PowerfulPierre 88 Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) This, i think is going to be a very interesting clash between 2 fairly even teams. Musielak is doing great things for the Tigers, but it's great to see how much Max has improved in the last few weeks riding not just for us but also in Sweden and Poland. He seems to have got his mojo back! Justin, for me, has been a revelation and Richard has been pulling in some impressive scores too. I suspect that this is a match with a few twists and turns as the evening progresses which should make good television, but you can't beat the real thing by getting your back side track side to experience the drama unfold and cheering the Lions on at Beaumaont Park. Lions for a slender win I think. Edited May 19, 2023 by PowerfulPierre 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4BM 116 Posted May 19, 2023 Don’t think Musielak , Holder or Bellego will have done many laps around Leicester so they’ll need to be on the front foot so to not allow a solid Leicester team to get early momentum. Think the key rider for Sheffield will be Kyle Howarth, knows the quickest way around the track after a couple of years there so a lot will depend on how fit he is after recent knocks and as for Leicester Fricke Morris and Lawson will need to be in the top of their game if the Sheffieod heat leaders get dialled in. If Allen and Thompson get the drop over Allen and Gilkes in the scoring that could turn the result in their favour Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishersGate 522 Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) Sheffield to nip this in a last heat decider. We've seen many top riders this year go to Leicester and show you don't need many laps around Leicester to crack it. Bewley and Emil have proved that. So I think Tomas and holder will be fine. Howarth will be key for them Edited May 20, 2023 by DiveBomb Spelling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Bump 254 Posted May 20, 2023 Musielak hasn’t ridden Leicester for a fair few years. But he always rides it well. Enjoy watching him. Ellis a little more hit & miss. Won’t be much in it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
