This would probably happen at Poole more than any other team. Poole can be 20 points up, but still take their weakest rider out of his 4th ride. Certainly happened to Sam Hagon at Oxford in the play-offs despite Poole being comfortably on front. I won't blame the likes of Berwick for doing the same thing to Freddie Hodder, because they were always losing, so needed to give the stronger reserve more rides. Poole's mentality is simply to win by as much as possible, which is there prerogative, but this could be a situation where it could hinder them, with a promising 2.00 rider decoding he'll get more rides elsewhere? No such worries for Cairns, he'll be expecting to be the stronger reserve & get extra rides.

Fair points, good answers Cheers

When is that it will be the rich pirates contribution to the development of British youth lol.

Let's see if he gets any Championship guest (injury) bookings elsewhere? He'll likely be at Poole for one meeting this season anyway.

so has he gave up on speedway seems like his bottle went half way through last season ?

Kvech came mid season also and sometimes decent riders get binned off when a double change is made, didn't that happen to Chris Harris at Leicester the season before last? Having said that it's not really the way to go about team building and Brum seemed more than reluctant to make any team changes last season with Pisspoor Pawlicki almost completing the season.
