Have to agree. But should certainly do it next season

Will need a guest from now on I think until Bowes returns

If there was something riding on it I reckon they would’ve

The best result Edinburgh would get vs Poole would be a win by 8/10. And then at Poole, I’d be surprised if Edinburgh got to 38

Was surprised at how poor Paco was, is he still struggling being in the prem?

Hahaha

Disappointing to lose in the last heat but a great meeting, enjoyed the stream throughly. Great result for Edinburgh and a good result for Poole.

Although Zach isn’t as good as Lawson or Masters, I think it’s more of a case that he’s younger and has aspirations to try and make it further in the sport, like his Brother, and then riders like Basso Brennan Nagel and many other riders who left the champ despite never hitting a 9 average. I still firmly believe Zach is riding at about 75%, and come the playoffs he will find that extra gear like last year

Maybe someone from abroad who wants a month of meetings or the more likely option will be for guests I think, chance for Gilkes perhaps

Apparently not, as I can’t see where he blames Oxford either

Got to feel for Bowes, a good win in his first heat, going up the inside of Masters down the back straight, a little untidy but a good win. Before making a good gate and leading for 3 laps before what seemed to be a nasty off. Could’ve been 6/6 but instead on way to hospital.

Young lad who could ride the airfence and beat anyone when on it. His form did fall of a cliff once the move up but as he’s a treble winning Pirate I’d certainly welcome him back, on the right average

Couldn’t believe what I was seeing when he first rode for Poole. Was riding at 6, and felt like he was beating everyone, including Sam Masters. And then moved to number 2 and confidence deserted him and he hardly scored a point. Shame as I would always welcome him back to Poole

Going on last year Zach seems to ride well within himself until the business end of the season. Imo there’s no such thing as too good for the championship, masters has been ‘too good’ for it for years, but he isn’t interested in testing himself like Douglas, Ben Cook, and many many others. That’s not a dig at Masters, as I said hes probably been the best rider in the championship for many years now.

How did he look? Was he on the pace? Quick out the gate? Poole will likely need a new 2 point rider for next season

Hopefully it all clicks when he returns. If he can start scoring like he can then we will really walk the league. it’s very close to who will be at reserve for Poole next month, it’s close between Cairns Kyle and Fraser, currently Cairns and Kyle will stay/ drop

My biggest worry when we dropped down was missing the big names like Holders and Doyle at the time they dropped. I didn’t like the fact that we dropped down, hugely against it. But from season 1 in the championship I’ve never looked back. Especially with the state of the premiership

Luke Killeen had a fall and was then collected by Ritchings, Luke after being with the medics was up and about seemingly ok

As much as I miss Ben being in the Poole team, he was too good for this level, riding in the polish top league and capable of being unbeatable on his day, he’s not too far of GP standard and I wouldn’t be surprised if we see him in them in a few years. If we were to make the step up to the premiership, I’d like to think he’d be first name on the team sheet

It was announced that Riss was extremely close to returning a week or two ago. So I’d assume he’s back anytime now

Level down the straight and then went across Zach, clipped him going into the corner and then hit him again, Anders certainly the cause of the stoppage

Brave decision by the ref but he got it right. Anders had his leg across Zach and then out of control into the corner and gave Zach no chance to stay on the bike or get out the way

Can’t believe the ref allowed that race to start

It’s certainly dusty

Stream is on and looking forward to it. Hopefully the track is better than it was last time Pirates visited after some horrific crashes in Poland this week, hoping for a safe meeting. Never feel too confident against Oxford, especially away
