So you're saying Poole fixed it so Vinnie fell off in the warm up, then fell off in heat 2 wrecking both bikes in the process :icon_smile_clown:

The wrecked bikes are insignificant, Poole took the opportunity to declare their weakest rider injured. What about the EF that won Poole the match? Forgot about that?

At the end of the day Poole would have still won with or without the injury/ e/f, just the score would have been a bit closer, so move on :icon_smile_clown:

Wow a clairvoyant as well as a dim wit.

I suspect the truth is that VJF was fit enough to continue. 

I suspect the problem was that having wrecked 2 bikes that when the other 6 Pirates were asked to lend him one the universal answer was Erm... "no" 

Not without a signed damage waiver at the very least. 

The kid is very fast but very wild. No one wants to see him (or anyone) hurt but he really does need a wise head in his ear to calm him down.. 

Poole couldn't risk the spectacle of 3 riders and only 1 Pirate because no one would risk their machinery. 

I would think most of the Poole riders would be reluctant to lend Foord a bike given his recent propensity to crash.

Foord's crashes were advantageous to Poole as their weakest rider didn't have to take 3 rides. He didn't fall off on purpose in the warm up but come on, pulling him out definitely strengthened the team. Tobias was also obviously under instruction to throw his race to keep Poole 6 points behind so they could use the tac sub in the next heat. Not sure Poole would have won without Crash Bang Foord or the tactical ef!

I'm sure many teams have instructed riders to finish in certain positions so a tac sub could be used in the next race, cheating well it may or may not be but certainly not exclusive to one particular team and has been going on for years.

In no way did Poole cheat what they did in making sure they brought in a tac sub is what I hoped my management would do 

I think people get annoyed at the foolishness of certain Poole fans who think they were up against or after losing Foord and then the engine failure ……Poole won because they lost Foord and had the engine failure both were a huge help in them winning .. if Foord hadn’t have been injured then Poole may still have won 

The only way they have cheated is if Foord was fit but had no bikes something that can’t be proved

If foord has no bikes then surely and in my experience of attending meetings a team mate would say " use my bike" . No point being a team if you can't or don't help each other. Even if the bike wasn't set up comfortably at least he'd of completed the rides required.

The main issue with young Vinnie is his gating, if someone could tell him you are allowed to start before the other riders get to the first bend that would be a huge plus for him and he wouldn't have to ride like a madman to catch up.

Ever thought of becoming a manager, genius. If only it was that easy.

Huge boost for Poole now Foord is out and Hagon can take his rides 

Poor signing Foord can’t control a bike properly 

6+1 tonight, just for you Gavan
