foreverblue 6,081 Posted January 8, 2018 Terrific signing for the Lions, looks a very good side which will take some beating. Hans is not the rider he was but he maintains his level year on year and always gives his best every race, you won't catch him letting anyone down. It is a shame from my point of view that he will not be at Poole next season, always liked Hans and a rider and as a person. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SomersetBlue 212 Posted January 8, 2018 Great lineup tbh disagree with Vaculik being an 8.00 personally but definitely the best lineup so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bradford Ace 183 Posted January 8, 2018 Play off contenders without doubt. Enjoyed my trips there last season as track was much better than when i’d been previously. Good to see them really competitive again. Whilst I was initially disappointed re the lack of top riders again, I think this might be the most evenly balanced set of teams i’ve seen in some years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Precisely because of that. They got Vaculik on 8.00, so it gave them more scope. They have, effectively, been able to build to 43.50. So they are bound to have a strong line-up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,314 Posted January 8, 2018 Incidentally, can you imagine the uproar on this forum if Poole had signed Vaculik and then had his average reduced by a point? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinny 2,536 Posted January 8, 2018 Has there been official confirmation of why Vaculik is 8.00 yet other GP riders with previous averages have been reassessed to 9.00? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,632 Posted January 8, 2018 No official confirmation of either part of that sentence, but I believe the first part is correct but the latter part isn't?!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They obviously used their own skill and judgment to work out that Vaculik is slightly below the standard of Nick Morris and Jacob Thorsell, so assessed him accordingly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poole did try to sign him but his choice was Leicester. And afterwards the one rider over 8 rule come in? Strange......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It said in SS that it's because he hasn't ridden here before so are making an exception for him. Along of course with the 2 Poles at Poole and of course Clegg who gets a new average having only ridden 4 top flight matches. Just when you think the averages farce can't get any worse. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Observer 55 Posted January 8, 2018 Top final signing by the Lions. This is easily the most balanced lineup we've ever assembled so huge credit must go out to the management and with many of the riders knowing each other I'm hopeful team spirit will be really good. "Give us a L". If anyone should be dissatisfied at this lineup, then there's really no hope. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great work by the promotion Fingers crossed the all steer clear of injury and we might have a good season. Looking forward to the season and midweek race nights "Give us an I" Shirl 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
