That’s a young Team you have there.!!

Knew someone was gonna say that! lol. School is very close to the track these days (backing on to the 1st and 2nd bend) pretty much. There is an agreement that not allowed on track till a certain time.

They still not gating at Poole though. They need the practice! Is this why there is no Poole guest at Plymouth tomorrow! As Poole won't be able to practice til 3/4pm after the school has finished for the day. 

The reason there is no Poole rider guesting at  Plymouth tomorrow is because generally teams try to bring in the best of what is available, and apparently Poole riders need more practice :party:

Lol, good try! 

Genuine question. On KL twitter it says Craig Cook pulled out of guest booking through illness. So is he allowed to ride at Poole on Weds? As I thought you were effectively 'banned' for 7 days if you are ill?

Only if you pull out of your team, doesn't apply as a guest

...plus a full practice session tomorrow (excepting Zach who is in Poland) so I think we just have to accept the track is likely to be hot, ultra slick and dusty for most of the meeting.

Shame as Zach needs the practice more than anyone.

Shouldn't be dusty at all or is there a hosepipe ban in Poole,decent track prep should keep the dust to a minimum.  Practice session for the superstars,panic has really set in,showing very little faith in the riders imo. 

They never seem to water enough at Wimborne Road

So was Craig under the weather on Saturday as well? Didn’t see him walking around at all, but he was nowhere near the pace, even compared to Tom and Connor.

Anyway, I don’t believe for a second Poole are going to lose by ten at home. That’s fairy dust. I think it will be very close, and it probably does come down to how well Craig Cook does.

 Just waiting for the endless “is there a stream?” questions now!

Probably on a water meter.

Since they tried to fill the ruts in with half of Sandbamks Beach the ruts just soak up the water

I would think it would pay dividends to get the track prep right rather than practicing causing ruts which in this heatwave are very difficult to get packed back in.
