He finished with 10pts but missed out on the semi final on count back. Never was a leading light 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leon has certainly stalled this season,could be he is trying to cram too much in riding wise and not got the set up in place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I know Leon has a full time mechanic in place for this season, but I agree Leon has not progressed as I thought he would. Maybe being part of a struggling team is part of it with a pressure to deliver big scores every week, maybe a change of scenery is needed for 2024.

Could be things outside of speedway affecting him? His dad did step back from managing the Bullets then the Bandits for personal reasons. Hopefully he kicks on in the second half of the season.

Jaizer 2,879 Posted July 17, 2023 Leon's never been very good at ashfield, was alluded to by Greg Blair I noticed when watched meeting back last night. But losing to Gilkes and hagon who, to my recollection, had never seen the place was pretty poor. Hopefully it's just a stagnation year and he kicks on again, bit like tom Brennan had last year 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
