Brennan now needs to be dropping the Championship from his busy calendar. I personally thought he was spreading himself far too thin this year and he MAY have have progressed even further with a few more breathers here and there. If Ben Cook doesn’t feel Championship racing benefits his career anymore, then Tom Brennan certainly shouldn’t. He’s on an upward trajectory and has bigger fish to fry. 

completely agree

feels like the time is right for them both to put their time into other things and riding better riders more often

Poole will have some re-building to do. Tom will be following Ben out of Poole, so the management will have to pull some rabbits out of the hat to replace the quality of those 2. I'm sure more will become clear after next Monday. 

Clearly it's still being discussed on here, but sadly when you don't move up riders like Ben and Tom move on, that is the Fords choice. I wish them the best of luck for 2025 onwards and looking forward to seeing their progress for years to come.

1. Richard Lawson
2. Tobias Thomsen
3. Zach Cook
4. TBC
5. Lewis Kerr
6. Vinnie Foord
7. TBC

Kerr won’t be there

Yes agree with that, he is improving and on a very tempting average.

Yup a good value (potential /GSA) rider. 

Re Tom I heard it suggested that he would be interested in riding for Poole in 25 average cap allowing. Otherwise he'll give the Championship a miss.

4 would possibly be Rowe? 

40 => Rowe,

38 => 4 pt foreigner.

I do see a potential issue which is that having a Dane in the team worked in 2024 because Tobias wasn't perceived as good enough to land a regular DSL spot back in Denmark, but his progress may mean that next season he is wanted back in Denmark on Wednesday's for DSL matches.

If no Tobias in 2025, then that would make sense of the Ablitt rumours as an alternative.

That's a very 'stark' suggestion!!😉

Kerr feels like an odd shout for a Poole side. He's made of glass 

Dan Thompson or even Sedgy would be a better option for that average.

Rowe and a 2 point place holder until Cairns is 16 and that would be some side. 

Must admit I was one of the many that wrote Thomsen off before he turned a wheel but he had a great season, fair play. Deserves to be back next year.

If one of Tom's sponsors says he's not doing Championship in 2025, then I guess he won't be!!

I would definitely have Tobias back. His slump coincided with his injuries and once back to fitness his scoring improved. He was the rider of the playoffs and KO Cup imo.

1. Richard Lawson

2. Tobias Thomsen

3. Zach Cook

4. Anders Rowe

5. Lewis Kerr

6. Vinnie Ford

7. William Cairns.

Leave it to someone else to tell me it’s over 39.
