Didn't take Hans long to top score for his new team.

The article in the Echo said he would look at a longer period for Poole but not this season and it is expected he will do 4-6 meetings.

Didn't Matt Ford say he was thinking of using Piotr Pawlicki until he found out he would be re-assessed.

In the Echo.

Peter Kildermand has said he expects to do 4-6 meetings so that will mean he does a few league meetings as well as the cup meetings.

And maybe his confidence is a little down at the moment after his bad crash last season.

Thorsell will be fine, he is practically unbeatable at Monmore and was pretty decent away last season. y

We all know what you said, nobody is picking holes, it's you that looks a fool

You didn't you're the one who needs to read the post.

The problem is which you don't seem to have grasped is that you said it was raceable not rideable, we know you meant it was rideable not raceable but that isn't what you said.

How is it Middlo's fault for last season's failure when we clearly didn't have the best team, our number one not performing is not his fault nor was the injury to Klindt.

It could be argued that winning a gp series is harder than winning a one off meeting.

Really! Probably outscore most of the Swindon team!

Sounds like a typical first meeting some riders better than expected others no so good, mechanical gremlins that need ironing out overall a good night's entertainment. It isn't what happens on the first meeting that define your season.

I agree his injuries have had a detrimental affect on his career but I doubt he could have reached anything like 7.50 .

It states on the Wolves website they are thankful for the agreement of Matt Ford and his understanding in this matter.

Yes definitely he is, not strange at all. Very experienced and has been a captain before.

Bjarne got a paid 23 pointer at Lakeside not a full max as Ferjan won the race when Bjarne was on a tac ride from 15 metres but it wasn't his first meeting at Lakeside.

Difficult to compare todays riders with Tony Rick, I remember going to Lakeside once, he had never raced there before, walks the track, ends up with a easy max, very few riders could have done that. I am sure Tony had tracks he didn't like as much as some others but he just saw them as another challenge to beat whereas I think Chris thinks of them as a challenge he can never beat.

Also the rides where he scored 7 0r 8 he had 5 or 6 rides. He certainly has a mental block about Monmore but he is a good gater so no reason why he shouldn't score well there.

Yes good performance even though he was a second string that night and also benefitted from some breakdowns and his score included a double tac ride.

You get the feeling it wouldn't matter how many laps he has at Wolves, he hates the place and can't get that out of his head. He has had some ok meetings there like he has had at Lakeside which is another track he hates.

Unfortunately our first meeting is at Wolves so I am not expecting much from him there.

I agree but he will get a good reception at Poole especially after a couple of good meetings, he may not get a great reception elsewhere especially Kings Lynn but he deserves a chance to put the past behind him. He has been a terrific servant to Poole over the years and will do a great job for the team.

Yes that sounds good, Matt Ford liked the bouncy track because it gave us home advantage, personally i prefer a smooth track so we get better racing
