Poole vs Oxford BSN SF 1st leg 13/08/25

[LisaColette]

Interesting choice of guest for Oxford, see if the 12/13 points Jye got was a one off or not. No way will Hagon be as good as Gusts though imo.

Any chance of a postponement in Denmark again please 😅

Well yes, glad to see Hagon named instead of Gusts.

So Oxford don't seem to be in a good place right now, but neither do Poole, so it should be a good match up. Just praying that the Pirates can finally get their s..t together and get back to fulfilling their potential. Time for Middleditch to step up and earn his crust, I'm thinking!

Zach and Anders (who may be suffering from injury) need to up their performances, particularly out of the gate. I appreciate track conditions haven't been ideal but it's the same for both teams and Workington and Plymouth both were close to us despite injured riders!!! Tobias always tries but is also struggling. Will and Paul are doing their jobs.

Etheridge for Gusts at 2 and Hagon for Knudsen at 7. Gusts would not be as free scoring as last time in any case even if he was available.

Etheridge a good guest. Hagon blows hot and cold. Should be a close meeting again the way we are riding. 
 

Sizzling hot today and tomorrow. Need to flood the track tonight.

Anybody who thinks Etheridge and Hagon are good guests for Gusts and Knudsen should apply for the position as Peter Shroeck's assistant.

that second half looks more appealing 

those lads and lasses on the 250s are fantastic to watch
