Shadders Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 On 11/27/2023 at 12:30 AM, szkocjasid said: The way the format works, it should be best to have 2 strong heat leaders (as Berwick do) as they get an extra ride in heat 15, then 4 second strings on similar averages (meaning one will be at reserve) then having a 2.00 number 7 who only needs 3 rides. Using a second 2.00 rider (meaning 8 rides for 2.00 men not 3) to allow a stronger 3rd heat leader doesn't make sense to me - unless you have very promising 2.00 reserves (like Oxford do). So for me Etheridge is a fair 3rd heat leader in a weaker league. As long as it’s the Etheridge from later in the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read that on here too, but it doesn't make sense to me. I read Dan T announced a while back he had a Champ team spot sorted, but that was long before Plymouth agreed to carry on racing in 2024. How can he have a guaranteed team spot with a team that may not run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Thompson twins made better records than points in speedway no only kidding but I may be wrong but they have hardly set the world on fire with all the hype on here but hope they get fixed up for next season but not at Poole.

I don't think it's fair to lump them together, Dan has done far better than Joe & could hold his own as a second string, for Berwick or anyone else.
