But the trouble is, riders that were being lauded (by Poole fans) as world beaters before the season start have now turned into national league standard riders. This is why people constantly smell a rat where Poole are concerned.
In a shock move Poole have been granted permission to use Greg Hancock on a assessed 2.00 average as a replacement for James Shanes. A BSPA spokesman said `due to Pooles poor start to the season & Greg being away from the premier league for a few seasons it is only fair to allow this move in the best interests of the sport. #cheats never prosper.
Think Poole pulled the plug after seeing Somerset put in a decent performance at Leicester. They will be hoping to fit them in later in the season when the Somerset riders are not available so riding against a patched up team.
