The Poole Pirates are on a mission to dominate the 2026 Speedway season, and their co-promoter, Dan Ford, is sending a clear message to their rivals: they're here to win. With a mix of youthful talent and seasoned veterans, the team is ready to make waves and secure more trophies.
Ford's enthusiasm is palpable as he anticipates the upcoming season. He's confident in the team's ability to build on their success from the previous year, where they claimed the Cab Direct Championship and MAXiCab KO Cup double. However, the Pirates' quest for a clean sweep was cut short when Redcar emerged victorious in the BSN Series Final.
In his statement, Ford highlights the team's strategic approach to the season. He emphasizes the importance of a balanced lineup, featuring both young riders eager to make their mark and experienced campaigners who can consistently deliver high averages. This blend of youth and experience is a key strength, according to Ford, as it allows the team to maintain a competitive edge while also fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
The Pirates' ambition extends beyond individual races; they aim to bring pride to the town of Poole. Ford's personal connection to the club, dating back to his father's involvement, adds a layer of passion and determination to their pursuit of success. This family legacy fuels the team's desire to excel and leave a lasting impact on the sport.
As the season approaches, the Pirates are poised to make a statement. Ford's confidence in the team's capabilities and their commitment to excellence set the stage for an exciting and competitive campaign. With a mix of youthful energy and seasoned strategy, the Poole Pirates are ready to dominate the track and secure their place among the sport's elite.
