THOMSEN KEEN TO KICK ON
POOLE star Tobias Thomsen says supporters can expect an even better version of the Dane next season – after he brought a full-time mechanic onto his team.
Thomsen was this week confirmed as the Pirates’ third signing for 2025, and he plans to build on a strong end to the campaign as he helped the club to Treble glory in the Cab Direct Championship.
Said Thomsen: “I had a good guy at home this season, but he got sick towards the end of the season and then he couldn’t do it away.
“Once that happened, I was struggling a bit as I was doing all the bike washing myself and all that, but for next year, I’ve got a guy who’ll do everything and he’s paid for by a sponsor, and I really can’t say thank you enough for that.
“I know that is going to up my game as I can focus on racing the bikes and not worrying about doing the bikes and having to fly in early. I was having to cut down on some of my sleep just to do the bikes.
“Now I have this guy who is very professional and going to do my bikes. I think that’s the game changer for me, to have a guy like that coming in.”
