FishersGate Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 How do they work out averages for riders stepping down to the championship? So for example if jakobsen dropped to the championship what would his average be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he had to do was NOT ride in Sweden, just like Doyle and J Holder. Bewley is as loyal to UK speedway as Lambert or Woffinden. He just didn't have a British Title to his name until a week ago Expand He said he wanted to try a whole season in Sweden, perhaps he's done it and got it out of his system ready for his comeback next season ..... hopefully! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not just speedway, Football is a joke sport with its constant simulation, diving and feigning of injuries. Rugby is going the same way with it's "your tackle was 1cm too high, you're sent off" mentality. Everything is manufactured to suit a bigger agenda these days, from News, x-factor, Bake off, and sport in general. People just need to accept speedway for what it is. 4 people doing 4 laps on bikes with no brakes. and enjoy it for that. If people continue to look for a virtuous outcome, they will find only crushing disappointment.

They helped a lot more than British speedway did when he was young. Expand 100%, I'd argue British Speedway stagnated Robert Lambert when he was here. It wasn't until he went to Sweden & 2nd tier in Poland he kicked on again. Now with Torun & GP's he's gone on again. Hopefully the progress will continue. I'd argue the same with Dan Bewley. He was going stale & really struggled in Poland, until Woffinden stepped in & gave him equipment. Both Lambert & Bewley have really really gone on to establish themselves as 'World Class' & they absolutely owe British Speedway nothing. For any rider that wants to reach the top of the game, they have to leave this island & head to the greater Europe 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelvinht Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 I would have Klindt and Jakobsen back - both seem to have fitted in well and have that rarity at Lynn that they can gate! A team of racers is all well and good as they can be exciting to watch but too many racers won't win anything. I'd start with Klindt, Jakobsen, Picko plus Jack Thomas and build from there. Worrall is pretty consistent so ought to back too. Jorgensen and Lawson are the real question marks for me as they are too inconsistent but do give 110% effort 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Bloke Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) I was worried about Lawson early on in the season. He had 3 HT wins in 32 rides. But he has improved a lot since. These figures will change, but at the moment Just for an idea ... R 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Klindt 7.71 32 12 8 7 3 Picko 7.05 84 24 23 23 9 Lawson 6.27 89 23 32 18 10 Harris 8.41 111 48 21 28 9 I think Lawson on that kind of average isn't bad at all. If we can't get a big hitter, i'd be ok with these 3 plus Freddie.... Added Harris. If i had to choose between Klindt or Harris i think i would go Klindt on current aves. I would welcome Freddie back on 5.04 but will deffo rise after his 16 pointer the other night.
