However think we will get stopped from doing it as don’t think the clubs that run the league will want it that way round. Make up some rule with Victor having a higher previous avaerge or something along those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds85 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 I'd go 1. Justin Sedgmen 2. Jonatan Grahn 3. Kye Thomson 4. Paco Castagna 5. Oskar Polis 6. Max James 7. Victor Palovaara Personally think the 3 assessed riders will surprise a few, very impressed with this Edinburgh team, not got a lot of top end power but 6 riders who could be heatleaders and a young rider that they've stuck by.

More likely to be Jonatan Rahn I would have thought. Since he is so new to UK tracks I would have Oskar paired with Sedgy. Would also agree that the Kye/Paco pairing did not consistently work well, so my 7 would be : Sedgmen Polis Thomsen Pavlovaara Castagna Rahn James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac101 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 (edited) Think Grahn will be at reserve dew to victor having a previous higher uk average although he has been reaccessed to a 5 Edited January 10 by mac101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any declaration where 2 or more riders hold an identical MA (cannot be determined by a 3rd or more decimal point) then the re-declaration must nominate the hierarchical order. Where riders have a previous MA, then the higher placed rider from the previous issue shall retain the higher position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand that kind of does suggest that vp is more senior than grahn but as with many speedway rules its not crystal clear the blobby bleating is funny tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 The return of the Scottish cup it is then to start the season, 4th April. The return leg the following week, good way to get some laps under their belts before the season kicks off properly still would have preferred the Scottish open. However it’ll do.
