Correct,Riss it is.Was hoping for Cook to be honest.Unsure whether Riss can up his average to be honest,i hope he proves me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tellboy Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 Was hoping for Cook,as you know he would be a solid back up to Lambert.He would even push Lambert for the number 1 race jacket.If we went for Cook now it would only leave 4.93 for the last place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be very surprised if Cook isn’t back and the ‘surprise’ signing will be a new number seven. Time fir Erik to really push on this year, no reason why he can’t do something similar to what Jensen did at Swindon last season. The ability is there just needs to develop consistency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Riss was quick enough last season.Even looking at his winning times in the Championship he had some of the slowest.He has a lovely style and well turned out i just hope he can push on too. Personally i would have liked to have kept MPT and he was on a slightly lower average than Riss.This would have give us over 5pts for the last rider if indeed we did keep Cook. Who do you think could be a surprise no7 on a 4.93 or lower? Or will Lynn go say with someone like Harris on a 6,then someone on around a 6.5.All will be revealed no doubt after Christmas/New Year.

Mikkel B 6.26 and Harris 6.00. Hopefully that's the case as we could end up with Cookie..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 Great news about Erik, I, too, would like to see him push on this year ..... I would like him to forget looking stylish and just race effectively if that makes sense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 Cant help thinking that by letting MPT go we have dropped a big one... My original thoughts were Lambert, Riss, Cook and MPT then fit others in the remaining numbers. Preferably new young and exciting talent. By naming 3 existing riders in the first 4, who weren't in my selection certainly alters the team dynamics somewhat... I wait to see what the outcome will be.....

I agree with the first part of your post, that Erik wasn’t quick enough but I only really noticed it when he returned from the month he had off injured. When he came back after the injury even when he was in front he always looked that he wouldnt hold on to his lead but it never looked like that earlier in the season. I personally think that he is well capable of adding at least a half of a point onto his average, in the 2018 season Ty finished with a 7 plus average so Erik definitely has the potential to beat that. Like you said about the last two riders we will have to wait until the new year but personally I would like to see Cook and Pickering announced.

kelvinht Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 Riss did look slow towards end of season, but put that down to loss of his no.1 bike, and others not being quite as quick. I think it'll be Harris plus a suprise signing. Would give us a solid look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcatdiary Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 Cook is surely nailed on for Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMessiahOfTheBSF Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 Cook gets a reduction so he would be on a 7.58 rather than his final GSA of 7.78 which would leave Lynn with 4.94 to use. Didn't someone say Thomas H Jonasson had signed for a Premiership team on here? 4.18 so maybe Cook & THJ are the final two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
