2015, Jack Holder came in on 7 and made 7.1.

There’s no real sign at the moment that Smetana or Skorja are in the same class as Holder or Kurtz.

Still, I agree, it’s more exciting for Newcastle fans and the league generally that two new continentals are coming in rather than Ludwig Lindgren, Bjerre or Kus.

 

Well, dunno about Kus or Bjerre, but if either can emulate Ludde's Brough form, they'll be ok, for a while ;)

Skorja had a few rides in Poland’s third division this year, 4 firsts, 4 seconds, 5 thirds, 5 lasts:

 
                     
  Nick Skorja 4 matches

20 rides:

4

, 4 , 5, 5,            

Sorry to say it, but I bet none of those tracks, were anything like Brough Park. I think big culture shock coming, for Mr Skorja.

That would give him a 5pt ave. in that league, so what or who would that equate to that we know of.

 

Here’s the link, scroll down two thirds.

He’s between Jordan Stewart and Lasse Bjerre.

On big fast continental tracks though, they will find the tighter tracks over here a bit more tricky certainly to begin with. Personally I rate Smetana and IMO he could become a very good scorer for Newcastle over the next few seasons.

George Stancl brought him across mid season to see how he did and he did OK. George says he is good on small tracks and I notice he rides big tracks with the tight on small track style so I am not really concerned about him. He'll do OK.

Must admit Dave, I thought he looked ok and smooth enough on his skid at Brough, although a know its different with three other riders on it tho.

I think that you and your fellow village idiot RedcarRacer, could be in for a few surprise this year, and we have 2 points up our sleeves just in case. :approve:

The only surprise would be that you don't finish bottom with that side.

Good to hear that you have 2 points up your sleeve. Might have been better using it to build a decent line up from the start though!

Obviously you're new to this game of signing riders. With your great depth of knowledge, which riders did we miss out on. :P

Good try. but the question was to the Village I***t.

I could give you the reason for all of them why they are not at Brough. Nice try but.

There may be reasons why the majority of those didn't have team places last term, and of those that did, most of them didn't last long.

For most of them, the reason has already been stated on this thread. and some would never ride cos they don't like the track.
