Well done to Chris Louis, a superstar of the sport on and off the track,great news, I would think it is only the formalities and the new owner does not want it announced until everything is cut and dried.
But Jacob could be in the team if the team was built in a different way. He could be the 5th member of the current team leaving a bit more for the last two, if they have gone with Cook then it leaves very little for the last two. If Bowes starts poorly Jacob could end up at Poole. Plenty of options.
I would not read too much in to the results in Australia, come March/ April he will be fine. He dropped a point off his average last season so I am expecting a big improvement. He has a marginally higher average than Bowes and is clearly a much better rider so I would expect a much bigger difference in their averages at the end of the season.
Probably because nobody thinks Plymouth are title contenders, they could be this season so maybe we can all look forward to more pages on the Plymouth thread.
He hasn't had many seasons at Premiership level though, I think with an injury free season he can improve above Lawson, he was not far behind Lawson at Poole and I think he is a better rider now.
