Changes At Poole


Recommended Posts

SHOULD be no such thing as an asset. Legally and morally wrong. If a rider doesn't have a contract then he neither belongs to or is an asset of any club... full stop.

Is this one of the reasons the Elite has lost many riders of quality when the better riders are owned as an asset by a small number of greedy promotions ?

But there is such thing as assets and has been for years.

 

There shouldbe no such thing as wildcards in the gps either but that will also never change no matter how wrong it is

Sayfutdinov average reduced due to not riding in GP's for 3 years & never getting a British Average, comes in on 3 points to replace Kurtz, leaving space for Milik to replace Ellis & Lindback to replace Newman. Both have signed up for ACU 2 month licensees as Elite Draft Riders.

I'd suggest it has a lot more to do with money wanted by the riders.

I expect Kenny Bjerre could be in for one or two guest appearances bit surprised he isn't doubling up for a EL team now he has a PL team place.

Doesn't sound like he wants to do too many meetings, as rejected a couple of elite league teams to ride for the Panthers as he has unfinished business for us in the play offs.

I disagree with you on both accounts, First one is quite simply dated and does nothing for the sport. Riders should be on signed contracts only. when that contract has finished, then the rider becomes a free agent. Also, For Poole take on board a sponsor and bring their rider assets with him make it more of a farce than normal...

 

Wild Cards are much more common sense. What harm is there in including a local rider, to bring in local punters, in a sport that needs all the help it can get. . I'd say that's Common Sense...

Posted on Twitter by Hans. Could be good news for Poole as no head injury and doesn't say anything about staying out injured for the rest of the season

 

hansi_andersenI see various rumours are floating about what's happen to me Monday. Yes I crashed heavily and my body has taken a beaten. I've broken a finger on my left hand (like I did last year at Swindon) and apart from that and some bruises I'm fine and a few days rest will do me good before SGP Challenge on Saturday #34 #BackOnTheBigStage2017 #CanSupportMe

Sounds good news, hopefully back soon and in top form for the play offs. I know i said we could be better with a replacement but probably the best option is to have a fully fit Hans. Hopefully he can use his sec bike for the gp challenge and the play offs which seems to have more power than the one he has been using over here.
