What, that he's paid on time?

True to a degree and we do the same, we tried it with a none Poole rider this year but it didn’t work for us sadly so have gone back and sponsored a Poole rider for 2026.

Chris and Jack Holder, Tom Brennan, Adam Elliss, Ben Cook, all still sponsored by Wessex Marine 

Exactly.  The whole package is worth much more than a big points deal what is interesting though and has seemed to be the case for 30 years or so is that Poole sponsors are loyal to the team rather than the rider.  so when a Poole rider moves on the sponsorship goes and is given instead to a incoming rider.  most riders tend to keep sponsors going forward despite changing clubs. 

Oxford look to have the strongest 1-5 but it's good to see a competitive looking Plymouth team for once. I think 2026 will be an interesting season as all the teams look capable of achieving something. 

Nagel is ten times better than Hausl will ever be.
