Bagpuss Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 I think we all knew the top three would be powerful, the reserves are going to make or break this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole aren’t stupid every single rider we have signed so far is an asset of a team using our assets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 The way Ellis rode at the end of last season I thought he was ready to ditch the championship and move on. I think staying in the lower league can hold British riders back a bit. A good signing for Poole though. Could be the top second division rider next year.

Not if they're also riding in the Premiership. Doubling down just provides more rides and cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubling down just provides more rides and cash. Personally I think it does. I think it can hold them back - certainly with a rider like Ellis who can, I believe, move up into being a top international rider, but needs Polish/Swedish leagues to achieve that. Maybe one more year in the lower league will still be good for him, but I hope he will move on after that. No doubt that signing Adam is good business for Poole though. I think they needed a signing like this to give people a reason to support the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it fills their calendar meaning they have less opportunity to ride on the continent, which lets face it is where the very best riders spend most of their time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a rider had a spot on the continent which interfered with doubling down I'm sure they'd take the continent ride...if they haven't then there's nothing wrong in doubling down. What would you do? Double down and earn some £££'s or just ride Premiership and earn far less? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan dont you agree that Adam's average is very false? how many tape infringements and fall's did he have in 2019.He was one of a few who had the pace to lay up with Doyley and that is why i like the top four in the 2020 line up.Batch, Razzer, Adam all battling and pushing each other for three places.

I do, Sidney. The way he rode at the end of the year was sensational. If he can maintain that form then Swindon and Poole are on to a winner. He needs to watch the start infringements, though, it's true. The rider who rode in the play-offs last year did not look like a Second Division rider to me, but it's up to him I guess. I feel he is ready to push on now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying there isn't, the problem is British riders get in a comfort zone of riding in both British Leagues and don't push themselves to the next level which is what they need to do riding on the continent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobC Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 I like what I see of our team so far. My wish for Christmas would be to sign Alfie Bowtell. I like him a lot. He does fall often, but that is because he tries too much at times. With a 3.10 average, I hope we can fit him in. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just shows you that Adam who started at the IOW is learning his craft and that every rider develope's at a different rate.How far can he go i think a minimum of a regular international rider his aim this season should be to be in a pool of six riders for team GB and be alongside Woffinden,Lambert, Cook, Bewley, Wright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
