A lot of people have said Fricke is the best young Australian rider and will be in the GP's, personally he has never convinced me he is the required standard.

Fricke should be the best rider, what's the matter with him, we are always being told how good he is and will be a regular in the gp's in the future yet he can't win races in his own country.

Why would you travel to ride for another club when you can ride for your local club. Speedway riders have to travel to wherever their club is but if you don't need to why would you do it. But the main point would be is that he would rather ride for the club he has supported and has in his heart.

Jason yes, Morris no.

Yes I admit I like Hans always have and I agree he isn't getting any better but Hans is a real team man who helps a lot in the pits too and I think he will be missed. Also a team needs good reliable riders as well as riders likely to improve a lot.

James Shanes is a local lad with Poole in his heart why would he ride elsewhere if he could ride for Poole.

You wouldn't need to replace Hans because he wouldn't underperform, Sundstrom is much more of a risk and starts on a lower average so would have less to play with to replace on a one for one basis.

I agree it doesn't and I am surprised Matt Ford seems to think he will be better than a committed Hans.

If they change the two over eight rule or the assessed average for GP riders that is clearly wrong and should not be allowed.

If it is Sundstrom I don't see he is better than Hans and will do well to achieve the 7.75 average that Hans achieved last season. Personally think it will turn out to be a mistake not getting Hans back.

Oh really like you know!

He doesn't need to retract anything. We all know he gets some good info now and again but Matt Ford said himself in the paper he couldn't use him because of the rules so it is obviously a wind up.

I am really struggling to believe all you gullible lot on here.

7.32 I believe.

Bit disappointed it isn't Zengota!

Yes funny that isn't it!

I think they do a good job myself.

I have no idea why some want Manzares, don't think he is Premiership level myself.

So basically he is saying Stars fans should look forward to a poor season from him unless he gets sponsorship to get better equipment. Why would he not want to ride for his home club?

Hans is a major plus for them, as Middlo said he won't increase his average much if at all but he is experienced, was a great captain for Poole and his help in the pits is invaluable, a major miss for Poole and a major plus for Leicester, good luck to him and the team, I am sure Leicester supporters will be excited by the team and they look like title contenders to me.

I do think that it is less of a gamble with Vaculik, I think he will be suited to our tracks.

I would imagine Klindt is in one of his choices.

Don't know how he works that out, according to the paper we have 7.85 left and Hans is 7.75.

Woryna has proven ability everywhere else and he has ridden over here before and is a lot better rider now,I don't see any reason why he should fail , I expect him to have an average of at least 7 by the end of the season. Szczpaniak may be a slight risk but he is at reserve so easy pickings for him. I disagree I don't think the rest of the team risky line up at all. Holder cannot drop his average that would be crazy, in my opinion he will end at least a point above his current average. Josh is a very consistent rider who will easily maintain his average, capable of beating most riders on his day. No idea why you think Musielak should improve. Shanes could prove to be the best number 7 in the league. All in all a great season in prospect and some really exciting racing ahead.

7.85 remaining for last rider if Shanes is back.
