jacob Thorssell 8.00 Tai Woffinden 8.00 Piotr Pawlicki Before the one 8 point rider got voted in there was thoughts of using possibly three of these for the new season but with that rule coming in it meant you can only sign one and the loss of the TV deal meant on a business setting you had to go with possibly the cheapest option. With the accidents and injuries suffered by the Swedish pair, Woffinden or Pawlicki do look the bargain signings but at least one could become available if the new averages come out and allow them to come in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fourentee Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 His Twitter feed mentions “ankle injury” but then refers to a big season coming up in Europe, so hopefully nothing too serious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 If there's a real problem with Sam's injury, I'm sure Piotr Pawlicki would be here like a shot on his reassessed 7+ point average!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Gutted for Sam. Let's hope the surgery allows him enough recovery time to star the new season. Not a great way to start the year for him. Quick recovery Sam! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he is reassessed at 8.00 he could only come in to replace Thorssell so that's a no go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call me wolfie Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Sam will be ok, says he could race in 2 weeks if necessary so 2 months is no problem 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 For the benefit of Stevebrum who is polluting the Belle Vue thread with his jibberish. Jacob Thorssell achieved his average riding at a second string position last year, No 4. That is a lot easier that riding at 5. It's not a debate, it's not up for 'opinion', it's just reality.

I see you continued boring on the Belle Vue thread, trying to take over as per usual and have the last word. We all know number 4 has 'easier rides'. Only number one is a confirmed position for any of the top 5 other than the number one. ANY other top 5 rider can ride at number 4. There is no such thing as a second strong position anymore. Only the race programme dictates that 2 and 4 are deemed 'easier' positions. I know you have dragged this off the Belle Vue page to reignite it here to continue your 'I'm always right and will have the last word' stance that bores the forum incessantly. It IS opinion because nothing stops ANY team putting their 2nd or 3rd averaged rider at number 2 or 4. Whether or team will or would is open to suggestion and an available option to ALL team managers. I do feel sorry for other forum users that the usual suspect continues his 'I'm right' stance that will no doubt rumble on now that he continues to bore on about the subject.

T.N.T. Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Poole do look like they have the advantage early on with some modest averages and potential in the team they have built but it looks quite tight behind these. Kings Lynn and Somerset are both going to rely on bug hitters at 1 in Iversen and Doyle but not a great deal after that in terms of heat winners. Looking at the Predictions Wolves have been written off by many but they have a great top four and the perfect team manager to get the best out of the rest and surrise a few again and may be another play off final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time will tell if the teams that start the season are the ones to finish it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
