Dry roasted?

When was he ill? I know he has gone through a lot, I was at Coventry the night of his crash and at Kings Lynn the night of his refusal to race. I just said in my opinion he isn't the rider he was.

Well I think from the first post, this thread is about averages, Holder isn't the rider he was, we all know that if we are realistic but he performed so badly last year that he will improve his average but I have my doubts that it will be a massive improvement as some seem to think.

I completely agree, obviously should be a steal on his current average but he lost a lot of respect that night and if Matt Ford had allowed it probably would now be at Somerset with his brother. He has been a fantastic rider for Poole and always liked him as a person but he will have to work hard to get the respect back, a rider of his quality should have, especially from non Poole fans.

Really!

He won't improve his average this year maybe drop a little

Bates and Newman will be fine, good riders with plenty of potential.

Yes I agree it's going to be a close contest this season which can only be a good thing, personally like the look of the Leicester team has a lot of potential.

Personally think Belle Vue will be behind Leicester and Poole.

Haha good one!

Does it matter who was coming for this season, why do we need Dudek when we have a fantastic team to look forward to watching and rightly installed as favourites. I would love to see Dudek here but that won't happen anytime soon.

We are favourites every year but we certainly have more chance of winning this year.

Don't think Kurtz is that far behind at the moment and i expect him to outscore Fricke in England once again.

Kurtz has a higher average which means he was the better rider last season in England and in my opinion more room for improvement. Whether either can be a regular GP rider is very much open to question.

You may not like this season's normal quite as much!

Ah so that's how Swindon won!

Yes I agree with you, I hope the track is a bit smoother too, that would definitely help the new boys get dialled in.

Personally I think giving the captaincy to Chris Holder would be a mistake, he has had a lot to deal with and I don't think the burden of captaincy would do him or the team any favours, Hans was a good captain and I think Josh could do just as good a job, leaving Chris to concentrate on his riding.

You should be in jail with your skills.

So your watching illegally.

That is crazy, i.m sure you can get BTsport for less than that through TalkTalk, I get all Sky Sports channels for 8.50!

Well I think they could of changed the rule as it only affected a couple of riders, can't see why not. If Morris can double up anyone should be able to.

Quite agree I assume Cook could have doubled up too if he wanted to.

Yes I agree, he is a nice lad and seems very level headed which is a plus, he has the potential to make a name for himself in the sport. Just a shame the other local lad got dumped and maybe won't ride for us again, I hope he does because I believe he has got a bright future too.

Yes I agree probably to get back at them for the Jack Holder saga as I think they were after using Scott.
