I tend to agree, good to hear that Fraser helped Lawson out the other day, when Richard's van broke down. It's a bit of team building, might help Bowes feel more like he fits in at Poole. These kinda things can be useful. 

You saying he’s lost his confidence, I don’t think so.

I think it's been really noticeable, to me at least, how things have deteriorated, in such a short space of time, since Phil Morris left his role.  Already gone are the uniform way in which meetings run, the countdown to the parade mentioning all of the key sponsors, the key sponsor advertising boards and post match interviews being conducted in front of key. sponsor boards.   

There's a whole lot of difference between a doctor signing you off as fit, and being confident enough to race effectively. 

Funnily enough this was in the last Oxford programme [26/4 Chargers v Middlesbrough]     Go back a decade and a list of the top British teens would have been headed by Robert Lambert and Adam Ellis. While they are making their mark in the international speedway world, others, notably Josh Bates, Max Clegg, Zach Wajtknecht, Liam Carr and James Shanes – have faded from view. [Wajtknecht is World Long Track Champion and Shanes still appears on NORA tracks.] No matter how well structured youth progression is (and it could be better), there will always be a high attrition rate. Let’s hope many of today’s talented teens are still in action in a decade’s time.

Whilst I take your point on Klindt, Batchelor's scores have been 7+1, 3+1, 5+1, and 9, all away from home, and 5 at home. I'm wondering what you're expecting from a 4.73 averaged rider?
