Doyle injured his arm at Swindon when he hit the first bend hole and Musialak was carrying the injury from previous meetings - he jarred it again in Poland - and was unfit to ride when he turned up at Poole. He was only sent out for one race when it was decided in advance that he would lay the bike down and withdraw from the meeting so that Swindon could use IRR, otherwise they wouldn't have a facility for him!!! It was the talk of the pits before the start!! Fact not opinion! Expected better of you Skidder. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A guest and R/R as they did for the evening meeting. No reason at all for what Skidder is putting forward as fact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for agreeing to go on after heat 7 for the fans - if the track had been heavy and wet and 'dangerous' then the two captains would have called the ref down to express their view and get the meeting called off. As others have said, at no time was the ref called down and at no time did any Poole riders or guest say it was too dangerous to continue. Musielak's withdrawal was pre planned. He was intending to slide off in heat 3 - everyone in the pits knew it - but unfortunately it ended far more spectacularly than he intended. I'm hearing Adam Ellis may be guesting on Thursday................!! Adam is pleasing his big sponsor down Poole maybe? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonny the spud 2,281 Posted May 30, 2019 Intending to slide off in heat 3.....? Yes. I’m sure a rider will prepare his bike, drive to a meeting, pay his mechanic and then risk jarring an already injured shoulder and have to clean all his bike / kit off afterwards 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like a great pre-planned event to slide off in heat 3 so he can withdraw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
