Grachan 7,314 Posted November 28, 2017 Sorry to laugh but Vaculik could be given a 9.00 starting average. Leicester have jumped the gun there. He always should have been a 9 based on other riders about. He's worth it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,683 Posted November 28, 2017 I think he'll be staying at Leicester even on a nine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattfordfan 286 Posted November 28, 2017 He always should have been a 9 based on other riders about. He's worth it. Not on a 9 he isn't as Leicester will have to sacrifice someone lower down the order now. Never ridden British tracks before. Ridiculous average only Doyle and Lindgren managed to get to the 9 mark last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ridiculous average only Doyle and Lindgren managed to get to the 9 mark last season. If Chris Holder lines up for someone he will do so on an average of less than 8. I do not think there is much between him and MV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree not much between them but Holder is a 7.16 whilst Vaculik is a 9.00 a lot of difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beckettlion 195 Posted November 28, 2017 Sorry to laugh but Vaculik could be given a 9.00 starting average. Leicester have jumped the gun there. Laugh all you like, I for one am really excited to watch a grand prix rider line up for the Lions again. Think our whole fan base will be delighted to get behind Martin and I'm sure he'll be excellent! He may not live up to his 9.00 average, but Doyle didn't maintain his 13+ average from the start of last season and Swindon still won the title. Think our promotion would still have gone for Vaculik had they known he would be on an assessed 9.00 anyway 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,819 Posted November 28, 2017 Sorry to laugh but Vaculik could be given a 9.00 starting average. Leicester have jumped the gun there. Nothing to laugh at. It's a fair assessment. Thank god it isn't stupid like a 7 for The GP rider Lindback. That really was laughable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattfordfan 286 Posted November 28, 2017 Nothing to laugh at. It's a fair assessment. Thank god it isn't stupid like a 7 for The GP rider Lindback. That really was laughable. They should of both been 8's imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve0 5,517 Posted November 28, 2017 If Chris Holder lines up for someone he will do so on an average of less than 8. I do not think there is much between him and MV. Yet Nick Morris is on 8.87 and clearly not as good as an SGP rider! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col 849 Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Nothing to laugh at. It's a fair assessment. Thank god it isn't stupid like a 7 for The GP rider Lindback. That really was laughable. Indeed, based on the effort shown he put in he should have been re-assessed on 3.00. Edited November 28, 2017 by Col Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Al 708 Posted November 29, 2017 After years of hearing all sorts of garbage from the previous owner/promoter since joining the top league, but actually ending up with teams composed mainly of leftovers and waiting and waiting for riders to be announced, I for one am delighted the new ownership has "jumped the gun" by announcing the signing of Martin Vaculik at such an early stage. I'm not including Jason Doyle in the "leftovers" category when he was signed from Birmingham, but he wasn't a GP rider at that stage and left due to the intransigence of the owners. The signing makes a statement, to the Leicester supporters and the rest of the league. We're not going to be the whipping boys any more. And we don't need charity handouts from the 1 over 8 fiasco. And, I'd much rather have a Plumber as club owner than a Hairdresser. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
