Wright had a good season and the NSS suits him, I am sure he will maintain his average but I very much doubt he will improve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll bet my last dollar that Charles puts at least half a point on that average. In the UK he is excellent and I find it somewhat perplexing that we have people who believe that the current British Champion, yes that’s right, can’t increase what is a pretty low starting number gained whilst riding as either a number 1 or 5. When people use the term underrated, I often think it’s banded around too easily, but in Charles case it’s very apt. He will be the 3rd heat leader in this team and I’ll go so far as to stick my nose out and say Charles will be challenging for the number 1 race jacket. Everything stacks up for him this season. He’s at his home town club and lives a stones throw away. A nice set of circumstances and given his family history with the club, I expect we will see a very settled and very driven Charles Wright this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people forget that he’s the British champion. He slips under the radar Charles, he’s improving YOY and in this country is a very good rider. His personal circumstances will also be much better, less travel for a kick off. He’s always wanted to ride for BV but for whatever reason it’s never been able to come together. Every single one of that BV team, expect potentially Kurtz who will need time to settle, will increase their starting average. That is always a recipe for success.

He didn't start last season at 1 or 5 and he put a lot on his average due to a very low starting point but I just can't see him putting much on his current average.

stevebrum Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Wright has been a steady climber in the top flight so I’m sure there is more in the tank. id expect a small average rise although whether he has enough to be a true number one I’m not so sure.

foreverblue Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Not sure steady climber is accurate had a very poor 2018 which resulted in a drop to a 5 point average but had a very good season and ended up with a 6.68. Obviously there were reasons why his average dropped so much but I still don't see him averaging over 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acef looking at this Aces side Kurtz, Wright, Bewley, Worrall, Lidsey, Etheridge can all improve there figures.Wright also for me is a very decent rider away from home if he can say be averaging over eight at home his figures away will improve also.I enjoyed watching Steve/Charles riding for the Robins so are two riders i would love to keep improving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind words. Thanks. There is collective improvement across the team, individually that may may move a bit and my reservation is with Kurtz. Still don't think he's realised his full potential and the travel isn't going to help him. The team is lacking a clear number 1 but it's well balanced and alongside Swindon I see the the top 2 teams in the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern for you is Kildemand i dont know what has gone wrong for him but he is capable of doing a decent job.Kurtz is no Max but i believe he can be a real force at home also he will be exciting to watch.

I'm not as worried about PK because I believe wright and bewley will occupy the top 3 alongside Brady. PK will be a 2nd string. That's quite a big statement I know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and it is a shame he doesn't want to do the British League next season, massive respect to Doyley for continuing in the British League year on year when a lot of the top riders don't. Lidsey and Becker have a long long way to go to get to that level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is though forever who would of predicted that Doyley would of achieved what he has done not many of us.Last season when i visited the NSS in the Supporters trophy Lidsey was mighty impressive along with Bewley .Lidsey i believe learned one hell of alot last year and he can continue to improve and he has years ahead of him god willing.

As always the key to moving to the next level is consistency , Lidsey only has a 5 point average so I would imagine he wasn't that impressive all season, Bewley despite his issues with coming back from injury still achieved a 6 point average so that was more impressive and injury free he could definitely move to the next level.

You are a hard man to please Blue !!!! Lidsey has real talent he even showed that in his first Polish season as a squad member.He has done well in the 21s and he has gone a different route to Max who had two seasons in the Champs.Lidsey also impressed me at the Abbey a couple of times and now he has some experience of the set ups in the UK a big improvement is on the cards.
