Harris 7.05 Josh 6.88 Kurtz 6.75 It's a bit confusing when Josh still rides in a second strong position. Should be at 5 really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidder1 Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Not sure why its confusing? BV used r/r for Cook at number 2 on Monday!! The rules only state that the highest average rider must ride at 1 and the 2 lowest at 6&7. Its up to the team manager and riders as to who rides at 2,3,4 and 5. I believe the riding order will change for the final. Edited October 3, 2018 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once upon a time when speedway was a straight forward sport, No.1 was the top rider, Riders 2nd and 3rd in the averages were the other heat leaders in position 3 and 5. Riders in 4th and 5th in the averages were classed as second strings and rode in team positions 2 and 4. leaving the lowest average rides at reserve position 6 and 7. Now apart from riders No1 and 6 and 7 in the averages, all the rest can be placed in what order you wish. That's all very well giving the team manager the option to determine the rider positions, but in doing so it alters the difficult in those certain races, falsifying the averages to a certain degree. My ole mam use to say, ' if its not broken why fix it' but it seems the BSPA has never heard of that philosophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice and even, otherwise it's really strong one race, weaker the other race (H1+3) Edit - I swear it is in Brady's contract that he has to be in H13. Has never been pulled out of it even if the reserves have been miles better and not even 2nd highest rider and still in H13!! Also - Good job we can't have Hans as a guest looking at his score tonight Edited October 3, 2018 by lisa-colette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If r/r for Kurtz gets above 8 points at Poole then Kurtzs rides will have been covered Of course, but Matt has that option of a guest.

Should be at 5 really. 2 and 4 have always been considered second string roles, and in years gone by 4th and 5th in the averages had to ride in those positions. Less so these days as your 2nd heat leader can ride at 2 or 4 as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would try to use the same guest for both as i think it makes the guest feel more part of the team and encourages them to give maximum effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Poole over 2 legs, with the damage being done at Poole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Surely not? Gavan said the only reason that Kings Lynn were favourites was because they were virtually through to the final and Poole v Somerset was on a knife edge. He said I knew nothing about betting. Just looked at the odds. Kings Lynn are 8/15 on and Poole 7/4 against. Kings Lynn are massive favourites with the bookies. Clearly Gavan knows Jack 5hit about betting.
