It would seem he was withdrawn on medical grounds on Wednesday after his 4th ride in heat 13.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..!

Didn't Jenkins have words with Lewi after the race where Lewi bike was packing up, and he tried to block him on the line

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.

 

He hardly rode last season due to injury,that’s the reason his average is still high (rolling average)

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. 

I thought the track rode brilliantly, some close races and passing.  Give me that anytime over the rather processional first meeting.

According to Speedway GB, Kerr rode 13 meetings in the Champ in 24. He averaged 7.09 in those meetings. But as you say his rolling average was higher. He came to Poole on 7.76.

Do you still get banned for 7 days if you pull out of meetings ill?

He has a valid medical cert so no ban.

If missing an official team match, then a non-speedway injury or illness gets a 7 day ban (medical certificate or not). But if he was injured riding Speedway then no ban.

I'm not sure what happens for the British final as Lawson chose not to enter, the same for the Pairs & Klindt didn't ride in the riders championship.

Or recurrence of existing injury.

Lewi kerr could well have a back injury from all the so called fans stabbing him in said area. He was a good signing 6 weeks ago!

Tbf SS, FB and Arthur never said he was a good signing. I thought he was though and still think he can be (i haven't had a go). It's only been second home meeting. Some people need to chilllllllllll 

Edit- also seen BK score lower for Poole when in the Prem consistently as a no1 and he never got sacked. But he was a management fave!

You put pressure on ever rider from day one.

Every rider knows whats expected of them when they ride for us. But in the case of young will im sure that he will give it his best shot,  He's 16 and  nothing is expected of him.  Its a big step up to what he's been used to.

He seems to be going ok for Sheffield but hasnt fired for us yet , I hope he does soon,Tobias could be covered until he gets back to the form we know he is capable of. Starke is not riding that badly, just needs to improve a little, he is probably not far off his average, he will certainly be ok against the 2 pointers.

To have a successful season you want riders 2025 average to be higher than their rolling average.

So far Lawson, Rowe, Cook, Thomsen & Starke have achieved that. Why would you move on riders who have upped their averages?

Kerr & Marson are the only disappointments. They've a replacement for Marson already lined up & I wouldn't even be thinking of replacing Kerr at this early stage of the season.
