The team had to lose 5.80 points after team building discounts. It was always going to look weaker. Once the other sides are all announced, I think the Poole team will look very good. It's pointless to compare teams to previous years - it's only worth comparing them to the opposition they will face. On that measure, I don't think there will be any concerns.

As expected....on a 6 average, cant see much improvement coming from that! Does mean he'll be classed as a second string, leaving the door open for Gilkes at reserve?

Danyon is a nice guy 100%effort.Thought his equipment let him down a number of times last season though, needs to sort that out.

How many riders are announced on 2 year deals but only do 1 season 

Erik Riss confirmed.

True, but I think the stability of being in a pretty much all conquering side brought him on that little bit further though. The biggest shock is replacing someone who rarely missed a meeting with someone who seems to spend more time in A&E than riding.
