Young Anders Rowe has got a great move to Somerset and hopefully he can kick on again at the pacy Somerset track.My hope is that Anders will be ready for the top league by his twentieth birthday.Also will be interesting to see what happens to Tom Brennan he was very impressive for us last year and i would like to think Rosco has first option on Tom.

Not sure but I read it on a post where the promoter said that the 2.5% only applies to British riders, which makes sense if they are trying to promote more home talent.

Those hoping the Aussies in their team also qualify for the reduction are just perpetuating the attitude of self interest and manipulation that has been one the main problems on the sport for too long

I think people are just basing this assumption on the rule from last season which did not have any nationality restrictions:

Quote

A rider who has participated in the NDL will receive a 2.5% reduction on their MA after attaining an established SGB Premiership or Championship League MA, for the next 3 Seasons taking regard of any season where the Rider did not appear in a SGB Premiership or Championship League Team Declaration.

For the last 3 years the NDL elligibility rules wouldve meant Brits only - the entry criteria had been amended

...for riders new to the league. Whether intended or not, it leaves the door open for riders who previously qualified through patriality to return to the league.

Reading some on the Poole thread, Chris Holder may not be able to ride in the UK again next year :blink:. If he does I can't see him being anywhere else other than Poole myself. But as you know, it's speedway and anything can happen :t:

Won’t Holder be an 8 point rider next season?

Missed the uk but rode in the gp’s

Or is that another rule that has been changed

Only 1 rider over 8ave has been dropped.

Not what I was asking 

I was asking if gp riders from last season that didn’t ride over here would now be an 8 average 

Chris Holder, Piotr Pawlicki and Matej Zagar are the 3 that spring to mind

Piotr Pawlicki 8.00 as rule is GP rider in last three years and that's the figure he would return to Wolves on once he decides which leagues he is going to ride in just as another rider would who is looking at more meetings. 

Would you care to post a link to the regulation that confirms that?

It came in last year and this is why Martin Vaculik eventually started on an 8 point average and not 9 as first thought. 

Any rider that had been in the GP Series in the last three seasons and didn't have an average in Britain OR had an average below 8 but never rode the previous season here would start on an 8.00 minimum average. 

 

Don't know where you can find a link but that was the ruling they eventually settled on.

There is a regulation that states tgat an average MAY be reassessed if a rider has not ridden in the league for more than 3 seasons

There is one that states that those riders NEW to the league will be assessed in line with their ability and experience

However nowhere is there one that states those riders in the GP (now or previous period) who have an existing average within the stated timscales will also be reassessed

It was never said in the 3 previous seasons otherwise Peter Kildemand would have been an 8 when he came in for Poole. He got away with it because he was only a reserve in 2017 but was a fully fledged GP rider in 2016 so previous 3 seasons is garbage
