I would, he looks to have a good future if putting nigh on 3 points on his starting average is anything to go by. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess in hindsight I would say he was a "shrewd" signing last year as he out over 2 points on his assessed average. Trouble is there's now less improvement likely in his average for 2023. He'll be a good signing for as long as he stays riding in the UK for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's another couple of points in him for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 People look at averages too simplistically. Look at the team Basso was in last season, competition within his own team wasn't of high calibre. If the team is to have Pedersen / Iversen, Tungate / Worrall & / or Holder, the standard is much greater to compete with. Then there's the opposition where other teams have also improved their quality too. I think Basso will very much struggle to maintain his near 7 average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 I'd only have all three if the No.2 is Berge personally because I can't find anyone else on a similar average who'd do a good job, Barker would fit but he's got so many off track behaviour issues for me. If we can't get Berge then I'd sacrifice one of the three big hitters just to give us a bit more stability in the engine room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
