Correct and its laughable anyone would suggest different. Pedersen had made the gate and Holder rode straight through him and was out of control in the process. How on earth that was all 4 back i will never know. Must of been the same ref who excluded Phil Morris at Newport twice when Anders Henriksson completely wiped him out on turn 1 twice in the same meeting years ago! holder should of been excluded without a doubt.

He wont be leaving Poole apparently as nobody ever wants to.

I thought you were referring to Cook being dropped. My bad.

Zack maybe. Ben no chance.

Oh yes, of course!

Are you on about Cook or Worrall?

Bellego surely a no go due to past reputation in the UK?

Who is saying he has been dropped? Glasgow could of, and probably have, came in with a top offer for a top prospect ALA Basso two years ago and Poole cannot do anything about it?

True.

If I was Poole promoter, I would definitely not want to lose the Cooks but I would be seriously considering signing a new number 1.

Pedersen for me just had a bit more of a ruthless streak compared to Crump. Also the man to stop Rickardsson winning 3 on the trot. Crump tho I think got 10 top 3 medals in a row. But if both in their primes, Pedersen would of beaten Crump for me. Either way both superb riders. Now back to Sheffield 2024

Harris, B Cook, Complin and Pijper nailed on.

Thought Basso, Brennan, Vissing and Tarasenko only four confirmed to not return?

Agreed. After Trick, I'd put Crump joint second with Nicki P in the list of best riders I have seen since following the sport since 1999.

You'd have to expect Bailey back after his season just gone and the fact he is a Glasgow asset isn't he? Also, doesnt he work for the Glasgow owners during the week?

Its hilarious how certain Poole fans think no rider would ever want to leave them!

Crumpy I think was a huge mentor for Holder later on, which is quite mad when you think back to Crump and Holders fall out in Cardiff a few years before.

Exactly. And for a change of scenery and to stop the chance of going stale.

Would you like to bet on that??

No idea but doubt he will ride second tier if he was willing to leave Glasgow and wants to progress in Poland?

No doubt Pedersen wasnt happy and tried the mind games and fair play to Holder, he held his nerve and done it and became world champ and I don't doubt that. What I do doubt is how he was in the re run in the first place. As I said, no doubt Nickis past behavior went against him this time like it did many times in his latter GP days.

Harris and Ben Cook top 2. Complin and Pijper reserves. How many points does that leave for other 3?

Why, because a good source has told me this? Or do you Poole fans think no rider would ever dare to leave? Cook may well of seen Basso's progress since leaving and want a bit of it? And he is currently a better rider than Basso was when he left.

Bet Poole fans absolutely hate not being the big money club these days. Can you imagine 10 years ago Glasgow paying way more than Poole for top prospects? Haha. First Basso and now Ben Cook. And probably his brother as can't see one going with out the other.Maybe Poole will have to keep S Worrall afterall.

Well thats no good at all. Expecting fans to pay and turn up to see a bang average foreigner not try hard cos he isnt fit. Another reason fans stay away. The day that clubs and promotions rule the roost rather than riders, especially mediocre foreign riders, is the day the sport may start heading upwards rather than down the sewer.
