Sidney the robin Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 7 hours ago, Aces51 said: if you were right his average would be about 5. As his average is 5.77 he wouldn't be doing well at all if it dropped by almost a point. I'm not a great fan of Wells but I think he will maintain his average. Overall, I am more than happy with the team as a whole and can see increased averages from Fricke, Bjerre, Lidsey and Worrall and also from Bewley if he suffers no long term affects from his injuries. His recovery programme seems to be going well and I think he will be ok. Very surprised with the Wells signing not particularly great at the NSS.I believe he is the weaklink in this side but Lidsey will eventually go in the top 5 and Wells will slip to reserve so it might not matter.

I must admit that I was also surprised about Wells. I have seen him have some decent races at the NSS but he has never really been impressive. However, I think he will maintain his average. It will be asking a lot of Lidsey to manage to average at least 5.5 and probably more to have a chance of getting into the top 5. It's possible, he looks to have the talent but very difficult when racing on tracks he has never seen before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible, he looks to have the talent but very difficult when racing on tracks he has never seen before. I really think Lidsey will excel at home,the NSS will suit him down to the ground away it will be difficult at times for him.For me for Belle Vue to do well they have to win all there home matches to get in the play/offs.Personally i would of signed Auty have Lidsey in the top five with Auty/ Berge at reserve mainly because i believe that side is stronger at home.Away Wells can score better than Auty but i am a true believer in winning all your home meetings first then build from there.

Phil The Ace Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) Ok I know i have rose tinted glasses on and I know I'm obviously biased but I really like the look of this team. Should easily make play offs. A happy bjerre is a good bjerre whatever age he may be. He's happy at belle vue. He will be fine. Fricke should carry on improving and I see us as having the best top 2 in league for them heat 13s and 15s. Worrall and bewley are a risk but I believe they will be fine. Especially Worrall who's made a change to his background staff and now has his best mate as mechanic. Will only help him that. And in his words he is now 100% fit. He will be a great 2nd string. And bewley shows no fear. He will be fine. Wells is an interesting one. I kinda like him and think he's just what we need personally, goes about his business quietly been no2 in premier league for years now so clearly he can ride a bike. Berge will start a top flight season for the first time. Will help him that. He's good for at least 4/5 a meeting and lidsey will be an absolute steal on his average. I expect him to easily average well over 5. Edited January 31, 2019 by Phil The Ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alj1954 Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Can’t understand why BV did not sign Jason Garrity , he’s expressed his desire to ride for us ,he is local ,he is a crowd pleaser ,can be a match winner and a personality, should be a no brainier instead of RW. .

A really good post and that side really has loads of positives and will be exciting to watch.I would say Vue's top two are powerful but for me Swindon's are better well i hope so anyway.!!!! Batchelor is on the level of Bjerre and Doyle will score double figure plus every meeting so i am expecting 20 plus from those two everyweek. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Bjerre will be fine and no doubt will do better than last season. He will because I think he’ll be in the reserve berth at the first set of averages.

Phil The Ace Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Do you know that after 1 meeting Berges rolling average goes up to 5.5!! Who can we get in then? Garrity?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the team has been put together on a tight budget but with the astronomical losses reported at BV it is not a surprise. IMO this is not a nailed on play off team. Dan B will be one of the keys to whether BV will make the play offs. Hope so but time will tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 So with Berge quitting Somerset because he couldn't get a full-time mechanic in the UK, what does that mean for BV? A predicted short stay to be replaced by a higher averaged rider after 1 meeting when his rolling average changes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will ride 1 meeting on borrowed machinery etc then we will replace him with a rider up to 5.5ish. Personally don't like the sound of it as I would rather win fair but as shown last year.

Yep hopefully he’ll come to Ipswich and get about 7 and then 14-15 at both Peterborough and Kings Lynn if buster doesn’t think Kenneth isn’t one of the best riders in the league still then he needs to have a little look around - Kenneth isn’t one of the top 8 in the world anymore but only Doyle in our league is!! In theory there’s 3 heat leader berths in every team so that 21 heat leaders.....I’d love for buster to try convince anyone there’s 21 riders ahead of Kenneth riding in the uk this year!!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't that tight a budget as KB has said he couldn't agree terms with Peterborough but Belle Vue can afford him. As for Buster saying he isn't a heat leader anymore, well that is a ridiculous thing to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree. He could be 3rd in the averages but he will certainly be top 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
