Belle Vue was another dodgy one for him and yet he was absolutely superb around Eastbourne. Which is why I can't class him (as some do) as one of the very best ever. Certainly up there on tracks that suited.. but for me, the very best rode EVERY track at a very high standard. That's not a knock on Gollob, one of the most entertaining riders of all time.. just that he's a level below the Nielsens, Rickardssons, Olsens, Maugers etc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluPanther Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Pieszczek looks like he can gate, so should be solid at home. Fingers crossed the number one is still to be announced ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntiqueSteve Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Is it just me...but it looks like a Championship Team at the moment not Premier - unless we get 2 cracking riders I think we won't get anywhere near it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see his scores then, how many times did he ride Monmore? I can’t remember him struggling after his debut. My mind must be getting fuzzy!

Cant really disagree You have to have a set of principles and anyone who fits that is entitled The trouble with trying toweed out an individual is that often you then rule out others you dont intend or want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bash Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 I don't see why any rider should get a reduction. They have an average and now you are giving teams an advantage the more British riders you have in a team. With the state of speedway and the cost cutting more teams will opt for home based riders so no need to reduce averages. Also, how do they work out rolling averages with the reductions or do they use existing averages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only for initial team building Through the rest of the season standard rolling averages apply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gollob objected to Kirkmanshulme Lane much more than Monmore Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
