I think Leicester have made a real solid start to team building where will josh come in the main body ? i think its imperative to have a strong reserve pairing if you look at most teams good form it was when a strong rider dropped in the 6 or 7 slot

As expected, Josh Bates returns

Come on Leicester, secure the services again of Newman. Popular with the fans, a 100% rider, who's good on home & away tracks.

Until someone can officially be assured of the assessed averages of incoming riders, how on earth can we have any idea of Leicesters potential lineup.

 

Confirmed: Bates 5.52

 

Probable. E Riss 5.75, Nilsson 7.13, Newman 4.86
If as confirmed Vaculik starts on 9.00 & Pieszczek on 5.00
It leaves 5.24 for the final member of the team. Lewis Kerr, Jake Allen & Paul Starke are the only signings that mean Pieszczek would start the season at reserve, which surely must be the plan?

Pieszczek will be a 7.00.

Decent side. Will do much better than previous seasons and do well at home.

 

On another note has the other bend been done this winter?

The major work widening bends 3 & 4 were done the year before 1 & 2.

I think the plans is just to get them smoother this winter.

Think I saw on either facebook or twitter that someone had suggested that Kim Nilsson was not returning to British speedway this year..

 

Vaculik

Bates

Pieszscek

Riss

King

Newman

 

Would leave 3.77 for the final reserve, would allow a little more strength in reserve. Jan Graversen? Max Clegg? Jack Smith?

If the rules haven't changed Graversen should start on a 4.00 ave!

How about Robert Mear (3.65)?

Thought Georgie Wood looked very comfortable holding off Danny King in the Sheffield meeting. No idea of averages for a chap like that though.

 

Latest signing being announced tomorrow.

That could work. Shame Pieszczek is 7.00 really tough ask. But there is enough experience around him in that team. IMO Pieszczek should be 5.00 having never ridden in a SGP or SWC event. But then Leicester isn't a few miles West of Bournemouth and the rules were not constructed with the Lions in mind,.
