As we know the reserves and that Max Clegg will be in the main body of team with Vissing at No 1 So 5 (or very high 4) is as low as you can go and just over 7 for the other rider... so before the madness sets in I know I have been pushing Smetana for the 5 pointer and maybe Victor Pallovarra for the other spot especially as we dropped him in a bit last year with the reshuffle that saw Steve Worrall come back... Looking at riders active over the last two season (which given the Wright signing might not be long enough) the following fit Rene Bach 7.19 Doolan 6.71 Ludvig Lindgren 6.47 Palovaara 6.25 Bjerre 5.87 Matej Kus 5.63 Nike Lunna 5.63 Andersson 5.62 Theo Pijper 5.49 Kurtz 5.43 Jan Graversen 4.93 Andersen 4.86 Would Palovaara and Bjerre fit exactly to the points limit??

diamond@heart Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Is one of them 3 the 'how did get him signing' as to me they are more like 'why the f**k did we sign him!!! Can't wait to be proven wrong, if neither of them are, I await the shock factor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A need to be on me lap top as a have a spread sheet which works out the 2.5% reductions... but on the back of a fag packet a would say both together just squeak over... We will have at least 12 up to possibly 12.12 but I am only guessing and if we do have 12.12 then both your suggestions would fit exactly...

StevePark Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 I'd be very surprised if Lasse Bjerre was one of the last two. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on exact numbers left, but think Mountain will be about 4.6, at reserve, so don't think it'll be Bukky (4). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neila Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Wright a strange signing, was good several years ago over 7 point average, but last time I saw him ride at Workington 2015 ? he rode like a novice seamed to be scared of the track/racing, hope it works out for Wright and the diamonds, may make a decent reserve, but not sure if he likes rough oops brough park 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you explain how many comebacks someone can make when they ride 13 years in succession? I appreciate you are not the sharpest TOOL in the box but he did have a habit of not managing to do a full season on a few occasions and that wasn't always due to injury. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Perhaps Charles Wright’s performances in recent times have reignited James’ interest in riding. To my mind James was certainly the better of the two for quite some time. That won’t be the case now but if he’s up for it then there’s no reason he couldn’t maintain a four point average I’d say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright and Mountain will be the reserve pairing and as already been mentioned on here Wrighty has still been grass tracking very competitively so its not as if he hasn't been on a bike at all.

We always have the choice to change things early on if it's not working out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelShoe Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Conner Mountain solid young rider who in my opinion is pretty accomplished around technical tracks so will be useful around Brough Park. Claus had arguably his best ever season in the Championship last year but cannot see him maintaining his average . Great to see Wrighty back. I admit to being surprised bearing in mind how long he has been out of the saddle. In his spells at Worky he went from being a very exciting come from the back around the boards rider to one who hugged the white line on his return in the Keith Denham era. I hope it works out for James and The Diamonds, if he regains his confidence then lets not forget he was a former PLRC Winner so he had plenty of ability. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludde was asked to come back to the UK by another club last year and he turned them down and I don't think wants UK racing, but, of course, things may have changed. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
