Bagpuss Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Three months until the season starts, a lot can change in that time and probably will. Ultimately though whatever Poland decides is what everyone else will have to abide by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see him get a team though. Expand Think he may also be a rising star as on the list I have seen he is classed as a 4* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Drew will be the number 7, but for some obscure reason they all need to be announced at once next week, so Ipswich have to unannounce him to reannounce him again later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 For Ipswich it's not unusual to give a couple of young Brits ago - whilst for some others they have always seemed to see it as an inconvenience.....

Dandelion Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) How come Jason Crump's average has gone from 8.21 last week to 8.00 this week? Conveniently to drop Ipswich JUST under the average limit? 1. Jason Crump 8.00 2. Jordan Stewart 4.00 3. Danny King 6.66 4. Cameron Heeps 6.30 5. Nicolai Klindt 7.43 6. Anders Rowe 3.00 7.

Some CL teams have 2 or 3. The crucial bit is that you have to have one at No 7 in 2021 and two at 6 and 7 in 2022. They have to start at 7 but if their actual average increases they move up and down the team You have to signify one as your Rising Star at start of season that's all.

Expand A rider that hasn't ridden for a period of time (not just 1 year away) gets their average reassessed. So in Crump's case he was reassessed at 8.21 for having many years away for the 2020 season. As its been an extra year away his average now gets another reduction. Paul Hurrys average for the 2020 season would have been more than for 2021, Bjarne Pedersen the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
