Feel he is down on power. On a few occasions he has hit the front and then seemed to go backwards.

Good  point, he does seem to generate plenty speed into the first corner from any position on the start grid and from what I've seen he doesn't appear to roll or jump the start but always remains static.

Maybe it's his set up, all  to often riders I’ve seen get lightening starts only to be passed in a flash down the back straight.

I think he just needs coaching tbh. Going into corners harder and not giving those behind him the chance to move him across. He gets himself into great positions out the gate but struggles to maintain it.

He actually goes into the bends too hard.

He'd be much better off going in more controlled, piddling round the white line and using the drive off the exit of the bend, ala Max Clegg.

If he's incapable of doing that then, I'm afraid, he'll continue to get swallowed up over the course of the 4 laps.

By ‘hard’ i meant against other riders. I feel he gives them too much space.

Coles when guesting at Berwick the other week seemed to make fantastic starts then be the slowest rider on show. Thankfully his starts were enough to score him some points.

Where did Paco 2.0 come from and how long is he here for?? He's treating every race he's in like they're heat 14!  Almost a maximum against the Tigers and now 10 from 4 rides against the Cheetahs. He's been fantastic this month, definitely the most improved rider in the Championship.

I know he switched engines after the Plymouth home match after he had a bit of a disaster to an older one he had and It just seems to be working well.

With even just a couple of more points out of Kye per meeting we could maybe do something if Paco keeps his form going
