Aces51 2,778 Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Leicester should score well at reserve with Dan unavailable but I think our top 4 should be good enough to get us the win. It might take us a few races to adapt to a dry home track, it seems a while since it hasn't been affected by heavy rain.🏄😂 Edited August 25, 2017 by Aces51 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,087 Posted August 25, 2017 Leicester have a chance of a point, King goes well at Belle Vue usually and they should win the reserves battle but they probably need to get the tactics right which is unlikely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted August 25, 2017 It won't just be the reserve races they win, Our reserves will pick up far fewer points than theirs in their other rides. We could be in trouble if any of our top 4 have an off night, they are going to have to score about 42 points between them. I think they will but it's not going to be easy.

We could be in trouble if any of our top 4 have an off night, they are going to have to score about 42 points between them. I think they will but it's not going to be easy. I agree this could be a very tougth meeting.On paper our reserves should get beat in every race so potentially could only score 1 point between them.One of them has to take a R/R for Fricke so a reserve will be out in 8 races so not much chance of a heat advantage in any of those heats.As you say all our top 4 will have to be on top form for us to win this one.I think we may need 2 big 5 1s in heats 13 and 15 to win this one. King is the key to this one he can blow hot and cold around the NSS if he has a good one we could be in big trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
False dawn 2,298 Posted August 25, 2017 Why is that when I read the Leicester team sheet I think, "That's not a half bad side" and when the results come through they get beaten, usually quite easily? They are going to pull off a massive shock one of these days if they ride to their true potential. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattfordfan 286 Posted August 25, 2017 Think Leicester will win this. BV will take a beating at reserve and if one of Tungate or Worrall has an off night then the team will fall apart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah but when Jim pulls out one of fantastic tactical changes Belle Vue will win! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BV are strong at home and it would take a supreme effort. If Josh Bates has a stormer, Danny gets the bit between his teeth, I still can't see it. But stranger things have happened. I suppose Leicester is a good each way bet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Hunter 370 Posted August 25, 2017 Newman did not ride for Ipswich last night - out injured. Anyone know if he will be fit for tonight & tomorrow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellevueace 913 Posted August 25, 2017 Leicester are far stronger at reserve and apart from the Wolves meeting Tungate really hasnt been banging in the scores as some expected he would before his injury, coming back after a lay off we could be vulnrable here.

B.V 72 1,054 Posted August 25, 2017 Just a point of interest when Leicester where here earlier in the season the score after heat 12 was B/v 33 L 39. We had R/R for Bjerre but Fricke scored a 15 point max and Bewley was there and this time Newman replaces Ayres at reserve so this is going to be a close meeting.
