As a neutral I think Poole are massively advantaged with the guest situation as Iversen will be missed more by KL than Kurtz for Poole. I don't, I think Iversen has been very poor all season.

There doesn't seem to be any information on exactly why he can't ride, I don't blame him for not wanting to ride after a crash like that but just wondered if there is a physical reason why he can't ride. Disagree. He took a hell of a whack. Concussion can leave you feeling all over the place. Plus he landed on his collarbone. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then moaned big time about the track after it had been re-laid. Ellis will most certainly do more than Iversen would have. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,637 Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) Iversen has said he needs to 'rest' but hasn't clarified for how long. Its possible he'll be ok for the 2nd leg on Wednesday if its not concussion?! If not available then the likes of Andersen, Thorsell and Morris are likely to be among the options. As for this evening NKI has always made no secret of the fact he hates the Poole track so his absence makes KL a little stronger I feel. At least both Morris and Ellis were in decent form at Peterborough yesterday as was Klindt with a 15 point max in Poland!

Big Al 708 Posted October 8, 2018 2 hours ago, Gavan said: But then in a way thats punishing Poole and thats not right either. Kurtz got injured and rightly Poole have gone for a superior guest like they are allowed to. Iversen gets injured and Kings Lynn have every right to get a guest, just so happens he isnt in the class of Iversen. Kings Lynn can go for the best guest available to them and they have done that. What if the rule was in place and like this injury has happened last minute , that would leave Lynn weak with r/r or having to go with a lower guest like Zach or Bellego............that would be just as much of a farce I've noticed that Iversen has been regularly dropping clangers lately, and seems to lose his rag a bit too easily. Maybe KL won't be all that much at a disadvantage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bunce 347 Posted October 8, 2018 "we don't even know why Iversen isn't riding as he hasn't been injured." Well I watched the crash, and it looked pretty nasty to me. If he wasn't injured he wouldn't have been taken to hospital. Not all injuries are obvious, I tweaked my back a few days ago gardening, and I'm still suffering, I should think Neils is black and blue after that, and it probably didn't do his existing shoulder injury any good either! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who is available for a GP rider ? Why couldn't Poole agree for Lynn to use Morris and Poole Ellis for both legs. Job done !! That would be in the interest of the sport at this stage with a TV meeting as well ? I expect Ford said no, in the interest of Poole, and that's why we have this situation...…. Maybe ?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think we are advantaged at all, Iversen hates riding at Poole these days, moaned like anything last time, his scores at Poole this season have not been very good so if Ellis scores more than 6 he will have been an improvement on Iversen.

I doubt the question was erven asked or considered. Iversen hasn't ridden like a gp rider over here all season, Ellis will probably score more than he would have.
