The team manager could swap reserves or even replace the team’s number 2 with the number 6. Plus if a team has r/r at number 2, they can use their strongest r/r in heat 8!

And full of potential variations that would mean the team managers would have to think well ahead, including putting the r/r rider at number 2. Some would cope better than others with that one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don't seem to change plans based on who the opposition is! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't always go to plan though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BartoszZmarzlikFan 491 Posted December 10, 2021 Look on the bright side at least Steve Worrall will more than likely be in the very top heavy and bang average 1-7 now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Track looks made for his style, wide open and fast. Taken me by surprise although I joked about it had no expectations it would ever happen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BartoszZmarzlikFan 491 Posted December 10, 2021 Not trolling here. The Ford family must be feeling sick knowing other clubs are going to reap all of the rewards in the long run regarding Ben Basso considering Poole were the team who brought him to British Speedway.

To be fair he was a major reason the pirates won the playoffs so he was worth the trouble after the farce with smetana imo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
