Me and Rob going up regardless, weather permitting. Woryna at Leicester 27/6/2016 3,0,2,0,2,0 = 7 riding at no.6 6/8/2016 3,1,0,2*,2,0 = 8+1 again riding at no.6 Thats not too bad.

Good stuff and he is a better rider since then. However the track has changed shape. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trackrat 444 Posted April 4, 2018 8 hours ago, Steve Shovlar said: So we roll on to next week and another attempt to start our season. Pirates travel to Leicester for our first league meeting of the season. A very tough fixture for both clubs, who are expected to be two of the playoff teams. Leicester look a very good team and their fans and promotion will be expecting to win this one. They have already had a meeting at home where they saw off a fairly determined Somerset side, and the look of the lions side is impressive. 1. Martin Vaculik 8.00 2. Krystian Pieszczek 6.5 3. Danny King 6.66 4. Michael Palm-Toft 5. Hans Andersen 7.75 6. Kyle Newman 4.86 7. James Sarjeant 2.56 1. Brady Kurtz 8.08 2. Josh Grajczonek 7.34 3. Kacper Woryna 4.65 4. Linus Sundstrom 7.22 5. Peter Kildemand. 6. Mateusz Szczepaniak 4.54 7. James Shanes 2.88 Should be a really good meeting and these two could easily be in the playoff final. Both Newman and Andersen will be wanting to put one over their old club, and Vaculik, King and Pieszczek are quick guys. let’s hope the weather plays fair and we are treated to something a bit special.

I'll point out again that Jonsson had an official average when he came back to Lakeside but it was reduced by the BSPA because he was no longer as good a rider as when he got that average. Can you not see a precedent there that should be applied for reassessing riders who's form has improved or deteriorated during their absence? Governing bodies are supposed to be consistent in the application of their rules otherwise the system is unfair and lacks credibility. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
