Darcy, Tate and Worky had a verbal agreement that Tate would join Worky as and when the opportunity arose. Hence Poole not including him in any of their possible line-ups! Simples. Trying to make it sound good, maybe just maybe worky was a better attraction than Poole 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why Boughton signed for the cubs last year so he could do extta practice if he wanted too. Yes I agree could be track time could be a factor. No idea why Poole track can't be used more when we are not racing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if he is a good starter then he could be 'protected' by the Rocketman (bonus king)? That is how Lawson keeps his average down. No so silly Rocketman.

Assuming all the press releases are correct. Tom lost his place in Glasgow's plans because they wouldn't wait any longer for him to make his mind up. He was asked. Whether he wanted to stay at Glasgow or was just holding back that he was planning to sign for Poole, I don't know. I guess you wouldn't want to say you're definitely leaving if you haven't signed a contract elsewhere yet.

However if he is a good starter then he could be 'protected' by the Rocketman (bonus king)? Just trying to estimate what we could see as a return (points wise) from Thomsen. looking at last season results if he is at 2 his 4 rides would complete in heat 10. He would get 3 rides with Lawson (knowing him he will do his best to get behind Thomsen IF possible to keep his GSA down). Sensible thinking by Lawson as BP not in GSA calculations and important to keep a workable GSA for attraction for teams the following season. He would meet opposition 1,3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 once. The oppo 2 twice . In theory should beat most of the reserves. Should hold up well against most of the other 2's so far announced as well as some of the 4's, Achieving a 4 point av may not be so difficult but maybe Lawson himself could keep Thomsen's scores down a bit if riding off for the win or best placing. All this is theory of course. Will be interesting to see how it pans out and who knows. He could become a reserve (Wolf) in sheeps clothing if he did. Swapping with Hagon.

Darcy made it very clear - publicly- that his protégé would be Workington-bound when he came over., due to Tate's style and Aussie experience suiting the Worky track better. Also nothing to do with Brennan becoming unexpectedly available after his rumoured absence from Championship ship racing in 2024. Neither were in Poole's original 1-7!
