She is yeah, just assumed before that article was posted she would be 5 with riding in U24 Ekstraliga.

Leaves 13.48 for last 2 riders.

The bonus with signing assessed riders is that they can’t dip below that figure.

So you won’t get a situation we were in last year with Harry McGurk and Crang where they can’t be replaced.

Not that I think any of the 3 assessed riders will fail

Assessed riders can drop below their averages, Vuolas & Zischke could drop from 5 to 4 (I don't think they will).

Workington could have replace both H.McGurk & Crang, but we're loyal to them when they had high averages, then once their aves had dropped wasn't worth replacing them anymore.

Great bit of publicity but don’t think she’ll even average her assessed average. Only average over a point a meeting in the polish U24 league.

Yea but looking at some of the reserves in the league, Celina is equally if not better than some of them, was very fast at northside,  and got near the same times as Danny King at redcar, suppose time will tell

How about?

Workington  
Craig Cook 8.52
Troy Batchelor 7.16
Claus Vissing 6.24
Annti Vuolas 5.00
Tate Zischke 5.00
Celina Liebman 4.00
Sam McGurk 2.00
Total 37.92

Definitely no batch well past it now, didn't pull up any trees last year anywhere and would want top money

Osshhh. Your entitled to your opinion, but sounds like a jealous team manager :lol:  who's missed out on a bit of a coup.

Not really I’ll use Jacob hook who averaged less than 4 in the championship last year averages over a point more in the polish U24 league last year than she did.

Jacob Hook is a good example of a rider of that average, having seen him race at various tracks this year, and you may well use him, but there ain't many riders about on that average and of that calibre I suppose. I still think your under estimating Celina having witnessed her racing at Redcar earlier on this year and by signing Celina, I think Workington Speedway have certainly pulled a master stroke.

Can see where you're coming from, for example they announced her as an SGP2 rider, but if we're being totally honest, she only got that wild card because of her gender (not her fault I know).

She's could reach her average. Have to wait & see.

Still great publicity for Workington either way.

Averaging times of about 57.5 a weekly championship time at Redcar is around 54.5/55.

Good publicity for Workington with her being a female take that out of equation and go on speedway ability she’ll do extremely well to average 4.00.
