Bagpuss 10,784 Posted July 21, 2023 They really need to get the track the same or very similar every week, all this chopping and changing helps nobody and isn't really good enough to be honest. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, that Leicester team did have Nick Morris instead of Bachelor. I guess it all balances it out. I think overall the better team won, Lynn just weren't able to capitalise on getting in good positions early on in heats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speaking of fences, Mr Fricke gave Nk a pretty close look at it! I would have put that move on the dirty side of hard racing. No different to Laguta’s move on Allen down the back straight.

Therein lies a very big problem, every home match this season it has been different. Riders have no home advantage as they start with settings that worked previously that are then useless. They end up chasing them and after 8 heats normally miles behind. Not helping themselves as a club at all. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope that they're looking at a prospect from the continent with a view to trying to bed them in for the '24 season.

They haven't done so so much this year, but they have only had about 4 home meetings so far this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
