He did ok, a little improvement, riding at 2 suited him, still looks uneasy and lacking confidence on the bike but Redcar were so poor it maybe made him look better.

I am confident we will win the battle of the reserves, Jody Scott has been impressive and goes well at Poole but Cooper has outperformed him for Kings Lynn so it should be a good tussle.

Exactly and if you look at what Gilkes said, he was disappointed but understood the reasoning. The facts are he was not fit at the start of the season, he has spent a lot of time and money trying to get fit but he turned up for his first meeting and scored one point so he clearly is not ready yet. From a Poole point of view, we got in a rider to cover for his absence who did very well, this rider is a Pirate through and through who has always given his all for us, to dump him for a not yet fit rider would be stupid. I feel sorry for Dan Gilkes but this is a sensible decision.

Kyle at reserve will be terrific, I am so pleased he is staying, always liked him, always gives his best for us.

Yes I hope so, his high score was against Scunthorpe although he did beat Pickering once. Hopefully Lawson will help him improve.

Fair point, we need to see how he goes in his next meetings, apparently guesting for Workington, see how that goes in what should be easier than riding at Leicester.

Yes but if Gilkes is not fit yet maybe we should be looking elsewhere or just wait to see if he can get fit with Leicester.

Definitely need to keep Kyle, maybe replace Bowes with someone who could score a few points.

Isnt he still under 28 day rule

Only if Poole release him.

Haha we are not the Comets!

I dont think so.

Cant Bowes move to 8!!

He wasnt replying to you.

Haha we are not Glasgow Tigers!!

Can't believe you are moaning about Harris, he sometimes starts the season slowly but by the end he is giving everything for his teams, he has been very good in the Premiership but I would have thought you could forgive him the odd off night or the odd fall. You know he will come good when it matters. Not surprised Danny King beat him, he has been riding very well recently. As you say not your biggest problem.

I feel it will be a good test for our reserves as Jody Scott is going exceptionally well at the moment.

Yes it looks that way, he could come good but it doesnt look promising. We seem to have signed him on the basis of one outstanding meeting, it seems obvious to keep Kyle Newman who has been very good.

You can have Bowes!

Pirates beat everyone, you should be used to that by now! Last season was a bit of a blip!

I would have liked Workington, thought that would be the easiest but they are worse than I thought!!

Haha, you lost at home, unforgiveable.

I thought the previous system was better, dont agree there should be two lcq's but those are the rules and Woryna passed Bewley in the final so deserved to win, cant see him really getting close to winning the gp series so Bewley will be pleased with his night.

Possibly I dont know but he was terrific in the lcq and the final and had a unlucky tapes exclusion when Doyle moved and he reacted.

Great to see ex Pirate Woryna winning the GP.
