cinderfella Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Just seen the line-up for the CLRC: 1 Michael Palm Toft (Plymouth) 2 Leon Flint (Berwick) 3 Lewis Kerr (Redcar) 4 Ryan Douglas (Scunthorpe) 5 Nick Morris (Leicester) 6 Danny King (Poole) 7 Chris Harris (Berwick) 8 Richard Lawson (Poole) 9 Scott Nicholls (Oxford) 10 Justin Sedgmen (Birmingham) 11 Charles Wright (Redcar) 12 Sam Masters (Edinburgh) 13 Troy Batchelor (Oxford) 14 Craig Cook (Glasgow) 15 Josh Pickering (Edinburgh) 16 Kyle Howarth (Leicester) As a Glasgow fan I can't believe we have only one rider listed. It cant be on averages as there are several riders from various teams who have higher averages who are omitted too. Tom Brennan, Ben Basso and Uli Oostergaard are all worthy of a place so unless they have been declared unfit you have to wonder why and with Glagow at Plymouth the previous evening there are bound to be some die-hard Tigers fans around. Perhaps they don't want them getting more laps at Poole with the play-offs coming up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the riders listed think Tom's average might only be higher than Leon's and batch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Flint (6.72) is higher than Brennan (6.62). (Batchelor at 6.65 just scrapes in) So assuming Basso is unavailable there is simply no reason to select a second Glasgow rider. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sound a bit silly there, Basso is injured, Ulrich is injured, and Brennan has a lower average than Flint and Batch, as already stated. And as much as I love to bash Poole, what have they got to do with it, they don’t decide who’s in it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was to guess I'll say Tom will end up Glasgow's representative anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Well that won't be the final line-up will it? Due to absences, injuries, other commitments or unavailability etc!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe the selection criteria is based on highest GSA rider available of each team, then the remaining six slots are allocated to the 2nd highest GSA riders per team. As Poole already have King & Lawson in the field, Worrall is therefore ineligible as he must 3rd highest GSA for Poole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Worrall was at number one for the Pirates on Wednesday, he surely is the Pirates highest in the current GSAs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though pretty sure he started at no1, so should have had the highest average then too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa-Collette is correct. Appreciate I've looked at the wrong info but imo there shud only be one average. All this GSA, Ave, Rolling Average, etc etc then u see unofficial etc etc all very confusing for my noggin. U see an average in the programme, the speedway star, on the British Speedway website etc etc & they're all different. But also add in when was the cut off point for the Champ Riders averages. I need a whisky & I don't even drink whisky ! Edited August 19, 2022 by Turnip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget the soup, those root vegetables make a very passable whisky type wine (assuming you keep it long enough, which I haven't, generally ) Hey, this is better than talking about averages or Poole, for that matter Edited August 19, 2022 by False dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
