Troy Batchelor is on 8.98 = 26.37 (without the reductions). So a "reliable number 1" would come in at 9.00+, so = 35+ for the top 5. It all depends on what the decisions are at the AGM regards the top 5 (or 6) total averages and whether it's 1 or 2 Rising Stars. Only Steve Worrall (9.28), Danny King (9.22) and Scott Nicholls (9.18) are over 9.00 averages (as far as I can see!) from this years Championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJC Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 If rumours are true and the Eastbourne results are expunged from the averages, surely Newcastle should be after getting Newman back on a 5.03, if he isn’t already Plymouth bound 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming your top 5 can total 35ish (with two rising stars), as per the original intention, then we have room for an 11 point man. like they are ten a penny, not. If it is the same as this year, then the limit will be 39 for the top 6 (assuming Archie is or rising star, or possibly 38 if not. That gives us 14 or 15 points for the last two.

MrP Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 I very much doubt it will be two rising stars. Which depending on who else signs could mean James Wright starting at reserve. Could possibly have 14/15 points remaining plus the rising star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds85 Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Ulrich Ostergaard 7.96 Max Clegg 5.27 Paul Starke 6.47 Matthew Wethers 6.47 Richie Worrall 7.76 James Wright 5.07 Archie Freeman 2* 39.00 +2 RS Wonder if the Rising Star rule is kept the same as this season then we could go with a team like this? A lot of strength in depth with Wrighty at reserve again... And Richie is an alright number 1, not a massive one... But I'd be reasonably happy with this... Or is Ulrich ends up at Glasgow then Lewis Kerr (7.67) at number 5 with Richie at 1 would be alright too... Don't think Lewi is a number 5 or Richie is a number 1 really, but at least we'll have that depth to go with an actual half decent 1 to 5... Really pleased with the signing of Starkey, brilliant rider and always give his all, very happy All the averages above are based on the final averages on the Speedway GB website with all British riders -2.5%... I am aware that these averages don't take into account the Eastbourne results being taken away, but it's a general idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
