Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 18, 2023 A shame for Adam through no fault of his own. Broken shoulder blade will take time to heal and time is not something readily available at the end of august. Doubt Joe Thompson will do as good a job but the best of what is available. Welcome Joe and we all hope you can get dialled into the Wimborne Road circuit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lbw 869 Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Welcome on board the Pirate Ship Joe Thompson A youngster I have seen develop alongside his brother Dan at Leicester. Let's all get behind Joe because he has had his confidence issues and now is the time we need all 7 Pirates riding collectively at their best. Will miss Adam and hope he has a speedy recovery. C'mon the boyzzzzz! Edited August 19, 2023 by lbw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,637 Posted August 19, 2023 If Joe can pick up 2-3 points a meeting then he'll be doing ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe a job for the captain with advice as the quicker he settles in the better it will show in the scoring Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What we need is reserves that can win races or at least be competitive 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lbw 869 Posted August 20, 2023 Just had me flat white at Costa London Victoria enroute WINborne Road vs Monarchs. Looking forward to watching all the Pirates especially Ben Cook, he certainly pulls the best moves around there & reminds me of how Jan O Pedersen used to ride Dudley Wood. I'm also interested in seeing Bastian Borke ride for the first time as he seems to have made a good impression. C'mon the Boyzzzzz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
