If we could have had KK no doubt we would have but Antonio is a decent replacement and has had experience of Belle Vue's new track so that should help if we make the final.
I agree Starke would be a good replacement and shame we couldnt have had him back as really liked him but much rather have Kyle who has his heart in Poole. Starke is not miles better, at Poole and at Wolves Kyle is better not miles better but still better and he will give everything for Poole.
Neither are better, Josh was rubbish at Poole the last couple of times, Starke would be ok but still a poor replacement for Kyle even if his form has dipped a little. Kyle was terrific at Wolves last time and could of easily got double figures with a bit of luck and always likely to get a good score at Poole.
He only xcored 6 in the last gp dont think he is sulking. Maybe he is doing a Zagar and getting his average down for next year unless Zagar is sulking too!
Newman will be fine he would ride with a broken leg for Poole! Bjarne will find the heat leader spot a bit more difficult but Bucko at second string is a bonus.
Your funny, you think 6 from 5 rides in his last gp is is good!! It's his recent form that has dropped, he scored paid 13 at Kings Lynn riding with Tai.
As for guesting for Kings Lynn, Belle Vue must have been testing engines that day!
I think this may be close if Lakeside ride as a team like last night, they certainly have riders who ride their track very well but over two legs you have to fancy Belle Vue.
