iainb 5,054 Posted April 16, 2023 LEICESTER: Max Fricke, Justin Sedgmen, Richard Lawson, Chris Harris, Nick Morris, Jake Allen, Dan Thompson. IPSWICH: Jason Doyle, Erik Riss R/R, Danny King, Keynan Rew, Emil Sayfutdinov, Danyon Hume, Joe Thompson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teromaafan 586 Posted April 16, 2023 Whilst the Witches could have the most race winners, heat advantages may be a problem for them. The Lions middle/lower order riders need to be on their game. If this Witches team is to be beaten, the hard work needs to be done before heat 13 as I think that Ipswich will almost always outscore teams home and away over the last three heats.

FishersGate 526 Posted April 16, 2023 Think Joe Thomson and Hume will be very busy unless Rew can master the track early on. This is very close to call Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeneralMelchett 495 Posted April 16, 2023 One thing is for sure the Witches need a good performance to put Thursday behind them! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4BM 116 Posted April 16, 2023 No T/S allowed so Doyle/Sayfutdinov can only score a max of 28 between them, the other Witches need to weigh in with some points especially with Rew and Sayfutdinov never riding there before, King needs to come to the party if Ipswich have any chance of an aggregate win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure all that in 14. Think we lose on the night by 16 Edited April 16, 2023 by Baldyman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what purpose it serves especially now the aggregate bonus point is back in the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1 valve 558 Posted April 17, 2023 How the respective 6's & 7's perform tonight is going to be a big deciding factor in the overall outcome. Quite possible for the Lions top 5 to fill a lot of the minor places when up against the Ippo top two but not all of the time. Can expect a Leicester win on the night but not by more than 4 points - Sure hope I'm wrong, but least there will be the consolation of seeing two of the worlds best race at our humble abode, even better if a Lion gets the better of them a few times.

Gavan 5,050 Posted April 17, 2023 Can’t see us holding on to our lead here think Leicester will win by more than 12 on the night Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bash 496 Posted April 17, 2023 Are we not allowed a guest for Riss, as RR severely weakens us with our bottom end. Can only see Leicester going through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can only have a guest to replace any of the top three riders by CMA. Riss is fourth in the averages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TTT 1,249 Posted April 17, 2023 If the Ipswich reserves don't perform well here then they won't perform well on the road at all, Hume and Joe Thompson have both done plenty of laps around Leicester. Leicester weren't firing on all cylinders against us last week imo, We would've won the meeting if it wasn't for a couple of bike failures and that's bad considering we didn't have a No.1. Expecting Leicester to be much improved for tonight's meeting though. Leicester 49 - 41 Ipswich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 856 Posted April 17, 2023 Yeah, I can only echo what others have suggested, Witches to win more heats than Lions but duck eggs on the scorecard will be their achilles heel. Leicester 51 Ipswich 39. Fricke getting his first few competitive laps on his new home track Thursday will help him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
