When you compare their Championship form, Hume is 1.5 points better than Heeps.

Absolutely correct.  Hume is improving bit by bit season on season. Heeps has been in freefall the past 2 seasons.

Heeps promised so much but flaters to deceive these days.

Hume is easily the better rider at both levels.

Also, this will probably be an unpopular opinion but...

IF Ipswich do sign Emil (let's face it, many of us would travel to watch him, even across the whole country) would it not make sense to line him up at number 3 and Danny King at 5.

Danny ain't a TERRIBLE number 5 compared to others, so should be capable of winning races in that position, particularly at home, however, lining Emil up at 3 means that Jason and Emil will be split up throughout the meeting (disregarding Heat 15 obviously). This means that there will be 8 races with at least one of Jason or Emil in, so there's 8 chances of heat victories rather than just 7 if both were in heat 13, I'd rather see Danny King coming in second behind Jason in Heat 13 rather than Emil, spreading the heat victories as much as possible seems sensible?

1. Jason Doyle

2. Keynan Rew

3. Emil Sayfutdinov

4. Erik Riss

5. Danny King

6. Danyon Hume/Cameron Heeps

7. Jack Thomas

I can see your point tbh but Emil has to go at 5 due to the reserves imo.

Danyon Hume is in the Drew Kemp 2022 situation and it could go horribly wrong imo but if you partner him with Emil then Emil should be taking enough chequered flags to ease the pressure on Hume's shoulders.

Rew starts at reserve. Hume’s Green Sheet is higher - the Brit discount is only for team building purposes.

You’re right of course but I think he’s effectively being signed as the reserve and you’d expect them to swap after the first set of averages change and people are just looking a bit longer term. That’s IF Hume even signs..

Personally I'd definitely have the top 2 at 1+5. King should beat the opposition reserve in heat 12, so you're looking at Ipswich gaining a possible 2 point advantage using Emil in that heat, compared to a possible 4 point advantage in heat 13 (where I'd expect King to be 4th).

Rew will be at 6 with Hume in the 1..5 ...

I've heard that rule mentioned on here many times, but until I see it happen won't believe it!

The last instance I can find of this happening is at Birmingham in 2019. James Shanes finished 2018 on a 5.09 ave, with British reduction starts 2019 on a 4.96 ave. He rides at reserve with Tobias Thomsen on a 5.00 ave starting in the team!

Unless the rules have changed since then?
