Rides Peterborough well and he like Scotty Nicholls can ride the technical tracks well. Ricky is also very good around Sheffield. Would prefer summers but wells isn’t a bad option either. Tidy looking side now that was worth the wait ;-). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm was sure the rule is rider has to have ridden in NL (or similar) Nicholls never has! But maybe I'm wrong?

Looking at the aves Nicholls did get the 2.5% reduction last season! I was sure he didn't qualify for it but he defo deserves it along with any other British rider! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappy Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Does summers average fit? Think he'd be better value than Ostergaard personally and rode well in difficult circumstances last season, it wasn't his fault he replaced Cook. If so the below looks like a decent team. All will be classed as experienced riders so no real excuses.

Iversen 7.54 Tungate 6.59 Palm Toft 6.30 Harris 6.00 Andersen 5.79 Nicholls 5.36 AN Other 4.92 TOTAL 42.50 ........... so Summers on 4.87 would fit.

Be a waste to sign someone on a 4.00. I know it's all about average gain, but realistically Ully could get a 5.00 on good machinery, Summers wont average any worse than what he is now.

wealdstone Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 As far as I am aware Ostergaard will be announced next week. Overall he did not have a good season last year, but did pretty well at the end on his return to Panthers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if the track was slick not quite so sure. the end of last season when ully rode a few meetings for us you could not ask for more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit odd that he would agree to do the Ben Fund meeting on the clubs P&P day then? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
