Got a draw......feels like a loss.

Not going into all the arguments about how the track was watered today.............same for both teams.

Interesting though that in the the post meeting press conference Max Fricke stated that he really doesn't keep up with the team scores during the meeting.

Often heard this from riders before, but Fricke is captain for heavens sake!

 

It's an individual sport shoe horned into a team concept..

How many teams does Max ride for? Is it four?

No surprise then if these lads don't follow any other scores than their own..

Given the level of pressure and focus by riding in Poland, where 'team racing' is done 'properly' and actually means something given its profile, then I dont think its too much of a surprise if when out of that environment, riders can relax more and just take meetings ride by ride, and then tot up their earnings when the meeting is over. .

what would need to happen in terms of numeration to get Craig back in place of Ricky?

Is it doable at the next set of averages if we replace Berge as well with a lower averaged rider?

Say Bickley or flint for example what would that leave us, Craig’s average comes down at the first set for EL doesn’t it?

Neither Bickley or Flint are elligible until they achieve a Championship average in excess of 4.50

Don't you just love a commentator trying to make a fairly normal heat exciting?!  Bewley and Covatti first and second for 3.75 laps and Klindt simply biding his time to finish where he started ie in 3rd place!!

Nice to see the NSS featuring again on this 'heat of the day' but agree that they could have found a better example from today's meeting.

In truth it wasn't among the best meetings at the stadium but there were better races than this one.

and maybe a serious accident as well

Don't think it would have made the track more dangerous personally.

With lack of material on the track it probably would have been a skating rink

No i think watering would of made it grippier.

16 points down after 8 races I have to agree.  Who'd have thought Ht 15 would have been a 1-5, got to have to the home top boys winning those races really.

Cant knock that comeback but Belle Vue threw it away.

I dont think this Poole 1-7 can win the league and strangely enough the team seem better away from home............wins at two good tracks at Swindon and Belle Vue.......but being thumped at home by Swindon and losing to Kings Lynn shows the limitations. And if the team does to well to soon then it will be harder to make changes and Worrall has to be a worry

Poole haven't won away at Swindon or Belle Vue, but still top the league at this early stage.  Seems your opinion has the usual factual inaccuracies in it Gav!!

In the league Poole lost away by 2 points at Peterborough, picked up 2 points from the DRAW at Belle Vue and thrashed the Aces at home by 20 points.  No need for changes yet.

The home losses doesn't show our limitations it shows that we are better than those results appear on face value. Worrall is a good solid rider and will improve as the season progresses.
