  1. Much better commentary than they get on Eurosport from 'straightaway' Sam!! Incidentally some good action and great comments from heat 13 on BBC South Sport this evening!!
  2. A good meeting to watch. Well done BV on the win. If anything I was a little dissappointed with the early Poole performances and thought Poole would scrape a 2-4 point win. Hey ho!! I did then remember there will be a new set of official averages out effective Monday 19th for the play-offs. I suspect a slight re-shuffling of the Poole 1-7 aside from any replacement or guests!!
  3. What night would you have chosen? Isn't NKI (and Batch for that matter) also involved in the Danish League finals on Wednesday/Thursday?!
  4. If Hans rides on Saturday then his injury cannot be classed as 'season-ending' unless he aggravates the hand again and withdraws from all other racing - allowing MF just a few days prior to 21st to bring in the rider who is on standby!! NB. I think Poole have a better chance of getting something out of BV tonite rather than at the Adrian Flux tomorrow. Chris Holder will be 'cream crackered' on his 4th big meeting in 4 days. Buzz will still be nursing his wrist injury after over-riding to impress at BV and Bjarne will not have the speed for the big Arena track!!. ;-) ;-)
  5. Danny King, Lewis Kerr in plus Porsing returns. Poole same 1-7 as at Belle Vue, which includes Tungate (unless he has an absolute stinker tonite!)
  6. Well lets hope its more than just a decent crowd on a non-bank holiday Monday, with most schools having gone back and with Sky showing it. Always good to have a great crowd for the cameras.
  7. They won't be banned - as always it'll be the GP riders' own choice if they ride UK next year. Maybe Rosco and the other promoters know there will be a squad system or shared number 1's?!
  8. I think Troy, Rory (and also Davey Watt) need to prove their all back on it during the winter back in Oz - maybe all in the Aussie Championships, before anyone takes another risk!!
  9. There will surely be one British rider from this year's EDR that will be at reserve in each team's 1-7 - and only allowed to go into a 2nd string position if good enough!?
  10. Looking at the line-ups (subject to Poland today!!) it looks a fairly even contest. Should be a good'un for Sky viewers.
  11. Poole can't permanently replace both riders without re-declaring the 1-7 under 40.50 points!! Not a cats chance of achieving that. So it could only be one permanent replacement and/or 'horses for courses' guests from the bottom 4 clubs - not forgetting the 8-day rule.
  12. Probably still trying to find riders that will ride with no guarantees of getting paid!! A 'promise' of a team place next year is hardly going to hold much water - unlike the track!!
  13. So the Stars still in the EL for 2017 then?!
  14. Assuming he is racing somewhere over the weekend, if there is any reaction to his wrist injury then I'd prefer he carried on 'resting' it. He needs to be fully fit when he returns and start racing like he was a couple of months ago - same with Hans who has had his op today!!
  15. I never believe the club website averages - they hardly ever agree with the official BSPA ones - Poole included!! Many clubs try to update averages after every meeting which is laudible, but the only figures that matter are the BSPA averages which are updated officially every 2 weeks.
  16. It was a 2-year deal with the incentive of a testimonial, but with the condition he reached an 8-point average!!
  17. Agree - I doubt Chris Holder will ride here next year!! Personally I like the 'mid-reading'. It often means you can miss out the carp at the beginning and the end!!
  18. Where do you get that average from? Are you keeping your own spreadsheet, cos it still says 5.49 on the latest BSPA averages!? (I realise that doesn't include this week's score)
  19. I hope that as Harris has been named, he is fit enough to complete the meeting!!
  20. He could be!! Although the 'word' on Wednesday was that it was more likely to be Tuesday. I guess he will have some sort of test outing over the weekend and then see how the wrist reacts?!
