Skornicki a miss for league leaders

Wednesday 1st July 2009, 7:00AM BST.

SpeedwayWolves will be without Adam Skornicki as they go in search of a seventh successive Elite League speedway victory.

The table-toppers are at Poole hoping for a repeat of their 54-39 success at Wimborne Road in April.

A win would enable Wolves to bounce Swindon off the top of the table, as the season-long see-saw battle between the two clubs continues.

But they run rider-replacement for Polish champion Skornicki, who launches his title defence at the semi-final stage in Opole.

The top eight from that round and the other semi-final in Rawicz go forward to the Torun final on July 25.

The popular ‘Sqora’ will be missed, but in-form duo Tai Woffinden and Nicolai Klindt can each take one of his rides.

The Parrys International Wolves’ reserves are also eligible and one of them, Ty Proctor, was paid for 10 points in the earlier fixture.

Had Skornicki’s current average been three-hundredths of a point higher, skipper Peter Karlsson would also have been able to take an outing.

Poole are at full strength, with Chris Holder returning from injury and track former Wolves double-upper Ben Wilson at reserve.

Poole: 1 Hans Andersen, 2 Daniel Davidsson, 3 Joe Screen, 4 Bjarne Pedersen, 5 Chris Holder, 6 Ben Wilson, 7 James Holder.

Wolves: 1 Fredrik Lindgren, 2 Nicolai Klindt, 3 Tai Woffinden, 4 rider-replacement for Adam Skornicki, 5 Peter Karlsson, 6 Hynek Stichauer, 7 Ty Proctor.
