Dropping the points limit so dramatically has affected us more than most as had to lose a few, not bringing back Claus was a major faux pax, I think Tom was always going to leave. Expand Ben was always going to leave the Campionship after last season but i agree about Claus. However, apart from Anders Rowe, which other regular rider has been squeezed out of the Championship this year due to the drop in averages who actually wanted a team place this season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted June 2, 2024 Report Share Posted June 2, 2024 Not having my usual wind up, but my question is where are the riders some fans are wanting to come into the team, most top riders have previously said they are not doing this league, and most of the other decent riders are already riding in this league. Imo the team you have is this year's team working to a budget (for a change) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted June 2, 2024 Report Share Posted June 2, 2024 Foord really impressed me today, made some good passing moves. Outscored a lot of guys with more experience of the track.

Not trying to be over critical of a novice but he'd really have impressed if he had tried a Plan B at any time. Obviously that would come with experience. Fact is Foord looked a better bet than Pijper today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the above is true we've created a bottom three side to suit the admin of the team rather than whats best for the team.
