I made a comment to my friend next to me,I though they were too loose they seemed to go up quicker on the inside and outside because of it,there was some pretty uneven starts all night.IMO.just my opinion though obviously the Team Managers were OK with it.

Trying to think a race where rider on gate 3 wasn't 3/4 bike lengths behind by first turn. 2 was bit better not my much though

Only way Poole will win comfortably is if they produce there usual MX track.. i predict a bumpy one, still will give Basso an excuse when he fences someone again  

Oh it'll be bumpy ok, Glasgow boys will know where the bumps are, they know where the best passing places are, just hope the ref takes the correct glasses and refuses to take a bribe ;)

Maybe Danes are just taught to be harder on track. Bjarne was always nice and fair on track unless he was racing against another dane then it was elbows out and pushing them as wide as possible! 

It’s a fine line hard or overstepping the boundaries, everyone sees things differently only Basso will know what one it was.

Cookie goaded him in first one made a wee movement he jumped. If was case why no complain to middlo get then to test tapes. Looking for excuses I'm afraid

Worrall was on gate 4 and Craig on gate 3, so I can't see how Worrall could have been goaded by Craig into jumping the start.

If you watch them when they reached the top of the gate,how much they flapped about loosely,don’t think they were 100%.somebody watching the Stream might have a better opinion though.

I don't think he's ruthless (going from what I've seen this season) and he could have been looking behind because he was worried about being too close to Tom? But no one should be giving an inch in a playoff final. So if Tom wants to ride hard back, that's up to him!

I’m sure he will.

I've seen Cook put Josh G at Poole on the greyhound track before so nothing I haven't seen previously! Klindt had be held back in the pits.  

Anyway Cook has behaved himself at Poole since then, so doesn't get boo'd anymore! ;)

Just watched it on stream he was quite upright head wasn't tilted all the way to the magnets. Listen, I could be wrong it happens often but cookie moved slightly then Steve went through them

Not disputing that Craig moved slightly but no rider on gate 4 is looking at the rider on gate 3 and certainly not Steve Worrall who at Ashfield relies on making a good start to win races

Just like to say fantasic chat and banter with the Poole fans that made the trip , see you all Thursday !!!!   Have a safe journey home x

DJ thinking of playing Eye of the Tiger or Tiger feet for when Glasgow riders are paraded, any preferences? What about Roar by Katy Perry, sure that has a Tiger reference in it!

Don’t think Basso caused Tom to fall.Tom was loosing it on the outside line and front wheel got into the heavy dirt coming out the bend,think the Ref got it right.

Exiting the bend Tom was going for the outside run he as far as I could see was still in complete control as I was standing just before the start line Basso glanced over his right shoulder and slammed the door shut , hard move but Tom being excluded was correct as Basso was in front wasn’t best pleased with Basso right enough was Tom racing incident but Tom was never out of control until he had nowhere to go.
