Exactly, the 2 Russians have come in on assessed 8pt averages so Tai would be the same, and Holder is currently averaging 9 ish i think so not an issue, i personally thought the average was raised higher than an 8 for a GP rider after the Witches got Gollob in a low average yrs back, mind you it was yrs ago and the rules are always changing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bojangles Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 11 hours ago, Roger Jacobs said: As I said earlier: the average is irrelevant, he's replacing Holder. I presume people probably want to know, as they're wondering if there's a way to keep Woffinden once Holder returns. I know I'd be looking to keep him if he's on a 7.03 average. For instance Woffinden is only 0.79 higher than Pickering (6.24) and they have 0.54 to play with. A bit of jiggling around and it's feasible Holder and Woffinden could be riding in the same team, no?

Not sure if Pickering and/or Ellis and/or Kerr would be excited at the prospect of being released … 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think. Close. It is his average from 2014, but he rode more recently - in 2016 but without getting a new average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 There wasn’t enough fixtures for him to get a new average as he was signed as a ringer for the play offs. The Wolves alternative is he was not a ringer and rode loads of meetings. The BSPA just couldn’t be bothered calculating his new average so left it.

For your information as you carnt be bothered to check he rode in 6 league matches BEFORE the play offs.Not just the plays as you seem to think unlike a certain Lambert. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this is wrong then? ”There wasn’t enough fixtures for him to get a new average as he was signed as a ringer for the play offs.” Lambert couldn’t rider in earlier meetings as Max wasn’t injured. Basic stuff here lad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting you’re not calling Lambert a ‘ringer’. incidentally the same year (2016) Poole brought in Lindback as a ‘ringer’ for the playoffs but no one ever mentions that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think you are correct and he was pretty awful in the 1st leg, as a team we were awful in the second leg at Wolves even without him.
