Way over watered. From that moment Poole just adapted better. It totally killed our flow and I'd love to know if that was done in consultation with the home riders or not. A good come back for Poole so well done to them but to drop a 16 point lead after half of a meeting is shocking. I said earlier stand by this team but I've changed my mind after that. Wells and Berge need to go. Edited May 6, 2019 by acef 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't have been Poole riders asking for it to be watered as they never like track watering once the meeting is well underway!! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks to me like it was brilliantly prepared as far as Poole is concerned. 2 points in the bag and heat times that are only a second or so slower than current Poole times for a track that is 15% bigger, says something about it...

ouch 1,191 Posted May 6, 2019 Oops. These things happen when you’re playing the game but it’s still a game worth playing when you think of the result come seasons end. Maybe not make it so obvious next time lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted May 6, 2019 (edited) What the hell was that. Fuming I am. Deffo a match of 2 halfs. Well done Poole on the comeback. Jack holder rode brilliantly to block bjerre in heat 15 and both aces riders in heat 15. Some great team riding. From our perspective not good enough. We are relying to much on the heat leaders and when they have a bad one it will show. Like today. Tracks been poor all year for me. Today there was no outside line. Why they flooded the track after heat 8 I dont know. It wasnt a hot day. It wasnt needed. We all know which 2 riders need to go but i dont think we will change anything. They should at least get wells away from no4 and put bewley there with worrall at 3 and wells moving to 2 Edited May 6, 2019 by Phil The Ace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
