most people on here put Poole as the team to beat on paper,but all that depends on their 2 poles riding in the UK as they do in Poland, Time will tell. Sundstrom was very poor last time he rode in the UK, and as someone has already posted, he didn't have such a good season in Poland last year. Holder is not the Holder that Poole fans remember, if the track is not to his liking, then expect A very mediocre Holder. J Shanes should kick on from last season and B Kurtz should also improve.

So yes they look good on paper, but to many if's and but's for me.

Looking good if the Pole can get dialled in come the play offs and Cook doesn't go walk about whilst strutting the World Stage.

I would say there is every chance Poole's poles will outscore Belle Vue's one.

Yet he starts on a higher average than both Poole's Poles.Makes you realise that there is something not quite right about our beloved sport does it not.:sad:

Well Belle Vue  are never the first to announce their team so one would think that they do that to save money and get the riders they can afford.

Couldn' be further from the truth. This team was signed and sealed months ago. But had to delay announcing anyone till now for a very good reason

Nothing to do with what clubs can and cannot afford.Its the fact that you yourself and most other fans think that Poole's 2 Poles are better than Drozdz yet the powers that be have given Drozdz a higher average than Poole's 2 Poles.If both Poole riders are better riders then in all fairness Drozdz should have been assessed lower that's what is wrong with the sport no matter what clubs the riders sign for.

The two Poole poles have already achieved averages, Drozdz has to be assessed, the only way would be for all riders not riding here in 2017 to be assessed which would lead to another can of worms, both Poole and Belle Vue are taking a risk that they will perform above their averages.
