The Doctor... Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Surely not far off in the weeks Poole had two meetings? Indeed - in his later Poole days, Tony Rickardsson was on £125 a point. That was years ago so it's quite possible for a top rider to do 4-5k with two meetings a week nowadays. Btw Starman, my source was the rider himself. So please don't try to tell me otherwise.

He had consumed a few shandys at that point tho 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Looking at last week's averages in speedway star Kacper is about a point lower than KK this season so not a great difference. Ability is one thing, form is another. KK appears to be having another of his rubbish years which he is prone to have. His world class status isn't being earned this year and it's looking unlikely you have a ready made replacement waiting to fill his shoes so is likely to earn a reprieve I'd imagine. Which of course is great news to those teams with serious ambition this season. Personally I do not see any point in replacing KK yet he won't be at Wolves next Monday but he is crap at Monmore even on good form so that is a bonus, I expect they will give him a couple of meetings to prove he can still do a job at number one when he comes back from injury, he maintains his equipment is good so he is blaming himself which is refreshing as most blame equipment when things are not going well.

Cheers I have it on excellent authority that TR was on £180 per point in the latter stages of his Poole stint - plus the usual other stuff!!! BTW not sure what all the current conjecture is for KK?? He will start practicing again next week (he will not be available for Poole's 2 away meetings next week) and MF has stated he will give KK the chance to find his form again BUT expects him to start scoring as a number 1 very quickly or risk the consequences by the end of June.

That's even worse as he is one of the worst confidence riders around. Let's hope for Poole fans sake he is able to turn it around. Nothing to do with his equipment.

Yep, two engines were sent to poole in consecutive weeks from servicing before our break. So what does that tell you..

Steve Shovlar Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Not a cat in hells chance of that ever happening. You obviously have never seen him ride at Monmore. Utterly useless. He is utterly useless at Monmore. But he is a proper top speedway rider no matter how many dozens of posts you go on and on and on about him. Most speedway riders don't have to suffer piddly little Monmore more than twice a season. For Polish riders its a serious challenge and one many feel not worth worrying about as they only go there very occassionally. KK was second in the world quite recently and an acheivement most riders could only dream about. Sure his form is down currently but that doesn't mean he is a bad rider. His career proves how good he can be, regardless of your continuous insults at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
