SteveLyric2 Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 I think in Adam's case, if things didn't work out abroad, Poole would have him back if the points limit allowed. He has several Poole-based sponsors!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not entirely. The follow up question is why has he chosen Denmark (probably no more than 8 fixtures) over the UK? (I suspect Poland, Denmark and Sweden all being in Schengen unlike the UK might be a factor) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK still have a plan built on "can't run without fans in the stadiums", which is still a distinct possibly... Cannot blame riders for following the leagues that appear to be making (as much as they can do), cast iron plans... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were (just for this exercise) to take out Cook and work on Rory/Steve W/Danny K/Josh Mac/Steffan Niel / Zane Kell you get 36.92 (after deducting the 2.5% Brit reduction). We can build to 38 plus a 3 point rising star or 39 plus a 2 point rising star. Then comes down to who do we get as that rising star ??. A number already signed up from 2020 but we went down the strength in depth Aussie route. Anders rowe I would lovew to have seen as geographically right area IF he was assessed as a 3 pointer (why not as he is only 18). Or even a 4 but rules say has to be a 2 or 3 pointer rising star. Others on the forum indicate he has already signed elsewhere but not seen any announcements. Would help if us the poor paying public who keep this sport afloat (as it cant run without supporters in UK) could be allowed to see what looks like a top secret rising stars list. Like what harm could it do us seeing it ??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted January 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 We could look like this then - 1.R Schlein 2. Josh M 3. S Worrall 4. S Nielsen 5. D King 6. Z Keleher 7. A Rowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case he finished in Somerset's top 5 in 2019 on a 4.38 average so even with the 2.5% discount he has an average higher than either Keleher or Cook so couldn't ride at 7, could he?

Im sure he won't but i would be sorely tempted to tell the Pirates to stick it as they went for unknown Aussies over a young Brit in the first place.
