Redcar 2023


Recommended Posts

Another thing. The new 'bonus point' rule makes it a lot harder for Redcar. Other teams come here and can run us close so we need riders who can hold their average away, So riders like Nicols and Dan Thompson could be a gamble ( If they come here) Newman would be a great addition for away meetings, esp' if he's at reserve.

My guess for the team. Not so much my choice, but built with the rumours I've been hearing...

One thing doing the rumour mill is only three from last season so...

Kyle Howarth

Charles Wright

Dan Thompson

Broc Nicol

Kyle Newman (I had Kasper here then read the above post)

Jason Edwards

Jacob Hook

 

I think you are correct, when you say only 3 from last years team, but I would be amazed if Erik Riss was not there. I also think, we will have 3 genuine heat leaders.

Not many people putting Riss in their teams. Has he said he isn't coming back?

He said he doesn't think he will ride Champ specifically Redcar next season because of racing in Europe on the weekend. Was talked about on the Redcar bears talk, podcast YT thingy! Which I would recommend watching, it's really good! Didn't realise last week was the debut one! Sure they said Edwards on the next one.

Yes. He said travelling from Redcar on a Friday to ride in Poland on a Saturday was giving him 2 hours sleep before the polish meeting which was affecting his performance and sounded like he's giving Redcar a miss.

Wouldn't go anywhere near Jacob Hook. No offence to the lad, but why would you use up 4 points for a rider who averaged 2.78. Far better to go with Jake Mulford (who wouldn't score any less) but gives you 2 extra points to play with.

How about?

Redcar  
Kyle Howarth 8.36
Charles Wright 7.40
Danyon Hume 5.68
Drew Kemp 5.20
Anders Rowe 5.08
Kyle Newman 4.29
Jason Edwards 3.80
Total 39.81

That is the worst team you've ever put together and there've been some stinkers.

More like good second string/average number 3... but yeah I agree with you, nowhere near

Still a NL reserve, even if you argue his average would put him at second string in half if the teams, riding at second string would cause his average to drop!

I dont mean that as a slight on Freeman by the way, Hopefully he and a couple of others make it but putting him in this early wont do him any good IMO
