So when was the last time a rider was re-assessed and stopped from riding? I am sure Ben will do the right thing, nobody at Poole will put pressure on him to ride I am sure.
If that is true then that is awful, I hope he makes a full recovery and thoughts go out to his family especially his parents who usually watch from Australia.
Not how I see it, if we win I don't want anyone saying we beat a weakened team and otherwise we would not have won. I am sure the final will go down to the wire, Oxford and Scunthorpe have riders who are excellent at Poole.
Unlikely but I hope BV do it, I know he used to ride for us but Jack Holder comes over as such a spoilt brat these days. Had a few chats with his brother over the years who is a nice guy and of course he would support his brother with any criticism but they do seem poles apart in their attitude.
Harris was always going to struggle at 5, he isn't number 5 quality anymore but I doubt it will matter, Sheffield will win by 20 in my opinion and Harris will do much better at Sheffield.
I can see Vuolas beating Howarth too especially if his wrist is still troublesome so could get over 6,Holder the elder quite often has one bad race too so.
