The difference being is that, Klindt & Jorgensen have been very unreliable & therefore could be beaten in heat 8 whereas the outcome is unlikely with Laguta in heat 8. At the end of the day, this is going to be a big struggle for King's Lynn regardless of where the R/R is. Heats 2,3,4 & 5 already look like 5-1s in Leicester's favour. Klindt has to maintain his form from the last 2 meetings to stand any chance in this meeting, it could be embarrassing TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the spirit Harris and Lawson concern me, that's a great pairing at Lynn. I think the comment from szkocjasid referred to me saying that it might be seen as good to get R/R rides out of the way early, I can't think of a reason why but nine times out of ten teams run it at 2 so there must be a logic.

The majority of the times teams run with r/r it's for a second string with the rides mainly being taken up by reserves, putting r/r at 2 in that situation makes sense as your reserve is out with the number one. Not so in this case. Yes my comment was asking why finishing up the r/r rides early would be an advantage? Edited June 19, 2023 by szkocjasid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One thing I will say is, if Lynn are using the former world champ to beat Sedgmen & the rising star because they don't trust any others to do that - they must be expecting to get thrashed & putting r/r at 2 is their plan to ensure they score 30+ points?

TTT 1,273 Posted June 19, 2023 Surprised Morris is at 5 tonight, I would've swapped Nicki and Lawson around considering Harris also goes well around KL. Leicester to win now that they've finally hit their stride and they're dark horses for the title imo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tinker 213 Posted June 19, 2023 As a neutral (although I have a soft spot for Kings Lynn having been there many times when holidaying in fabulous Norfolk), a Kings Lynn win would keep things very interesting for the 4th play off spot between Leicester and Ipswich.

It's a partnership they're looking to exploit, capable of 5-1s & King's Lynn's weaknesses may not be able to cover off that damage. +8 from that partnership would see a win & then use the others to cover 3-3s vs Laguta. Tactically, it looks like Leicester have set up perfectly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think most team managers stick to the same riding order no matter what, I see no reason why Morris can't be 5 at home but not away? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iainb 5,197 Posted June 19, 2023 OK, Can we all just like this post and then we can all move on with the meeting tonight... Yes if you've got Sky Q you've also got the Discovery+ app with Sports Yes Eurosport is a joke Yes the camera angles are crap Yes Tatum is Good/Crap (delete as appropriate) Yes they missed that pass Yes King's Lynn is not as good a race track as it used to be, because of the surface Yes why aren't they televising the Belle Vue match (every week!) Yes Buster is Satan/God, again delete as appropriate etc. etc. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
