I think in that particular race she certainly seemed to pick the better lines but if she is competitive with a 5 point rider then she should achieve over her current average so as long as she does that then all good, if on the other hand that race turns out to be a one off then she may not achieve her assessed average, either way a brave move by Workington who are looking like a decent team.
Agree with you there Steve, the good thing is Thomsen cannot drop below 4 so he can be changed during the season or I have got it wrong and he turns out to be a good signing.
It does seem the inference is that Workington knew they was high chance they would be moving up and Tate would be available, doesnt mean they knew the points limit at that stage or that it was a certainty he would sign for them .
I would imagine that was because Poole's team plans even at that stage could not fit him in. He has been chatted about as a prospective Poole rider for quite a while.
He certainly was in the cup final, he was on fire, gating well and when he missed the gate, making some terrific passes, worried about Douglas but it was Lambert who was the star rider.
No all Poole fans, I would agree with you, personally prefer to have a youngster with potential, I realise he would be a 5 pointer in this league but a little surprised Rew hasn't got a Championship spot somewhere.
