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.

You can probably rule Mountain out cos I’d forgotten about his stint with us as someone else pointed out, he just couldn’t get round Foxhall and was axed mid season if my memory is correct. 

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

Heeps average of 4.18 was achieved via him starting higher and sliding drastically downward, it’s only still that high due to meetings still contributing from previous seasons.

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!

He hated the place. 

I wasn't aware of that. But if Mountain wants a Prem team he's not in a position to turn down any offers, so should try & convince the promotion he can improve around Foxhall

My point is tho if you signed either you’re not getting a 3 point rider you’re getting a rider that averaged over 4 last seasoN

Absolutely he’d take it, he doesn’t have any other options. Just can’t see Louis offering him a place. We’ll see.

Wouldn’t make a jot of difference though if either was signed along with Emil. 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.

The FIM should have no jurisdiction over British Speedway. We voted for Brexit.

The FIM has nothing to do with the EU. It is a global organisation and the governing body of motor cycle racing throughout the World.

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."
