Tbf he also said track is same for everyone so no excuses... Apart from the track prep! Apparently Anders ended up using a setup that he would use at Oxford, so no wonder they rode well!

How long do you think Kerr will be given? I wouldn't be dropping Kerr, all the seasons he has ridden in the second tier over the years tell you that his scores won't stay low. As for King, why would he leave Redcar while he is settled and happy there? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Oxford turned up looked at the track and got set up right.Poole turned up “ looked” At the track and got it wrong. All we ever hear now is the “ the tracked was different from last week”.Pretty poor for professionals who have been riding for years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Poole riders weren't happy with parts of the track prep on the track walk, so you kinda on a loser before it even started imo. But I agree, whether it's different or not how they like it, they should know what to do. Which they kinda did near the end. Just left themselves to much to do imo.

Its just a case of get on the bike and ride. The lad is 16 or will be, he has years of developing to do . So anybody who thinks that is completely barking up the wrong tree. You put pressure on ever rider from day one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitza Posted Thursday at 10:02 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:02 PM OK, sorry I'm a bit late to the party, it seemed to me that on Wednesday night Poole turned up feeling entitled to a win, Anders & Kerr being the only ones to show any fight until after heat 6. Kerrs throttle issues was ridiculous for a professional. After Poole's first 5-1 things did look up but only a bit. Poole need to start gating better not just in heats but in meetings too. Tobias needs to get back to his more aggressive self, and as for Marson well he's just a waste of space. Just as well Killeen's form has dropped off a cliff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essex Posted Thursday at 10:31 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:31 PM 1 hour ago, SteveLyric2 said: Middlo's interview on this week's Piratecast podcast today tried to explain how the Poole riders arrived with the same set-ups as their other home meeting v Plymouth. Unfortun ately the track prep and weather were totally different and it wasn't til the second half of the meeting that Poole began to claw back the deficit. Never prepared a track but surely the curator would do what the riders ask these blokes are professional how can the track catch them out as for Starke he is a journeyman tries but never set the world on fire I agree with others Foord would have been a better bet but did I read his dad was a bit inebriated and had issues with Oxford fans in the final that's why he's been let go as for Kerr the jury is still out when you ride for Poole you need to hit the ground running let's give him time if he has new engines then he wants to succeed but he needs to start scoring more points otherwise ..........

As for King, why would he leave Redcar while he is settled and happy there? I'd give Lewi more time as well. He's started well for Sheffield, only 3 meetings, but averaging 6.91. Hes only 4 meeting in. He's averaged 8.00 for Poole at home, and 3.50 away, and he had bike trouble in 1 of them. So it's his away form that he needs to improve on. I'm pretty sure it will come. He averaged around 8 in the Champ away from home last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would seem he was withdrawn on medical grounds on Wednesday after his 4th ride in heat 13. There are photos of him 'having words' with Jenkins at the end so whether that was something to do with it......? Catalan should know..! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
