Just catching up on the result looking at the Updates page. Just wondering why Declan Kennedy and Luke Harrison were selected for Scunthorpe in heat 15? No disrespect to both riders but on the night their scores weren't what you would normally expect and other riders scored more.

clearly to give two riders extra racing laps who needed it

Scunthorpe had lost the meeting and their heat leaders didn’t fancy it. Or the promotion wanted to save some money on a pointless race. Either way they short changed the paying public who look forward to seeing the best pair of riders from both teams. Luckily Kennedy put up a brave fight v Lawson who took 3 laps to secure the 5-1. 

Some great racing last night. A shame the crowds are small here. Great race track.

Another stupid comment why risk your best riders in a meaningless race?

People pay good money to see the best riders. Thats why in the main you put your best riders in ht 15.Another stupid comment.

A lot of promoters would rather have cheaper riders in heat 15 if the result is not in doubt.

Nominations are at Team Managers discretion so you do not have to use best riders.

And here he is, the resident Poole correspondent, he just loves Poole, more than his own team Ipswich

Thanks to those who replied with their assumptions. I just wanted to know if anything was officially announced e.g. bike problems, aggravated an injury, heat exhaustion.

No if the meeting is won and bonus point is won them you don’t put your best riders in heat 15

The other week against Belle Vue we used Danny King and was so good seeing him beat Kurtz and Bewley 

Let’s hope you aren’t way ahead in a meeting and still use Lawson and then he gets injured in a race he doesn’t need to be in
