sidewinder 191 Posted July 5, 2021 If Josh Bates, is to be the rider, who accompanies Ty Proctor out of the Lions side, that would free up 11.5 points. If Hans Anderson, were to come in, he should do so on a 9.0. That would only leave, 2.5 points for another rider. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They can build up to 39 & a 2* reserve, it doesn't really matter what the dropped riders averages are! Edited July 5, 2021 by szkocjasid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus the 1.54 points Leicester are currently under the 39 point limit (as they have a 1* Rising Star). Current averages: Douglas 8.59 Morris 8.41 Howarth 6.99 Bates 6.05 Proctor 5.42 Dan Thompson 2.00 Total 37.46 Bates 6.05 + Proctor 5.42 + 1.54 = 13.01 Hans Anderson would come in at 9.00, leaving 4.01 for the other rider 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 6, 2021 No one will be able to get close to that team and the league is over for this year. A shame as it looked like it was very close at the top but basically replacing Proctor with Hans plus the mooted one makes the league a foregone conclusion. Congratulations to Leicester on the title.

HGould 2,213 Posted July 6, 2021 Very premature comments really Loss of form or injury to any rider can quickly change a picture. Morris; Howarth and Douglas remaining fit will be vital and has not always been the case. The manipulation to get the Thompsons as 1 Star Riders has given scope to build to 39 points but if either of those got injured it would certainly mean a weak tail. Certainly strong at home with Twins excellent there but with a strong top 4 and lesser strength Away still vulnerable to a couple of the stronger Teams from 1-7. Poole and Glasgow not out of it yet and no one would really fancy trips to Scunthorpe; Edinburgh; Redcar or Eastbourne in a 2 leg tie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reminds me of the rabbits pulled out of the hat by Matt Ford.. Those many foreign four point superstars of the future that he seemed to find, that effectively rode as a fourth heat leader (or even better), within just a few weeks of coming over... Many a season was decided there and then when the next 'wunderkind' came over to put a good couple of points on his average minimum... How times change...

Fozzie4388 679 Posted July 6, 2021 No on fancies a trip to Scunthorpe in a 2 leg tie? Leicester already won at Scunthorpe this season by 14 points. Wouldn't be surprised if Leicester nearly hit 70 Vs the Scorpions this coming Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
