If he was coming in at reserve then that is an easier proposition. If it's a low points limit (anything below 42 is weaker than last season) it'll be very tough to have a reserve stronger than Bailey / 5.00 newcomer at reserve. If Lightcap was available on a 4.00 average, could slot in at reserve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant say who i have added but i have 5 certs and on good authority the rest are 'Done Deals'. Not sure where you were Friday night, but I guess 1 out of 7 ain't bad😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty simple, it's to share the available riders out amongst the competing teams. With the amount of heat leaders leaving the Champ in recent years: Riss, Morris, R Worrall, Douglas, Basso, Tarasenko, B Cook, Pickering & Brennan from memory - who would come in to allow all teams to build to 42. I'm pretty sure the more clubs would close once Poole, Oxford & Glasgow took up all the available heat leaders? Workington have done tremendously well introducing Zischke & Vuolas to British Speedway, but they may not remain in the Champ for long.

It's because Heat 15 rides, while counting in your average, skew the "four ride" figuring. Think about it... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz325 Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 Two heat leaders less in Brennan and Cook but may get Steve Worral and Thomas Jorgensen back in 2025. Is it the green sheet averages that are used for team building plus the % reduction for British riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midget Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 Think we have made a big mistake not keeping Craig Cook. Troy starting at number 1 makes us a bit vulnerable, he didn't score well in most heat 13s and 15s last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t pay too much attention to what he’s saying, we’ve apparently signed nick Morris who still suspended till July 😂. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
