Nellie 144 Posted September 26, 2016 Mark Lemon (@SkidMark73) tweeted at 8:43 pm on Mon, Sep 26, 2016: Wednesday's semi final means no @max_fricke due to his Swedish League Final commitment. Adopted Ace for the night will be @DannyKingRacing https://t.co/rYzqZIonHD (https://twitter.com/SkidMark73/status/780492897930121216?s=02) Do the averages change before Wednesday? According to the SpeedwayGB website, Fricke is 6.94 (7.29 including 5%) and King is 7.33. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Flag 454 Posted September 26, 2016 Harris. Harris bowed to the pressure and as Wolves are his 2017 team. Told you. If this had been Poole doing this the place would have gone into complete and utter meltdown. But more than likely the usual anti Poole mob will praise this move. Its for Fricke but don't let that get in the way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starman2006 2,356 Posted September 26, 2016 Ed Kennett has knee damage, that is bad enough to need an operation but he still rode in the Play off semi. Loads of riders get knee damage and still see the season out. Can Bjarne not wear a knee brace like most of the others ? We had all this in the past with Joe Screens shoulder. Unfit to ride when it suited Ford then scored a 15 point maximum the following night. Loads of riders from Ove Fundin to Tai Woffinden have won world titles with far worse injuries that that, and of course we all remember Kenny Carter having to be physically lifted onto his bike to race with a broken leg. #prayforbjarne Yep i agree, and i remember the kenny carter episode. But everybody reacts differently to pain. Some have a high pain freshold some don't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebrum 6,827 Posted September 26, 2016 Lets wait and see then. So if Harris refuses to ride for Lakeside on Wednesday and turns out for Wolves, will Wolves fans and the anti Poole brigade be happy with that? Truthfully? the guests situation was for tonight only, no long term deal was in place. It's a free for all for the rearrangement. It's not like Wolves are getting a better rider in replace unlike cough cough Tungate. Harris in place of Thorsell virually gaurentees Wolves a place in the final. One of the best riders around Monmore full stop. Have to feel sorry for Lakeside. At wolves it's a like for like replacement if that is indeed true. Nothing to feel sorry for lakeside for. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted September 26, 2016 Harris or Thorsell around Monmore? Harris every time. Thorsell has improved but if he misses the start he isn't a Harris coming through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So lets put the boot on the other foot. Lets say buck has the same average as Harris and was riding in the Sedish playoffs. After tonights rainoff, Matt Ford secured the services of Harris for Wednesday. Can you, hand on heart, say 'the guests situation was for tonight only, no long term deal was in place. It's a free for all for the rearrangement. Poole have done nothing wrong'. Never in a million years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
