Imo it's not when you are chasing a Premiership play-offs place (dropping Kemp) not in a grand final (not using Starke?) Maybe they tried a guest & couldn't get one, but I agree Starke could've made a big difference. They couldn't have had Starke anyway as rode in the playoffs for Worky.

They were the class act of the league throughout the season, and worthy winners. Another masterclass in team building. A lot has been made of Peter Schroeck's poor decision in the first leg, but an arguably even bigger blunder was not finding a suitable guest for Atkins/Roynon. Relying on Jody Scott was an awful decision, I don't think he beat an opposing rider over the two legs (bar Thomsen when he had bike issues). I like the lad and he's going to improve, but he's just not Championship level yet. Surely a decent guest wouldn't have been too hard to find for a final? Oxford had Paul Starke in the league and someone like him taking six rides instead of Scott could have been the difference. Poor effort from Schroeck in my opinion. He has had an absolute stinker in this final. Anyway, congratulations to Poole again. On to the KO Cup now. Schroek is absolutely clueless that’s the reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuesday's drenching can't have helped. But the lack of overtaking after the first lap seems to have got lost in all the other 'noise' 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 Plenty or here wanting to vilify Vinnie, but Luke has had his fair share of causing crashes in the last couple of season being slightly reckless shall we say. Inexperience and over enthusiasm from both I would say.Seen plenty of others over the years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
