Not sure - he didn't do well at Loomer, but it was not good situation he was coming into - he crashed and after that wasn't really in the running - think he hurt himself at Mildenhall. With a bit of nuturing in the off season, he could have still be considered for one of the threes, but the fact he has not automatically been given a place either means he's been put off, or Mal has doubts.

Quite right; must admit didn't it much thought but if thought worthy then Mal would of given him one of the empty slots. Just found a bit of one of his races for the Potters on youtube. Hard to say on that if he will be ok or not. Did not like the way he was brought in for Ben. To me shows the man that Ben is to come back just a few weeks later and perform as he did. Not long now. Will get to the "trial" if possible.

Just seen that Adam Mckinna has signed for Stoke has one of the riders Stoke already signed dropped out? Surely they cant fit. Birks, Worrall, Atkin, Mckinna and Pickard all in?

 

Their averages work out at 37.52 so one of Birks, Worrall, Atkin or Pickard must have dropped out or are they gonna take in turns to ride with Birks and Worrall also having PL Duties?

are sqaud systems allowed ?

rule 17.9 -initial declaration will consist of a sqaud of 8 riders ,of whom the highest 7 riders by MA must not exceed 40.00 points with the 8th riders MA not exceeding that of the lowest rider in the top 7

 

I have no idea. It could be that Richie isn't available for the first few meetings, and instead of messing around with R/R, we go with Adam for the first few then see where we go from there?

 

For the record, the press release from stokepotters.co is here:

 

STOKE Easy Rider Potters have signed Adam Mckinna on loan from Premier League club Newcastle.

 

McKinna who rode for the Belle Vue Colts last season joins the Loomer Road club on a 7.14 average and will link up with his new team mates at the club's press and practice day on Wednesday 28th March.

 

Potters team manager Malcolm Vasey commented "Adam is a very useful and experienced rider who has unfortunately suffered with injuries. He is a very competent rider who will help us out at the start of the season and we will review the situation when everyone is available."

 

 

Stoke's first meeting of the season is a challenge fixture against the Isle of Wight at Loomer Road on Saturday 31st March.
