Of course Barker isn't the rider he used to be, that's why he'd be available as a 6 point second string not a 9+ heat leader. I've never understood that argument, if you had to sign him on his old average, of course you'd be like "that's a mistake he's not the rider he was" but the way averages & team building works, Barker can still do something in the middle of the team. I'd try & get the 3 mentioned plus Bowtell back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Dan's GSA is 7.55 and if the points limit is 38, perish the thought, that along with Chris takes care of nearly 17 points and could leave us with a team structure just like this year.

Pretty sure Joe n Dan are based around the Nuneaton area. Midlands basically 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellers101 Posted Friday at 10:16 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 10:16 PM Hopefully Plymouth can re-sign AN Guest. He's been the backbone of the team for a few years now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted Monday at 08:34 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:34 PM Assuming it's a 40 point limit. Always thought the Americans should suit Plymouth's small circuit. Plymouth Dan Thompson 7.36 Broc Nicol 5.95 Ben Barker 5.87 Joe Thompson 5.63 Dillon Ruml 5.47 Alfie Bowtell 5.07 Jacob Hook 4.28 Total 39.63 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
