Poole and Wolves finished 1st and 2nd in last seasons regular table and guess what, Poole are predicted 1st and Wolves predicted 2nd for this years title, that shows how strong both teams are.
Wolves brought back Peter Karlsson after a year away at Belle Vue last year and so far this season he has been in unbelievable form! I've seen him ride so many times but after seeing him ride at Lakeside friday I was shocked/impressed with how brilliant he was! 18 point maximu
m for a man of his experience is incredible. His gating was superb as well! Without a doubt Freddie Lindgren is an amazing number 1 rider, proved by him finishing top of the elite league averages last year. Ty Proctor hasn't had a great start to the season and I think is having trouble with the new silencers (like many people), he needs to improve for Wolves to do well. Wolves reserves are a bit unpredictable, Ricky Wells has been doing better than first though which is great news for Wolves, It's Tyson Burmeisters first season in the UK so understandably might take a bit for him to find his feet but should come good.
Poole's top 2 of Chris Holder and Davey Watt are also on great form and can expect good things from them both. With Darcy Ward still out injured from his motorcross accident, Poole might find it a bit hard to cover for him. and with this originally being an elite shield fixture, it comes as a surprise that Poole agreed for it to change to an elite league one, i'm sure they would have prefered Ward to be riding for their elite league clash with Wolves Another chance to see up and coming Swedish star Dennis Andersson, it will be interesting to see if he continues his impressive from, such a talent! Jason Doyle was the star of the show for Poole in last weeks Sky meeting, can he repeat that and win the match for Poole again? I guess we'll have to wait and see but Poole will be hoping he rides like he did last week. He's doing really well for both Poole and Rye House considering when he left Australia he didn't even have a UK team!
