think Bowes is a good signing to be honest. 

 Got an average based on very good home form at Worky. interesting signing though.

They’ve gotta do all they can to get him a massive star of the future,like you say there something has got to be worked out as he’s surely even with new tracks he’s gotta figure out can see him hitting 7.00 or even more.

Nowt like putting pressure on a young kid

So with Lawson, Cairns and Bowes confirmed, any thoughts/predictions on who the final four will be?

Didn't Cooper Rushen sign when he was 15 ?

If I remember correctly Mr Bowes got a ban off the SCB for with holding his services, but comets did not have any more fixtures left, should this ban not be carried over to 2026 ?

I think so, but I don't make the rules unfortunately.

He certainly has the potential to put at least a point on his average. Tobias was a rider that we were sceptical about but he gave his all for the team which is all you can ask. If Bowes does the same I think we will all be happy.

Agree Bowes has potential. He had 3 very good meetings for Worky at home against Scunny and Glasgow and away at Poole the latter after which he was probably tapped up for 2026. He failed to back those performances up in subsequent meetings.

  He missed a few meetings for Worky and never rode at Plymouth or Oxford. He found Armadale extremely challenging scoring 2 points from 8 rides over 2 meetings but he wasn't alone among Worky riders who struggled there. If he gates at Poole he will score okay but if he doesn't I believe he may struggle. He followed up his 13 for Worky with 2 guesting for. Glasgow.

He won't have the same pressures on him next season bearing in mind he probably won't be riding in Poland where he never pulled up any trees in the U24's or for Tarnow. I wish him well but you are welcome to him the way he treat Workington.

Agree re Bailey I think so long as massive pressure not dumped on him from day one he will be the next Aussie superstar in 5-10 years time. As an aside James Pearson seems to be scoring pretty well in Aus could be worth a punt for someone no idea what his average was when he was last in the UK but guessing sub five ?

Not so sure you’ll see Beau Bailey. He has already signed for Region Varde in Denmark…and we all know what night of the week they race on over there. 😉

Rowe isnt the only one expecting to be paid more than Pirates are willing to pay!!

I think the Pirates are to be commended on refusing to bow to increased rider demands above what was agreed in the original 2 year contract.

Bowes saying he loves Poole because its a "technical track" is laughable. The guys the least technical rider ive seen

Yeah just read that myself really weird thing to say, if he thinks Poole is technical wonder what he would class all the other tracks as. 😂
