scottyfan 823 Posted December 8, 2019 Antonio Lindback went from Poole to Belle Vue.......How did that work out?? (Clue....7+ average to 4 point average....) Vaclav Milik to Kings Lynn.......oops!! Yep....ALL riders improve beyond recognition when they leave Poole!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,686 Posted December 8, 2019 Not sure Milik is s great example, he only rode a few meetings for Lynn and was carrying an injury in most of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The same could be said of Doyle, he was injured most of the time at Poole. Riders move clubs for all sorts of reasons, some improve, some don't but its hardly ever because they moved.

You asked for examples, I gave you 3 and then you move the goalposts. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve0 5,517 Posted December 8, 2019 9 hours ago, lisa-colette said: Would have improved if they stayed anyway, so doesn't count. Well they do count because all 3 are examples of riders who improved after leaving Poole - which is what was asked for! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stop being a tad pathetic Klindts career has soared since he joined Poole..its what happens sometimes I think Kurtz will benefit from a move away from Poole Some riders will benefit from a move to Poole Hope that helps jesus 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arthur54 1,289 Posted December 8, 2019 I can remember a certain Tony Rickardsson and Mark Loram having some of there best times while in Poole colours, and going further back Malcolm Simmons had his best days as a pirate 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well they absolutely do - asked and answered QED I was actually talking to the other Steve as he was the one who made the original statement. Quite funny, he says it but can't think of any examples! Young riders improve wherever they are. If you can think of any mid-career ones, that would help. For example, Chris Holder could have been one as he was getting some form before all the Buster drama. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rickardsson had already won 3 world titles before joining Poole but did win 2 more in Poole colours......his dominance for me was 1998-2005 and i dont think it mattered where he rode Some riders will just fit in at certain clubs.........my opinion is that Brady could blossom by moving away 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
