On 6/16/2024 at 10:43 PM, lisa-colette said: My issue with r/r is you need Hagon to be scoring double his average to cover and anytime you are needing a rider to do that then you are putting extra pressure on them. He still young and going to have up and down meetings. I think a guest would be the best option as even if they don't do amazing you can always get Hagon to take one of their rides anyway if needed.

Joe Thompson has always been a bit and miss, I think Hagon would score more than him without even factoring in Zach Cook. No brainer for me.... although I want you to lose, so I'll shut up! It seems clear Poole would've been better with r/r, perhaps they should've showed more faith in their own riders? I guess it doesn't matter so much if r/r would score more than Tobias, the question is would r/r score more than Joe? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lbw 1,018 Posted June 21 After going to Oxford I'm so looking forward to seeing the Pirates in action again on hopefully a better prepared WINborne Road track in comparison to last time! C'mon the Boyzzzz 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lbw 1,018 Posted June 23 (edited) Was at Leicester this afternoon to watch Cubs 47-41 Chargers. But above that I was there to keep a keen eye on Vinnie & he rode with great style to score 11+2 which would've been 13+1 but for a dropped chain in his last ride. Only Luke Killeen got the better of him in heat 4. He did have one moment where he nearly lifted off his bike but thankfully he managed to get it back under control. Certainly had the crowd anxious for a moment. Good lad is Mr Vinnie & Poole Pirates certainly got mentioned a lot by not only Vinnie but also the announcer/interviewer The lad as a great future if he can keep his front wheel down!

He does tend to ride a tight inside line a lot which catches him out on a patchy track track.Glasgow was perfectly prepared for his riding style.(always well prepared). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beyond that the future is anyone’s guess … I think riders need to be doing 3 leagues to get enough meetings in. So can only see him dropping Champ if he gets a team place in Sweden or Denmark next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
