Well I had a maths teacher at school who was short and ok we were kids,but we used to laugh that he had to have a cushion on his car seat when he drove his VW camper.But he did seem to be that cliche of a small guy with a chip on his shoulder.The Meridian guy reminds me of that old teacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEVEHOLS54 Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Anyway back to Poole riders..... Looks like neither Kurtz or Holder jr will win the Aussie Champ and that's only after 2 of the 5 rounds. Holder Jr has been steady and Brady has blown hot & cold (same old inconsistencies) and once again blew it when making a A Final. Finished last of the 4 riders. The one guy who is doing well is the still class act Chris Holder who won todays meeting' with 17 from 6 rides incl winning the A Final. Shares the lead after 2 meetings with Fricke and Tungate. Can't see Holder Jr or Kurtz making up the shortfall in the last 3 meetings. Need to also get their skates on if they want to qualify for the SGP qualifiers. Not sure how many in the final rankings over the 5 meetings qualify through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how many in the final rankings over the 5 meetings qualify through. Kurtz has the habit of blowing his chances in these big meetings, either through falling or trying to hard. Its something i though he might iron out as he gets older Jack Holder will be the better of the two riders but as of yet isnt the class of his older brother or Fricke Tungate is doing well but always tends to down under and then doesnt seem to carry his form forward. If he could he would be a potent third heat leader Good to see Chris Holder doing well. On paper he is the favourite for the title before a wheel is turned but he is coping fine with that pressure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could Chris be using his POL engines. I assume they get new one's for the new POL season with all the money and sponsorship involved. Would have thought POL tuned engines more suited to the Aussie tracks. Similar questions apply to say Jack and Brady. In Chris's case I am sure he wants to get back into SGP as quick as possible so may have taken his best available engines to give him best shot ?? Of course it could have a bearing on a riders form if he wasn't on his best engine/s so always difficult to judge the form. Also can't judge how Aussie form will translate to UK next season on different tracks. Both Tungate & Kurtz had very in and out UK seasons. Below were last seasons results. Brady worries me a bit. I know only 2 meetings gone and 3 to go but needs to start performing as looks like top 5/6 gets you into the SGP qualifiers. Holder Jr/Masters & Kurtz lie 4/5/6 after 2 rounds.

Gavan Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 When Poole riders do average in Aussie champs we are told that it’s irrelevant. Nick Morris been poor and people saying it’s an issue. I would bet that Tungate finishes a good number of points ahead.....but yet next season Morris will have the higher average of the two 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Yes I guess it depends on how seriously each rider takes it. But as the past shows it isn't a great guide to how they will get on in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungate never seems to carry his Aussie form over here for whatever reason beating riders like Fricke Kurtz and Holder the majority of the time the last 2 Aussie champs yet all those 3 will be first or second heat leader over here while Tungate at best would be the third heat leader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
