SCORPIONS GO FOR R/R
SCUNTHORPE will operate rider replacement at No.1 for Michael Palm Toft when they stage the first leg of the BSN Series Final against Poole on Sunday.
The Scorpions suffered a recent Cab Direct KO Cup defeat to the Pirates as well as exiting the play-offs to Oxford, but they returned to winning ways at home against Edinburgh in the BSN semi-finals, and they will put their faith in their six remaining riders to cover Palm Toft’s absence.
Promoter Rob Godfrey said: “Michael riding through his injuries, as he had been doing, wasn’t working, so I think we’re in a better position this time to beat Poole and open up a first leg lead and then hopefully it will all go down to the second leg on Wednesday
“Poole finished top of the Championship and are probably the team to beat this year, so we’ve got to beat them, simple as.”
