While I totally agree with what you say, and I know you are a verging “ stat” man, someone who can win heat 1 would help as well 😂. Totally agree he has been a godsend, and when Charles got injured not 1 person really disagreed that he was the best replacement available. 

This is one that could go either way, r/r should suit both teams. I fancy Poole to just shade it.

Must be very awkward in the Matt Ford household, being he lives there 

PC’s very best years were at the start of the 4 valve revolution when he was one of the very first riders to benefit from the introduction and factory backing which forced every rider to catch up …a fantastic rider but every top rider is in at every development forcing everybody else into catch up to keep up  I agree current bikes are not suited to most small British tracks but given the right track and the right riders the actual racing is probably better than I have ever seen

Don't worry all the young English guys will stay. Number 1 will be a straight swap.

Yes pulled out of home meeting, still suffering from his previous crash when he had a punctured lung.
