4.4 average is above average 🤔. Not doubting that part, but don't come out with bs like numbers when it's simply their preference was an expensive Dane over a young British rider. 

It's just like Basso and Lawson.in reverse!! 🤣😇

We were fortunate with Thomsen that the Ford's found a rider in the Danish second tier who was av 7 plus who he could get on a 4 as it was outside the POL/DK/SWE top league rules. It was a risk that paid off in the end.

I see no way anyway the Ford's wanting another expensive rider flying in/out on top of Thomsen. Maybe a young Aussie coming over and basing himself in UK is maybe different.

If we had 5 points left it opens up lots of possibilities for a Young and Good Dane/Swe/Aussie who has ridden in the POL U24 Lge. With 4.32 after Thomsen announced closes that door effectively if it is Kerr/Rowe/or even Howarth when combining 2 of the 3.

Hopefully the Ford's have someone decent lined up because the GSAs don'tt show much out there besides Starke and we could end up very weak in the 2 reserve berths.

Maybe another Dane on 4.00 like Tobias?

If Thomsen puts 4 points on his average this season I'll maybe agree with you

Mikkel would be a 5.00 minimum.

Ahh. My bad. I had heard Andersen was going to be a Pirate.

He still could be if they don’t sign Kerr or Rowe

What would Bastion Pedersen come in on?

That wouldn't make sense to me, I'd have Foord rather than a new 4 point rider.

Lawson

Thomsen

Cook

Rowe

Kerr

Starke

whipping boy until Cairns.

I can't see it being that team as they could've kept Foord rather than Starke with the points remaining.

Any team with Starke surely has to come to at least 39.5 otherwise there would be no reason to drop Foord?

Rode in some meetings in U24 league in Poland so would say that it may well be 5.

You know the score Steve

[HGould]

Everyone fixated on Cairns forgets I think how crucial the final destination of Anders Rowe is in terms of the best 7 man team.

He's shown real potential but just needs a full season without injury and could really kick on with a secure home base. I think he's as important to Poole as Brennan was last season.

As for Kerr, he just doesn't seem the sort of high maintenance; injury prone rider; that seems a natural fit there?

So did Celina Liebmann, but she was allowed to be signed on a 4.

Maybe Poole could try & use that "loophole"

She was technically a world champion as well wasn't she?

Yeah maybe but I think it unlikely . Believe it was only reduced after an appeal because of the unique situation of Celina being a woman.
