Why is Bowes out for the return at Berwick?   He hasn't really contributed too many points this season, seems to spend more time off the track than on.

You were told about him when you signed him towards the end of the season last year 😃

We are not the promoters though are we.

Personally i think it would be better for him to pack up and go home, have a nice long break, get fit, and come back fresh next season

As long as he resigns for the pilots on his current 5 point average 😜

I don't think any rider resigns, not normally their choice.

I fear he will try & battle on even though probably not fit to. He also must need income with little to nothing coming in via his racing.

I think he knows he may be on his last chance to make it work in Europe.

He has in the main been shunned in POL/SWE/DK and I wonder anyway how many UK teams would have gone for him after the end of last seasons behaviour.

I think a lot will feel that at best this guy is a 4 or max 5 pointer even if fit which would tie in with how he was performing in POL. He didn't impress in their U24 League and progresed even less when appearing in their lower league/s.

Personally I think its only Cairns & Rushen over performing which is keeping him in the team but that option will go as they both move into the main team and they lose the option to replace his rides when required.

The Ford's may just persevere with him rather than pay for a better overseas option in the hope they can get away with it, but I am not convinced and just hope he doesn't cost the club trophy wise.

Must be very awkward in the Matt Ford household, being he lives there
