Not funny that his father passed away, and he took full control of the business 

I'm sure it was discussed when deciding to drop down a league was being discussed as it was out in the media pretty quickly that Middlo wasn't able to do all the away meetings. But seeing as BCD isn't in the local area for the media coverage, we'll let his cynical view off, for now!!

Pirates have just announced the replacement for Keleher at 2 and he will be riding all three meetings this weekend. Welcome to Poole Ben Basso. 20 year old Danish rider. Must admit I know nothing about him but he comes highly recommended by Nicolai Klindt and Freddy Jackobsen. A bit of a baptism of fire for the lad when he sees Edinburgh but I won’t expect too much from him this weekend.

The new guys in for a shock when he sees Armadale and an even bigger shock when he sees Berwick, and then onto Brough Park.:blink:

The almost consistent precipitation North of the Watford Gap makes his hair more ginger was what I heard, whereas the glorious sunshine South of the Gap only brings the freckles out

Middlo?   Hair?

After Edinburgh, Berwick and Newcastle he might be hot footing down to the ferry to Denmark.

Currently has a higher average than Freddie Jacobsen and Peter Kildemand in european leagues.  I believe he's been Danish Champion at the various age groups below senior.

Ben Basso 

Well if he cleans everything up for us then we'll be calling him Ben Brasso! :rofl:

Superb riding for a youngster to be honest. His battle with Lasse Bjerre and Jensen at 28.45 was excellent and his ride at 32.10 was impressive. Whether he will do well in much tougher company we will have to see but 5 points a meeting is his target.

And Poland have noticed him. However he wants to come to the U.K. as it’s a guarenteed berth.

Oh dear bloody COVID!!!!!!!!!!!!

Benjamin Basso missed his Danish League meeting yesterday due to testing positive for COVID. No symptoms but has to self isolate until a negative test result.
