Needs to be done. Starke just gates, occassionally, then just gets picked off. We can all see it. Any opposition rider with fighting spirit will get by, just like Vinnie did yesterday. There must be better riders out there who could come in on a four. If we don’t act, it will seriously bite us on the bum in the playoffs. I was very critical of Kerr at the start of the season. He just wasn’t doing his job. Engine failures, poor on track and generally well short of what is expected. To his credit he did improve and start to show the reason why Matt signed him. But yesterday it was all back to utterly disappointing. When he was really needed to step up he went completely AWOL. Vinnie Foord dealt with him without issue. The difference between a rider who wants it and one that is just going through the motions sitting in a bike. There are young riders out there in Poland or Scandinavia who would do a much better job than these two.

It's certainly possible, Starke riding at 6 & Foord riding at 7, makes that easier to happen. I notice that Starke's home / away split is level 4.00/4.00, whereas Foord is much stronger at home 5.56 / 2.50, with Foord having more away matches left to race than home. I would've been happy keeping Foord if I was a Pirates fan, but also feel Starke has done his job & doesn't deserve the criticism he gets. He was signed on a 3.5 average, why do people keep saying "he wasn't the rider he once was" of course he isn't, if he was the rider he once was, he wouldn't have been available on such a low average & the team would've been above the limit!

Always decent battles against the lions but always seem to get battered here.    looks like it will be RR for norick again and for Becker.    prediction 51-39

I believe that NASA forecast a 0.000000003% chance of a meteor strike on Norfolk for Monday, if that isn't a good reason to call off Monday's match, then I don't know what is.

How will replacing a 6.5 rider & a 4 point rider with 5 & 4 pointers strengthen the team?

Did cairns do a lap of the track on foot high fives with the fans. .
