Agree,it’s not that long ago that Clubs had to ride 40+ meetings per season.Poole and Edinburgh don’t even share same race nights,they would have been better saying nothing as coming up with that excuse.Poole will have an alternate race day if they had to use it.
Remember Sam Ermolenko neatly taking Richard Knights leg away going into the 1st/2nd bend Lap2/3 causing him to fall.It was deliberate, so IMO it was dirty.Think Sam said Richard had been hard on him on previous lap.Simple falls can end riders career without being assisted.
