Star Lady Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 We've heard for weeks that Lynn are dragging out the release of the team to maximise media exposure. What happens they announce a team member on the same day as they announce a new team sponsor. Can anyone explain how this maximises media exposure 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another shambolic exercise in exposing another rider, one we all believed was rubber stamped from the start... Last year he was our 'Ace up the sleeve' as reserve rider, Looking at the squad assembled, he will probably a heat leader this year...…..

Kerr and Toft both have exactly the same 5.36 average. We'll have to wait and see who'll be reserve. Thinking about it though, it would be best if Toft was reserve. If Kerr struggles early on, at least Toft would be able to cover his rides as a reserve. If Kerr is reserve then only Andersen can cover which is a big ask.

Do you believe Andersen is the weakest reserve in the league? or do you think those promising Sheffield performances may have brought him on.

I think we will see a different Kasper this year but it’s all about performances and points. Sounds obvious but if he can start getting out of the gate consistently he can be one of the best number sevens but if he not he could struggle again, nothing is guaranteed. I think riding in the Championship will help him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He averaged 2.55 for use so must go down initially as one of the worst. Can only go by what we already know. Can't take much from his Sheffield performances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the make up of your team i really thought it was imperative that you had strong reserves all year.Would Palm Toft,Auty, Kerr reversing places all year make you stronger than having Kasper.?

Definitely not stronger. It would mean losing half a point from either Jorgensen, Proctor or Riss. Weakening the already weak top 4 except Lambert.

Is that where Proctor's average restricts what you can do? do Kerr, Auty get lowered on there average because they were once conference riders.?

Otherwise he'd be 5.50. Auty is 4.60 with reduction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always read more into a rider than an average or age because there are so many factors to that. If a team wants 100% commitment and a rider who engages with the public, is visible to armchair fans and is able to properly race & pass people then Scott fits those criteria. Maybe it is financial but I struggle to see others like Harris for example riding for less money than Scott. I agree with you that I expect he'll get fixed up somewhere during the season. I do think he’ll pop up somewhere during the season when injuries inevitably hit, but I’m honestly not surprised in the slightest that nobody has gone with him from the off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
