poolebolton 464 Posted July 9, 2017 I would rather see a young rider than Garrity. Yes he is British! But he is dangerous as hell. No place for dangerous riders no matter if there British. This is good news for the premiership! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liontamer 202 Posted July 9, 2017 The problem with Garrity is he is injured and looks like not being available until end of August so by then Leicester will likely have completed most of their meetings and RR just won't work so a replacement needs to be brought in. In all honesty this is the best option other choices would be Ed K or maybe someone like Peter Ljung or Ramus Jensen Peter Ljung? No thanks. Been there, done that, we've had more than enough riders taking the p155 in the past thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
False dawn 2,298 Posted July 9, 2017 Can I just made it clear that me & Lion tamer are two different people. Whoa.... Look what the cat dragged in! Lt in all his glory (not L t) It'll be Norbold's hole next! Welcome back "old" friend. We'll have Krissie and Phil posting before you know it Welcome back 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) Can I just made it clear that me & Lion tamer are two different people. I was just wondering if you had forgotten your password or something and joined again with a slightly different name so thanks for clearing that up........I think.

Hamish McRaker 601 Posted July 9, 2017 Przedpelski is averaging about 4.8 for Torun this season from 5 matches. Greg Walasek (remember him?) is averaging about 5.3 from 6. Looks like Torun are preferring to use Walasek now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevehone 3,429 Posted July 9, 2017 Well done Leicester. Patel will hopefully step Leicester in the right dir cation. might get a few more through the gate then in Leicester 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poolebolton 464 Posted July 9, 2017 This deal was in the pipeline about 2 weeks ago! But there was a lot of paper work and also sorting out who has the right to use him etc. Better choice than Garrity by miles. Future GP rider I imagine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldRacer 84 Posted July 10, 2017 What an exciting signing. Better than I thought Leicester could come up with, so well done to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Al 708 Posted July 10, 2017 Good that Lions management have been active in looking at ways to boost the interest levels in what's left of the season. Think he will do well to average 6.5 so I hope people don't get expecting him to go round hitting double figures all the time because it's not going to happen. Presume the deal ensures Lions have priority over him but what would happen if Walasek or MJJ or Meidzinski gets injured and Torun need a replacement? But it also underlines the relative status of the British and Polish leagues when a rider who is out of form can be farmed out to help him recover it for the principal benefit of the Polish league. It's a shame Garrity and Leicester just don't seem to be a good mixture, I've a feeling that he's reached his limit and is another Adam Roynon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,634 Posted July 10, 2017 Availability shouldn't be a problem now he's been dropped by Torun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

racers and royals 8,723 Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) We all know that Flagrag works for SKY so his info is sound, As regards Leicester in my opinion some of what he writes is bullcrap. Lets get one thing straight Pawel Przedpelski is not currently dropped by Torun and is 1st choice over Walasek for meetings- that`s not to say he wasn`t dropped earlier in the season, because he was- but he had a few niggling injuries to contend with. Torun only have 4 league matches left-all on Sunday`s. this signing suits Torun, the rider and Leicester. Torun will remain priority no 1 for him.

lionking 127 Posted July 10, 2017 Just to clear things up PP has NOT been released from Torun BUT he has been released from the terms of his contract where it states he has to be availble to practise in Poland on a Saturday. So he will ride at Leicester on Saturdays & fly out Sunday like alot of riders currently do when riding at Leicester. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skodaman 192 Posted July 10, 2017 Saturday track - polish meetings at weekends mmm I think the guest rider or rr will make more appearances than your new signing - change your race night and you will see him more often than not . We had that problem with garrity anyway. So can only improve the team He has been released by his Polish team in order to ride in the Premiership. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,054 Posted July 10, 2017 Brilliant, an out of form young Brit dropped for an our of form Pole who the Poles don't want. And we wonder why we get spat out the back in the SWC. I could understand if it was someone better, but is it? A season or two ago Przedpelski seemed to be the next top Polish rider, especially when a junior reserve at Torun, since moving out of the junior position things have not moved on. Now he finds himself at Leicester with a chance to do well and regain confidence, should he do that of course and gets a regular team place back in Poland you can bet he won`t be slow in giving up on Leicester.
