Nicolai definitely in Denmark tonight so r/r will operate.
The Stars to win and finish top without question. They will then choose BV, leaving Poole to fight it out again with Somerset. Doyley is on record as saying that Somerset would choose Poole anyway, given the choice so maybe there is a bit of overconfidence building in the Somerset ranks with Poole's 1-7 not having performed well all at once so far.
The guys have been working frantically with the readymix so the track should be without that rut/hole for the next home meeting and the play-offs. Unfortunately there will now be a bump which might deter some from sticking their front wheel across the white line when they miss the gate?!
The infamous hole on bend 1 did seem to reappear yesterday - hardly surprising as there was so little shale on the track to help protect it due to the previous day's weather!!
However Doyley didn't hit the hole - he caught a rut right on the white line on bends1-2 which threw him a wobller and he caught his foot/ankle under the foot rest. I must admit from the grandstand it did look as though he shed a chain but he managed to pootle onto the centre green before sinking to his knees and then onto his back clearly in some pain.
Hope he's ok.
If Klindt rides for Poole it will clearly cost MF more money, by way of an agreed fee to the Danes!!! Presumably a similar deal exists in respect of other Danish riders - especially when fixtures are rearranged.
So from the horses mouth today, if Poole get the right results today ie guaranteed play-off place - then Klindt will ride in Denmark on Wednesday.
If there is still some doubt over Poole's play off spot after today then Klindt will line up at Kings Lynn!!
Non-speedway illnesses mean a mandatory 7 day absence. The press release states that Lawson (and Allen and BWD) will miss Monday's and Wednesday's meetings!!
