Gavan 5,050 Posted December 5, 2018 Why do people think Covatti will all of a sudden jump his average up? Would have loved him back at Ipswich from an entertainment point of view but he is very very inconsistent. If as rumoured there will be a lower average rider in at 7 then that puts a lot of pressure on Freddie going in the 1-5. Poole won the vast majority of their matches due to having riders like Woryna and Worrall and Jacobsen in reserve which covered up the failings of riders like Kurtz and Josh not being good enough. It looks like Poole won’t have that strength at reserve so Freddie , Woryna and Kurtz are going to have to up there game. I can’t see Poole signing all those 6-7 point riders again as there potent reserve duo of Woryna and Freddie will be in the 1-5 and will need to come good. Still think they will go for a big number one from somewhere. Jack Holder good as he is, surely isn’t ready to be a number one. This time last year we was debating Kurtz and Morris who was better....... both riders were at number one and neither could handle it and went backwards...... could easily happen to Holder if he has that pressure 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 854 Posted December 6, 2018 Woryna would be a better signing than Klindt on a similar average. Klindts confidence will be shot mid July after his return to the Elitserien racing. J Holder, Woryna, B Kurtz, Covatti, Jakobsen & Grajczonek - whats left out of 42.5? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WestGorton1884 621 Posted December 6, 2018 Good signing for the pirates, From what I’ve seen of him Covatti is a real racer who never knows when he’s beaten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,637 Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) Matt said last night at the fans quiz night that his preferred 1-7 was in place, but still awaiting the return of all contracts. There is one rider who is being a little unrealistic with his financial demands, so reading between the lines there could still be a change of mind. Matt confirmed that Covatti on 4.70 would be the 'senior' reserve. No price increases for admission in 2019 - season tickets available very soon before Christmas. 2 new co-promoters (not owners) to be confirmed soon. They will take responsibility for the day to day admin in 2019. Matt will fly in for home meetings. He also mentioned that Chris Holder is currently staying with him before flying back to Australia for their summer as he has sold his UK house. PS. The 'chat' amongst fans, sponsors, mechanics and some former riders last night was that neither Kacper Woryna nor James Shanes are in the frame for a 2019 team place at Poole!

Well Kacper Woryna got £35k plus for signing for Rybnik. Has priced himself out of the U.K. this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
