Bowes should not have been excluded for laying his bike down to avoid Kerr, Kerr should have been excluded as primary cause. Kyle was excellent and I would keep him, he is Poole at heart and always gives his best for us, he should have been given heat 15 with the meeting already won. Bowes seems to have been signed on one excellent meeting last season, tonight he was awful as he was at Oxford. Lawson on the other hand was brilliant. Bowes didn't lay his bike down which would mean he bailed out on purpose. He fell off trying to avoid Kerr who had an ef. Both should have been excluded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the reason he was still under power though as rode back to the pits so hard to say what caused the issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeandTV Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Oxford are a far different beast without Erik Riss. With him, they should be favourites - without him, might even struggle to make the playoffs. He makes that much of a difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple.H. Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Simplest team change in the League is Retain Kyle Newman and drop Fraser Bowes. With Newman you know that you get 100% every race, I'm not even a Poole fan and i'm advising them on how to strengthen an already decent team.

Agree H keeping newman is the easiest and cheapest option(no airfares!) Think Kyle and Gilkes only need to average 5 or even less,considerable strength in rest of team,we were saying last night "how many team building mistakes has matt ford made over the yrs?' not too many,sure all will be fine Edited April 30 by poole keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or that is what was said in interviews as season was starting. Unless he has helicoptor ride to the track 😁 Edited April 30 by LisaColette 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitza Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 (edited) My gut tells me Bowes could come good, but at the moment he's trying too hard, and over riding it. He needs to relax and ride instinctively, then the results would come. Might be in need of some form of support to give him some confidence. But time maybe running out? Also... I looked at the BSN tables and it struck me how crucial loosing the bonus point might prove to be for the Cheetahs. Surely one of the other second placed teams can score 5 points?!

PersonalResponsibility Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Bowes must thank his lucky stars that he's Australian, there can't be any other reason he gets so many opportunities. He's 25 this year and has barely achieved a 6pt average across his 5 seasons in U24 Ekstraliga + Championship. I don't think many Brits would get the same chances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Might be cheaper than a Brit ? But he's not that good at the moment to stick with him, as the fords are usually ruthless when coming to team choices 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 (edited) Kyle certainly improved after his first 2 rides. Maybe he needs to get 'fired up' in every meeting by a bit of a fracas in the pits?!

Dickie Head Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Let’s split hairs. With the benefit of hindsight after watching the BSN coverage this morning, Kerr had an engine defect, not a failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes true, Kerr was under power at time of stoppage so having excluded Bowes I am not sure there was a case to exclude Kerr as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
