Yes he seems to find the Poole team more interesting than his own. Can't blame him for that. -

I don’t think Lawson will guest as often this season if he is riding in Poland -

I guess the other Poole riders were more wise to it this year! Plus Hagon was at no2 for last half of the season and if he did have a good race was normally H8 (unless he was taken out of it). Also Sam goes quite wide into the bends especially 3 and 4 (which doesn’t really work early in the meeting) so maybe Rich not comfortable team riding then as could lose team points. *that was quite difficult using words that people won't turn into something dodgy like yesterday!* -
Whilst this may look like an opportunity for more track time for NDL standard riders it looks to me to be another sticking plaster approach just like the promised ‘ more opportunities via individual meetings’ that they said would happen in 2024. The fact was that only three/ four of those meetings actually took place. Whilst we don't know the full make up of teams yet, the fact that they expect riders to double up sets the alarm bells ringing. Some of these NDL riders who appeared in 2024 will not be riding next season for reasons of ‘too good’, retired or simply cant afford it with the new silencers and rev limiters being required  ( about £600 to be found per bike ). So already the SIX NDL sides are hunting for riders , some for two or even three . Yes, theres a couple of 15 year olds to come in , but not loads so just where do the rest of them come from ? The TROPHY sides need to find riders willing to ride and also willing to ride mid week and travel , they might yet struggle to find enough riders willing to double up as the rumoured pay rates will not attract riders who hold down a full time job. Fixture planning needs to be very carefully thought through. Is there a long term plan attached to this idea ? Will current NDL riders be cueing up to get in a Trophy side ? Let’s hope it thrives…….time will tell.
