Talk:British Best All-Rounder

Average speed vs average of speeds?

Unless things have changed, this competition is based on the average of speeds rather than the true average speed. That is, the average speeds for the 50, 100, and 12 hours are added and divided by 3 whereas the average speed should be determined by adding the distance covered in the 12 hour and 150 miles, and then dividing by the sum of the time for the 50 and 100 mile events plus 12 hours. Simply averaging the three speeds places undue emphasis on the shorter events, that is, the event tends to favor those who do quite well in the 50 and 100 while the 12 hour specialist is usually out of luck. There was at least one time in the 1960s that the rider with the highest true average speed was "beaten" by a rider whose average of speeds was higher.

Article suffers form lack of citations

It really cannot stay the way it is. It appears authoritative from the content, but it isn't verified in line with our standards. I wonder if it comes form a time when Wikipedia was less precise? We need to get it up there with the best articles. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 22:12, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
