Basso is a young up and coming Dane who is already beating riders with a proven track record in his home country. Cones highly recommended by Klindt amongst others. Only has to average around 4-5 to be a success in the tricky number two berth, and with Ben Cook banging in the points at reserve could end up down there as a trump card. Think he will really like the Poole track and looking forward to seeing him next week against Newcastle. Provided we steer clear of injuries we are going to be there or thereabouts come the pointy end of the season. Looking very good indeed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Basso was reserve for the Danish U23 team in Germany a couple of weeks ago and had a couple of rides .. looked ok, but this was on a 400m track, i would say about the level of Leon Flint at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blown out of the water in the first 5 heats this was all over as a contest. A good crowd turned up and we’re treated at first to an under watered track. This was rectified after heat 4. But the starts were not even with advantage to gate 2 all night. 8 heat wins. From this gate. For Scunthorpe Nicol was an excellent guest. His first ever visit to Poole but scored a very good 11 from 6 rides. Palin the next highest with 7 from 6. Interesting that the best two scorers were guests. For Poole King only dropped one point as did Schlein. All riders did well with the exception of Bowtell who won heat 1 but struggled thereafter. The bigger news was the return of Ben Cook who looked rusty in his first two rides but brilliant in his last two as he got dialled in. With Ben Basso joining the team in the number two berth from herein it looks very ominous for the other clubs in the league. For the first time in ages Pirates will be at full strength. A tough meeting at Redcar on Friday before entertaining Newcastle next Wednesday. Bring it on! Any guest who comes in and scores four points from that tough number two berth has done his job.If Basso can do the same this side will take alot of beating Scunthorpe put in a spirited performance with a weakened team .Palin showing again what a fine prospect he is fingers crossed longterm for him when i have seen him he looks to have a terrific style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a great history with some terrific Danes over the years Skidder hopefully this kid could be one for the future.Makes sense in a way don’t know the full story about Zane but his age maybe told the club he was not going to be there for the long haul.I hope Zane progresses at Plymouth he certainly is dedicated and is making a good jist of thing’s after a real setback.

Keleher got a bit naughty at Redcar on Sunday though. After a race, going along back straight, as he passed Jake Allen, he yanked the cut off from Allens bike. Redcar riders quickly surrounded him! No idea what he must have been thinking, but seems both stupid and dangerous. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Basso does end up at reserve do you think that could make you less potent in that position certainly away from home Bob.?Or do you think Cook could step up and score six plus from the number two berth.With Cook/ Hume they look like they can score at least 10 plus between them and that is the worse scenario.

The way our team is made up, if one rider has an iffy night, another seems to up his game to cover. Solid right through. Got to give the lad a chance .Not going to be easy for Benjamin from the No.2 position. However, we have got this far with a low scoring No.2, so fingers crossed we can cover him while he settles in. All power to his throttle hand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
