I thought Drabik had him up the inside there. All to the final. Exciting stuff.

Why on earth rerun?

Drama!

Team riding clearly going on there.

Email sent. Drabik is going to blow it. Going off 2 in the semi not great.

Freddie gets a repreive there. Chuganov loses a chain. Unlucky Gleb.

Some good racing late in the meeting.

Big point dropped there by Drabik. Looked like Chmiel was thinking, ‘should I overtake Maxim or not?”

Have to say I am chromecasting the youtube feed to my large tv and the picture is excellent and in hd.

Hopefully. He got a huge advantage in the last round when that heat got rerun and he was way back in third.

Swindon fans have bleated on here about Poole going to Blunsdon years ago and having a meeting where they had quite a few ef’s and didn’t look interested. So they need not bring that up again after their own team did it by taking a big dump on their own fans by blatantly reducing averages and not trying.

Clearly the physical violence from Allitt is far worse. Anyone knows that. Verbally backing up one of your riders goes without saying. Can’t believe anyone would think any different.

Freddie just beat Drabik from the back in his first ride. The final of the u21.

Great ride by Freddie to pass and hold off Drabik.

Because they had lots of meetings in hand.

Doubt the management and riders see it that way. Finishing clear at the top means anything other that winning the final will be viewed as failure. Either Somerset and Poole will go into the final as plucky underdogs.

Just saying it as it is. Kings Lynn finished top so the pressure is all on them. No mind games needed. If Poole make the final against all the odds (bottom in July) they will have done a remarkable job. In doing so Pirates will have “the peoples vote” as the team to support.

Kings Lynn are massive favourites with the bookies to win the title as can be seen. Can they cope with all that pressure?

Yep. Unless Middlo is thinking Harris will be out of his depth at one and will need Josh to back him up. Other than that Josh at 3 is a no brainer.

I was going on the team position changes from Somerset. Harris at one on the new GS so Kurtz goes to 5. Josh at 3 worked very well so why go back? He is on form and his meeting isn’t run by heat 10. If Josh is at 2, it leaves us vunerable at 3 and 4 imo.

50-40.

Depends on which rider was missing.

We finally agree on something. As I said Somerset are stronger with r/r.

Clearly not done deliberately but Somerset benefitting by the timing.

Depends whether the riders who are going to take his rides are likely to score more than him. In this case, looking at the other riders scores at Poole this year, the answer is a resounding yes.
