Anyone know why he lost his place in the Leicester team last season? He seems to have looked pretty decent tbf. 

Anyway welcome lad, by my calculations that leaves 13.48 left for the last two

Form and confidence seemed to fall off a cliff after looking like a potential heat leader early doors. Started to be a bit of a hazard to team mates. Probably true that cost-cutting was also a factor. But he does really need to work on his English.

Depending on the last two signings King's Lynn may pip you lot to the 'Wooden Spoon'.

It's ok going strength in depth but you do realise you're only supposed to be in this league to make the numbers up, not to try and be competitive :lol:;)

eh its you who says he will ride for someone else rather than b/vue ? i told you he won't and if he ever rode in England again it would be for b/vue that's what you can't understand ffs !!   

I didn't say he would ride for someone else, I merely suggested that it is a possibility which you can't comprehend and if in the unlikely event he ever rode in England again he would only ever ride for Belle Vue.  I don't believe any rider would refuse to ride for another team because of his undying love for Belle Vue!

I thought they would both fit with British rider discount.

The 13.81 is after discounts so far

Scott I think is 6.64 and may not qualify for the reduction anyway

Tungate and Scott about half a point over

Now replace Tungate with Woffy or Iversen and Scott fits :lol:

Think you’re always going to get inconsistencies with the Poles over here, even the very top ones have tracks and meetings that they just don’t go well on/in. 

Even Gollob had some absolute stinkers, especially at Wolves. 

All in all though it’s a signing I’m pleased with. He won plenty of races in his spell here last year with Leicester so that’s a good sign considering he was seeing tracks for the first time. 

Cant say I know about his riding style, but Louis and Ritchie Hawkins seem to think he’ll be a crowd pleaser and entertaining so that’s always a positive. 

Don’t recall what stinker you are referring to at Wolves?

i remember his debut at Monmore and it took him 6 laps to work out the best lines. Then he was majestic after that.

Doesn't Heeps use his converted Championship average?

He attained a Premiership average in 2018 so think that is valid

As always we wont find out until the teams are rarified by the powers that be 

Edit - Im gonna leave rarified in even though I meant ratified :)

I thought it was his latest or last average and as he didn't ride all season in the premiership I thought the championship average would apply.

Notwithstanding any British % reduction the 'final' 2018 averages (according to BSPA website) show the Ippo 2019 signings as:-

Lawson   6.72      (6.55 with reduction)

King          6.52      (6.36      "     "             )

Pieszczek 6.50

Heeps       4.72

Allen          4.56

making 29.02 , ( 28.69) leaving 13.48 (or 13.81) for the last 2.
