They have done well, better than what I thought but the favourites in the playoffs always have pressure on them no matter who it's from.

He would come in on an 8, but Matt wanted him a couple of years ago, but he didnt want to ride here due to his other comitments. But as every other promoter will tell you, it doesnt just finish there.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't you expecting them to do well with the best rider in the world? They have the best team and not at least getting to the final would have to be considered failure.

You can't win a Championship with one rider, the others need to play their part, and no way did i think Somerset would do as well as they have, as all the pundits thought in the S. Star at the beginning of the season ! . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 17 hours ago, stevebrum said: Im not convinced. He has been poor all year everywhere. Interesting comment, would be intriguing to see who it might have been. Heard Pawlicki (Piotr) was linked to come to Poole wether that would have been on his actual 7+ plus average or the reassessed 9 rumoured for GP standard riders. None of the Poles were affordable despite positive discussions with Dudek, Pawlicki and at least one other. Thats why the plan B became Brady at 1 with the hope that Holder hit form straight away and takes over the Number 1 spot from the first or second set of averages. All water under the bridge now as we know what happened. Still Bomber at 1 for the second leg at home will make for an interesting scenario. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No true you can't but it helps if you have a rider that can win most of his races, so Somerset have got a good team and made some good changes like Covatti and Summers who have done well for them. It isn't the team you start with that is important its the team you finish with. Somerset are clear favourites and as such will be under pressure to finish the job.

Bagpuss Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) Nobody fancied Lynn or Somerset for the Play Offs let alone the title, if the final is between those two teams it would be quite remarkable. Its very open though, a Belle Vue v Poole final wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest. Edited September 9, 2018 by Bagpuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just needs a couple of riders to stand up and be counted when it matters to swing things in their teams favour. A shame we have a week gap. Would be better to be riding at Somerset tomorrow night.
