This might have been Matt's plan. No doubt if Poole had of got Vaculik they'd of kept C.Holder. If the BSPA stick to the PL regulations Vaculik would be an 8.00 1. C.Holder 12.53 2. J.Holder 7.16 3.

stevebrum 6,821 Posted December 12, 2016 5. Vaculik 8.00 Vaculik would be 11.2 (8x1.4) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted December 12, 2016 Vaculik would be 11.2 (8x1.4)potentially not... I can see where Danny is coming from. The highest average a rider could enter the old PL on was 8.00. If they are using old PL figures (precedent with Andersen at Swindon) for assessments then 8.00 could be right....

If they are using old PL figures (precedent with Andersen at Swindon) for assessments then 8.00 could be right.... Really? Why look for loopholes? Not that it would happen but Vaculik would be on the average stevebrum said if he is riding in the Premiership. Do you honestly think that Vaculik would be able to join the old PL on an 8 average?

If they are using old PL figures (precedent with Andersen at Swindon) for assessments then 8.00 could be right.... I thought they were using the (old PL) means of assessing all new foreigners on a 7 which to me is perfectly pitched. Not sure anyone can suggest that whilst a newcomer with minimal experience is assessed a point lower than a GP rider for 2017! That of course is assuming no one was trying to abuse the rules through a loophole? ? We already have and had a precedent set for (top flight/EL) standard riders in which leagues they ride abroad. Given Vaculik matches all those criterias I would find it hard for anyone to argue about using the PL standard assessment. Vaculik ticks all boxes for top flight standard assessment.

Do you honestly think that Vaculik would be able to join the old PL on an 8 average? didnt say i thought it was right - just i can see the logic. Look at the 2016 PL regs and decide which category Vaculik fits..... All it shows is there shouldve been a full list of potential assessments available from the time of the agm to avoid any doubt for any rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy robin 2,963 Posted December 12, 2016 He was never going to ride in this country no matter what average he'd come in on. Yet more good publicity for Ford for a nothing story. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BurntFaceMan 413 Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) PIRATES chief Matt Ford has first option to sign Australian star Troy Batchelor for the 2017 season. Ford has more than eight points with which to recruit his final rider and former Grand Prix charger Batchelor, who last rode for Poole in 2007, would fit into the septet. Kacper Gomolski (7.71) would be another possibility, while Ford could turn to Pirates asset Brady Kurtz (7.65) for a second straight year. The Poole promoter has first call on the likes of Batchelor and Gomolski as he was granted access to the retained list of former Peterborough co-owners Rick Frost and Julie Mahoney when they took a step back from the sport. It is understood the arrangement is due to continue for one more year as it is a three-year maximum period. Ford has a close relationship with Frost and Mahoney given the duo's plant hire company, Readypower, has been Pirates' main team sponsor for the past two years. The club is currently in the process of searching for a replacement sponsor since the Readypower deal came to a close.
