4BenMoran Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 It’s a strange one with the number 6 spot this year as a lot of good riders down there, some on artificial averages. Just checked Lewis Kerr and with certain matches not counting towards his average in his time at Sheffield (Play offs, League Cup final) his last 10 rolling would be 6.72 (7.54 inc bonus points) if all matches counted, that’s against his actual end of season rolling of 4.71. Like Kings Lynn with their compact second strings I can see Kerr, Howarth and Bellego all possibly having stints at number 6 during the season, think most teams will see movement between 2/4/6 especially once riders have bedded in and received an actual average for this season 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports suggest Blodorn had got the hang of Foxhall during the play off semi, but his form away from NSS does need to improve. 20 hours ago, Bald Bloke said: The Stars will have the best reserve all season imho. Freddie will be on a 7+ after a couple of meetings. Take ya pick 1. Nicolai Klindt 7.39 2. Thomas Jorgensen 6.35 3. Michael Palm Toft 6.86 4. Krzysztof Kasprzak 6.86 5. Josh Pickering 6.14 6. Frederik Jakobsen 5.04 7. Jason Edwards (RS) Jorgensen will be at reserve for the rest of the season, as soon as Jakobsen attains an average.

Not necessarily, for a start he has a higher average than Pickering, so if Jakobsen gets a new ave before the team averages change on 1st May Pickering would go to reserve. Of course if Jorgensen turns out to be the 6th best rider, he may still move out if the reserve berth if he scores well after dropping down (assuming he will).

This is why I don’t think itl play out how lynn think as he will go to reserve most likely but doesn’t seem to score a lot from reserve,it’s hard to call who will have the strongest reserve by June time as itl b most likely belle vue Brennan/blodorn Sheffield Howarth lynn Jorgensen for me I’d prob just favour Howarth for his knowledge of tracks over here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure about that. I think it's more likely that a few riders will have a spell at reserve during the season. Their averages are so close.

As I understood it Freddy moves into the top five after the first league meeting and unless one of the 6 pointers has a disaster it will be Pickering who drops to reserve.

Jakobsen will get 4 matches before he moved up (2 x KOC) plus an away league match before the home league match he needs to get a new average. Should give Lynn an early season boost. It'll definitely be Pickering dropping to reserve as the rest of the team won't get new averages when Jakobsen does! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't say that to Birmingham fans known there as Bjarne Pedalbike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds85 Posted March 9, 2023 Report Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) Strange question to ask here i know, but I don't want to create a whole new thread just to ask a question, but do League cup (or whatever you call it now) and KOC fixtures count towards the rider average? Also can Tact sub rides be used in either cup competition? Edited March 9, 2023 by Diamonds85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cup matches don't count towards averages (nor do certain league matches if it suits an agenda.....) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I didn't think they did but wasn't 100% sure... I take it that's the same for both cups too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
