75% of the missing riders average possibly??or nl guest. 

That's the rules as far as I understand, but because it's the pilots that new rule will probably apply. " In the interests of speedway" 😜

Yeah. Both gilkes and Bowes wont be ready. 

 

Also lawson had no bikes for Ipswich press and practice. Wonder if he will be sorted 

Wasn't their something earlier in winter about Lawson losing a sponsor or having some other issues with who supplied his bikes 🤔

Dan gilkes pulled out of Ben fund not sure what facility Poole should get if he's not fit for 1st match of the season if any? Same for fraser bows who is rumoured not to be fully fit 

 

Talking to Fraser earlier and he says no problems from  injury so should be ok

It wouldn’t surprise me if Dan Gilkes is still troubled by last seasons injury. Not sure about averages but perhaps Kyle Newman could offer short term cover.

Love Kyle Newman back even if only for a short time.

I wonder how much of a percentage discount he would get?

Well I would imagine his last average was probably a bit higher than Gilkes and probably wouldnt get enough reduction for him to fit.

Nick Morris also pulled out. Maybe it's a Leicester thing? Fraser got some laps in at Wimborne Road on Wednesday. Any more rumours??

Dan had a fall at Leicester’s press&practice and was limping in the pits after it Nick also came off but he still managed a few laps at Berwick on Friday

Other reports from the Leicester p&p were that Dan hurt his arm when hitting the 3rd/4th bend safety fence. And Leicester are reported to have released him, although possibly only a rumour?!

Thanks for confirming the rumours instead of the usual smoke screens.

Well his average fits, with a 1 year 8% reduction and then 2.5% British discount.

I was a tad surprised that Poole went for Dan Gilkes with his injury record...

Poole have streamed their meetings in the past so I'd assume they will continue to do so. Any links are probably on their website and social media channels.
