A lot has been written - and will continue to be written - about how Poole can manipulate the rules to their advantage and other teams are disadvantaged (ie being allowed to cancel a match when their team was weak, yet Swindon were forced to go to Coventry with only two of their recognised team!) but the truth was that the best team won over two legs. Robins carried too many passengers on the night and I would be surprised to see Anderson and Kennett back in the Robins colours next season. Something not right in the Swindon pits it would seem, money troubles again?
Maybe. Andersen has been on a steady decline for a few years, and he had an almighty prang the night before at the euro Champs. When he got back up after the crash he wasn't as quick nor brave as he had been before. Still a good rider, but not a number 1.
Kennett has been awful every time I have seen him in t he last couple of years. Think he's been a passenger all season, when most expected him to be a heat leader.
Batchelor seemed very off form last night which surprised me.
