hope the 2 point rider jas a great season and

 looks forward to being dropped  !   cant see  any 2 pointers taking up that idea .

Look at this season's riders, if Poole had dropped Perry for Cairns, there wouldn't be many complaints, but if Foord got dropped for Cairns after putting 2 points on his average, would've been very unfair on Vinnie & could expect deserved backlash from fans.

Best solution would be signing 2 x 2.00 riders & telling them the strongest rider won't get dropped.

For sure if I was a 2.00 rider, Poole would be my last choice.

Will Cairns, he was in with Vinnie during the night helping him I didn't see anyone else in the pits prior to race starting.

It depends how long the deal is offered to Will!!! it's not a 6 month deal!

Do we know which riders were in the pits outside of the 2 teams and Jenkins?

Laguta was coaching Vinnie Foord, while Emil and Lindgren were in Tobias’s ear. Other than that nothing to see.

Rain. Fastest time 61 secs. Time for ht 16 rerun over 71 secs, think that gives you a clue.

No not there, just reporting from Speedway Updates. Killeen excluded.

Ron's words:

"with the drizzle possibly getting worse and making track conditions tricky Will Cairns & Luke Killeen were level round the first bend but Will got slightly ahead of Luke and then out of nowhere Jody Scott went steaming past both of them on the back straight and led into the old pits bend Will looked to move over to the dirt line just as Luke decided to do the same and unfortunately clipped Will’s back wheel and young Will crashed heavily into the fence whilst Luke seemed to be hanging off the back of his machine almost like a rag doll before hitting the air fence whilst his machine kept going for another 20-30 yards into the 3rd turn and demolishing several air panels, it looked horrendous and you could hear the shrieks and screams of the fans not believing what they had witnessed. Will Cairns was down on the track for a long time and then the ambulance appeared and eventually he was carried on a stretcher and placed into the back of the ambulance to then head off to the JR Hospital. The fence was repaired and Jody did win the the rerun in a time of 71 seconds, a good 10 seconds slower than the average so something had to be sorted with the worsening conditions."

I think that's a fair description.

But, but, but..... someone who got his facts from Speedway Updates says Killeen took him out. He's surely the one that's right, and not all the people that were there and witnessed the incident? 🤦‍♂️

I did the texting from the track and nowhere does it say Killeen took him out. Ron’s version is close to my own. Cairns moved out just as Killeen arrived on the outside. It was a racing incident. Cairns was in front so ref excluded Killeen could easily have gone the other way to me but I only saw it once when live.
