Can’t surely have Hume in the 1-5 that’s absolutely madness. He’ll hardly score a point with all due respect to him. 

I dunno, he will probably be a number 2 and then that leaves a decent sized gap for a superstar to back Doyle up

Hume would be at reserve, with Rew in the 1-5, probably at number 2 partnered with Doyle

Hume and Jack Thomas would be an amazing reserve partnership

Even more bonkers if there were other better riders left that didn't have a team place who's averages fitted

Have to see who that last rider is. The only one that I’d say yeah, fair enough, is Janowski on 8.97 his last average with Poole. That’s unlikely in the extreme and not sure he’d even be allowed to ride even if he wanted to. Other than that it wouldn’t make a lot of sense as nobody else seems to come close to 9.2 average wise.

Don't know about anyone else but I wouldn't want Emil in my side if it resulted in Hume having to ride in the 1-5.

You'd get more points out of an engine room combo.

Depends what you’re looking for as a fan. Would you rather pay your money and watch Emil? Or would you rather watch a Worrall/Cook  combo (with all due respect to them) that would probably fetch more points? I’m with you I think I’d probably go for the strongest looking duo which gives the best chance of success. But I’ll bet there’s plenty who’d rather go for the Emil option even if that means looking weaker overall.

Just had it confirmed. Hume will be a Ipswich. What does that leave for the last rider

I’m not having this one. He’ll be up against two heatleaders and and the likes of the two Worrall’s. He won’t be scoring a single point. I think you’ve got some duff information there.

Unless CL and RH are going to play it smart...

Get Hume at no.2 where he partners Doyle 3 times worst case in most heats a 4-2 against or 3-3 with the odd 4-2 in the witches favour 

Get a big hitter in at 5

Then play the waiting game of the averages dropping, then they replace hume with someone like Batch

So they start

Doyle, Hume, King, Riss, No.5, Rew, Thomas

End with

Doyle, Batch, King, Riss, No.5, Rew, Thomas

So Hume would just make the numbers up until the numbers add up to move him out

Would Hume be aware of this plan? Can’t see him agreeing to that to be honest, and I can’t see Louis doing that either. Not his style

But if Hume is signed on a 3.1 average & Batchelor is 5.6, who in the team is gonna drop 2.5 from their averages to allow that change?
