Diamonds85 Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Got to get rid of Bowes and bring Gilkes back. Have Gilkes at 4 with Lewi and when Cooper hits his proper average you can partner him with Lewi. 1 Lawson 2 Gilkes/Newman 3 Kerr 4 Rushen 5 Cook 6 Cairns 7 Newman/Gilkes Don't need Bowes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biffa Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Could Dan Gilkes replace Shane Bowes though? I know it’s a straight swap for Kyle Newman as it was an injury replacement, but it would need a team re-declaration back to 40 points if Bowes was dropped, I think 🤷♂️. Do Poole have the space, average wise to swap Bowes/Gilkes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if it's a revised 40 point declaration kind of a situation, Gilkes for Bowes isn't an option. By my calculations that team would add up to 42.57. Worth noting that Coopers GSA is now a staggering 5.6 and Cairns 4.13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think he can, Shane may get a reduction on his average as he's not ridden for a few years. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Bowes average is higher than Gilkes? I’d of thought that would be fine. Can’t let Neman go in this form, however if Gilkes is not 110% then I’d still keep the struggling Bowes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you sign a rider on a lower average, Gilkes being lower than Bowes, then the teams average does not matter. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coopers average is still 2.00 on latest figures as he hasnt ridden enough meetings yet. Total current team average on official website is 40.47. Gilkes average is nearly a point lower than Bowes so we could re-declare or swap rider for rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Cooper gets his proper average, who would be a better reserve? Bowes, Gilkes or Newman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Thought the racing was decent in a decently watered track although as usual some riders don’t like to get their Kevlar dirty . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
