Confused? He was only excluded in one and i think Kurtz helped him go down there. I take it you weren't there. As for Violins, you stated Newman scored more. He should as only against other reserves. Garrity beat your number 5 & 2 Reserve of the night for me was Bates who looked super fast & would have won heat 12 if he had not stopped to team ride Sarjeant. Rider of the night for me though was Kaspazak. Promising signs from our new signing as well on his first home meeting. As for Starmans conflicting statements about the track, 😂😂😂😂 How would he know sat at home. His own rider Brady said he was a fan of the Coventry track tonight, yet I remember him not being as complimentary about your own at P & P

Garrity has harder races as riding in main team. Garrity beat Pooles no 5 Buzz & Kurtz tonight whilst Newman only beat the bees reserves (who also beat him) and Garrity in one race.

Unfortunately no track is great this time of year when it's freezing cold and at times frosty. Didn't Kurtz & Ellis comment on your own track being poor

They should be ok with RR as others ride Brandon well. Holder is always very hit and miss.

Drizzling at the moment but no rain forecast so hopefully it won't amount to much. Need to wrap up warm. Prediction 38-52

Doyle & Morris seemed disappointed when they were told a couple of weeks ago they had to ride in this meeting instead of elsewhere. Not convinced a gun needed to be held to Nick's head.

I think this meeting will be won by Poole at reserve.

I think he will then struggle like he sometimes does for Plymouth against stronger riders and will return to reserve. I think he is a good rider but can never see him doing well in a British Final or becoming a heat leader in the EL. I think he is what he is now, a good reserve rider

He mainly has easier races in the EL though as only against other reserves & 2nd strings most of the time

Completely agree. Yes it's ok having ambition but this year the reserves can move up in to the main team so Garrity could have done so if he scored well. He's not going to score as well in the main team. On paper our reserves were always going to struggle. That said this has never been one of their best away tracks. Sounds like Kacper showed some positive signs and fought hard for his points.

I think we will see a few teams making changes once the heat leader list are no longer a requirement from May

Because the shield is really just a open season meeting. Most people aren't really all that bothered about it.

RR for Kaspazak tomorrow to give the riders more track time. He is hoping to be back Friday. This meeting will mostly be riders trying and testing things on the bikes so best he waits till fit.

The problem with Hans is last year Brandon was often set up for racers as we had a team of racers. Hans problem was he is mostly a roll and rider rather than a racer which says more about him than the track. When he did try to race and overtake, it sometimes resulted in him bringing off his teammates or cutting them up and throwing away points.

Because isn't it only the no 6 reserve that can move in to the main body of the team?

Haha, has Andersen forgotten how rubbish he was In the SEC and some of his abroad meetings last year as well. Didn't help team spirit when he was riding like a reserve and having a go at fans and team mates. He will be the same with Poole if fans say anything about the dates he will miss or don't give him praise. Glad he's not a bees rider this year

I think this will be a easy home win, with or without KK. Poole have a team with 4 heatleaders (still not sure how buzz wasn't on the list) whilst Coventry have a team with 4 reserve like riders. Predict 52-38

I imagine he would be as if badly bruised he is going to be very sore. At least it's only really like a friendly meeting and not a league one. Wonder who we will have guesting

Have to feel for him. He seems a nice lad but sounds out of his league.

Well said 👍🏻

Terrible start to the season. Kaspazak is off to hospital with a suspected broken collarbone!!

Not surprised after the heavy rain we had. Garden at work is still waterlogged as well Didn't care about that in 2010

Very poor. Let's hope this isn't a sign of things to come

No I do not support any PL club. I just think Sheffield look very good if they can all hit form. Somerset and Glasgow also look strong.

Are Doyle & Swindon having problems again already 😕
