Which rider is to improve the most in 2018

Fricke is capable of adding a point, as is Bewley.

Pieszczek and Newman if he stays injury clear wil up their averages.

Kurtz, Woryna and especially Chris Holder will improve, as will Szczepaniak and Shanes. (And the reason Poole are favourites)

KK should up his by a point if he has his head in the right place.

Jake Allen for Somerset and Adam Ellis for Swindon should both improve. Not sure about Wajtknecht but we shall see.

 

 

 

 

If you're thinking about riders who can add a point or so on their average, I would imagine the list would be quite long.   If we are talking about the rider who average will improve the most  then Woryna  is way ahead of the rest.     I hope he doubles his score, then probably it will open the BSPA eyes and see the pathetic situation they have created by using out of date CMA

He could well do that i think Woryna  will will average between 7.  -   8.20) and on this instance i don't think Poole have done anything wrong and fair play to Ford for being a step ahead everybody else.

Well I also don’t understand how People can be angry about Szczepaniak. He is on loan from Kings Lynn so Buster knew about the deal and didn’t stop it!!

I think you are missing the point. Chapman is part of the problem in allowing riders to return on outdated averages. This isn't a Poole problem it's a UK Speedway problem.

How do you improve as a rider when you already been world champion ?

Ray, Chris has been through a lot since he was world champ. No, you cannot take  that away from him, but he now needs to recapture the sort of form that made him world champ, and if/ no, when he raises his average this season it will be deemed as an improvement. Chris needs to enjoy his racing again, there is no presure on him whatsoever from the club, he just needs to go out and do what he does best. a fit and focused Chris Holder would still top the championship standings and put a big hole and give these young upstarts a run for there money in the GP's. Form is temparary class is permanant..

For the millionth time people are fed up with the system, not the team(s) taking advantage of it.

Keeps falling on deaf ears

What Holder needs to and does do are 2 different things, the injuries he received at Coventry seemed to mentally affect his riding, then the dreadful accident to his best pal seemed to amplify this. Does C Holder have the ability.............YES......Does C Holder have the mental ability..................we will have to wait and see.

The only way that We the fans can get any fairness from this topic, is to agree an average for Poole's 2 Poles, say both on a 6 or 7 point average and not the silly low average they have been allowed on. On that basis I would expect Dan Bewley,J Shanes M Fricke, Zach from Swindon, Jake Allen,Jack Holder and Cameron Heaps, there are others but only if their away form drastically improves ie R Tungate.

Precisely. At least it is a level playing field for all teams. I am simply exacerbated that Swindon didn't utilise this, especially after winning the league with a ringer last year.

I hear what you are saying but at some point all riders go on the downgrade. He is 31 this year , doesnt mean he cant get back to his best but i think those days are gone.

He will average around 8 and do well to make top 10 in the gp's

World class rider....yes

As good as he was..........not in my opinion

I think the management will put plenty of pressure on the riders. They have been signed to perform and not just turn up and ride.
