Bit of a disaster but these things happen, in terms of what's needed for the league it keeps it a five horse race for the play offs - for now! Lets hope the right people are helping Tom right now - form is temporary and all that! Agree with the comments from Mike above - he's having to ride against out and out no1s each meeting and that's not helping right not but he will get there!

Just wondering how much longer Dickson will stick with Dan T at No.2. I know he has always liked a strong 1 & 2 pairing but this season the riders in these positions are the best two by some margin. The Lions can get away with this at home, but away the other partnerships are fragile. Everyone seems to think that the play off positions are nailed on with Lynn & Northampton missing out, but as things stand, the Lions look far from comfortable.

Now the gypos are in again!

Jonas was an impressive winner of heat 2 from the back with a very clever ride, puk looked out of sorts all night while Batch was on fire! Jonas could easily have replaced puk in one ride and probably Lidsey and/or Harrison, they were only 2 points down at heat 9, then blew it conceding 2 5-1's courtesy of puk and Lidsey

Tom B is probably the bottom No1 in the league... A league of just six number ones... Meaning he rides against his opposite number three times per night, if he takes Ht15... Out of those six Number Ones, three are World Class GP riders, and one is a Polish top tier HL... And then you have No5's like Bewley, Doyle, Kvech, and Pickering with C Holder at a three.. Both Brennan, and also Lidsey, made great progression riding at No3 with two World Class HL's at one and five in their teams.. With just five teams to race, and three of them having top level GP riders at No1, being a non top level GP rider, and riding against them several times a night, can be both an average and a confidence killer.. And Ryan Douglas as the other No1 in the league is a very solid rider... With so few teams you won't be getting too many "easy" rides to increase your confidence should you need to... And not riding in Poland regularly won't help... Can a Championship side fit him in?...  

How bad of a team do you have to be to only score 36 against a side with 3 'Rising Stars'?? 🤣🤣
