Nothing broken there, he can still ride 😏 So looking at Antons Swedish and Polish league average the criteria was met for a 7.00 point average along with Dudek, Bartosz, Vaculilk and the Laguta's who would also arrive on these shores on a 7.
Kyle was awful on sky meeting this week locking up all over the place, but Garrity often steps over the line with some of his over riding and taking riders out.
This is when Poole needed a number 8 this year, would have made covering some of these riders easier with your own rider. Not sure why Matt never did sign a number 8.
If Hans is out for the season, Matt dosn't have many options with a 7.15 average. Shamek likely to be the best option on a 6.75, Dudek im sure now would be more than a 7.00 as would Bartosz.
So option wise there isn't a massive amount out there, MJJ or Leon Madsen too.
Matt has missed the boat here regarding changes, rarely does it but this year he has messed up. The writing was on the wall 4 weeks ago away from home when Buzz, Hans and Bjarne were all struggling and none have improved massively. No team changes were put forward before mid night last night.
I'm sure if it was the same situation in Poland Chris wouldn't even get a choice. Said he did have a toothache but has pulled out with a migraine.
Let's hope his is fit for Thursday oh and Swedish Play offs tomorrow.
Not a chance now sadly, early season form has gone. Cook and co need to start a fresh next season, build the team around AJ and stop bringing back Lawson, Kennett and co as they always let you down when needed.
Fresh faces at the race way is a must.
Well done Swindon, you wanted it so much more. With the playoffs only 3 weeks away and the team still not working as a unit I feel we won't be making it 4 league titles on the trot!
Poor display from Buzz again away from home, Andersen, Newman and Bjarne look like they need more speed.
Fantastic meeting and well done to Poland on the win, team GB did us proud with silver. Now getting ready for the long drive back to Poole.
Thought the ref made a few mess up's last night if you follow the rules in the programme - only 1 tac and 1 joker permitted per team - Aussie ht 12 Masters replaced Josh then heat 15 Holder replaced Josh with Doyle on a joker in heat 16, so I make that 3!!
No tacs permitted between seats 17-20 - Sweden make a late change and Put Freddie in ht 19 as a tac in place of Antonio.
