Poole Blue Riband. Friday 14/1016

[Steve Shovlar 10,439]

Starting list (subject to change) Hans Andersen, Troy Batchelor, Krzysztof Buczkwoski, Adrian Cyfer, Adam Ellis, Kacper Gomolski, Chris Harris, Frederick Jacobsen, Sam Masters, Nick Morris, Kyle Newman, Scott Nicholls, Bjarne Pedersen (if fit), Erik Riss, Adam Skornicki, Grzegorz Zengota.

 

Some interesting new names in there. Skornicki getting his riding boots on again!

I wonder if Masters will still ride after confirming his place in the Aussie GP to replace Doyley the following week?

[Triple.H. 1,985]

Bit ironic Hans Andersen who was replaced as injured and out for the season now riding again in this country before the season ends. No offence to Hans who deserves the chance if fit to race and say his end of season farewells. But the BSPA/SCB should make sure no club releases a rider due to injury meaning they can't ride again that season and that rider then racing in this country again the same season.

Andersen came back sooner than expected. Rode in Poland for Lodz 2 weeks ago but by his own admission wasn't ready. If his hand is better you cant blame him for trying to earn some bucks before the end of the season.

Good to see Hans Anderson has magically recovered from his long term/season ending injury.

How long does it take a broken hand to heal? About two months?

The human body really is truly magical!

As expected Masters withdraws and is replaced by Wozniak - who is clearly looking for a new team place for 2017.

 

Erik Riss, somewhat regrettably, is replaced by young Pole from Lezsno, Marcin Nowak!!

Hans has put most of his 2016 equipment up for sale too.

 

Its what tends to happen with a 'season-ending' injury!!! ;-) :-)

Given the ever changing and mediocre make up of the line up, £20 for an adult to watch this meeting is a bit steep in my view. Has it been hiked to compensate for the very real prospect of a low turn out? If these untried riders want a shop window I hope they would pay the major share of their travel costs and not get a 'hand out' from the paying public.

[Skidder1 7,634]

Kenneth Bjerre also out - although he wasn't even in the original line-up!!!

 

Eddie Kennett and Steve Worrall come in!

Yes but no BSPA EL rules broken - just his hand!!
