foreverblue Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 34 minutes ago, Arch Stanton said: But we don’t need a 3 pointer. If we signed a 3 pointer we’d have over 9 left for a heatleader, we’re not signing a 9+ pointer. Baldyman has listed some good talent who would come in on a 4, on the basis of signing Sayfutdinov on an 8 point average. Good point, so it looks like the team will be under the points limit again because in my opinion Hume is still the best option unless you get another rider that hasn't ridden here before.

Baldyman Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 Makes no sense to have Doyle on such a high average and still be under the points limit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappy Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 There's a young up and coming rider who rides Foxhall really well available on a bargain 4.93 average 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Wouldn't be shocked if we end up with Andersen and Batch anyway,, and start way under limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that not his first Championship season when signed as a 3.00 rider? I would judge his current potential based on that season!

Hume and mountain both averaged over 4 last season and are only 3.07/3.27 due to the 25% reduction My point still stands, you lose the benefit of signing them with 25% off their average if you don't reach the 42.00 limit! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’d be 4.27 left, so you may as well say you’re signing them pretty much on their real averages. The benefit of the 25% would instantly disappear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL!! "The Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme is the global governing/sanctioning body of motorcycle racing. It represents 116 national motorcycle federations that are divided into six regional continental unions."
