Any chance of the Devils team being changed due to the removal of Newcastle scores which affect the riders averages?  George Rothery's average reverting to 3.00 rather than 6.50 and him moving back to reserve.

That would open up a whole can of worms and loops to jump through. Plus im not sure that his 12 from 6 removed would be enough to see him drop back down to a 3.00 so riding order wouldn't change? Plus side is that if all scores apply the his 0 from 4 at Newcastle will help bring it down when the next set comes out.

He doesn't have an average as removing Newcastle meetings means he has only had 3 meetings.  Established averages are given after 4 meetings.

I suspect it will not change - just another rule that the SCB will not enforce.  Personally think Mr Vatcher is too interested in the Youth setup to get involved in keeping to the rules

Averages were not amended in 2018 following Rye House's closure, so I would assume it will be the same this time round.That will be tough on Rothery to be lumbered with a 6.5 pt average.

Stellar Devils announced after the match that Sheldon Davies has been released, with all thanks for his efforts for the team.

Replacement rider to be announced today

Isn’t the point to give the young riders time to progress? We all knew that with so many coming in at once some would struggle. Especially the ones like Davies who have a new home track and don’t even get the luxury of being at reserve and heat 2 :blink:

That was the plan wasn't it?:rolleyes:

Neither do I, however I don’t think it would’ve been good for young sheldons confidence travelling so far to score 1/2 points a week. Hopefully find somewhere a bit closer to home and maybe at reserve. 
With Newcastle dropping out and with them having a couple of young promising prospects available it’s an opportunity not to be missed imo.

To be fair Sheldon has had opportunities for the past few seasons and sometimes ahead of others more deserving but it just hasn't progressed for him for multiple reasons. Several new signing do the same or better and definitely a positive to see a rider with stronger prospects get the team place.
