· Kemp let go as he wasn’t really a team man, when things went wrong he would get quite down and insular. Kemp lives in Ipswich, but they chose Joe Thompson over him. Has talent but………………………
· Agreed to let Morris go to Leicester. Went down a particular path which probably would have meant having the best reserve in the league (with presumably Morris’ replacement not being as good), then Schlein contacted them. Thought about it over 3 days and then agreed to him coming back, resulting in a change at reserve. Zach Cook contacted them, and agreed to that move.
· Schlein going to be kept busy riding in both leagues and having a full time drivers job with Hermes ( he had that when last here)
· Adams helping Woffinden again and he is the lightest he has been for years ( Woffinden not Adams !)
· Would not be surprised to see Thorsell back at some point in the future.
· Flint had a lot on last year driving himself and doing his own mechanical work. Got a mechanic now to help him.
· Need Becker and Flint to improve in order to challenge for honours. Becker in particular needs to establish himself as a genuine heat leader.
· Every team needs a Steve Worrall, always helping younger/other riders with advice and equipment. Needs to start winning heat 8 though!
