There is a well above average rider in there.,. If he keeps maturing like he seems to have done the past two seasons... Always thought he enjoyed just being a Speedway rider a bit too much and settled for that. Another couple of years of hard graft and he could develop into a higher than most level rider.,

To be fair ... That is the usual fayre at most tracks in the UK... Hopefully the score can remain close enough to maintain interest even if the racing doesn't ... Add in a couple of decent crowds, with plenty of away fans in attendance, and hopefully we will get two events that actually resemble a professional team sport , and prick some wider interest.

Best of Luck to The Lions tonight... Of the three managers left in, I would suggest most neutrals would be rooting for Stewart Dickson... Always gives an honest balanced appraisal even in defeat... Whilst naturally disappointed he was exceptionally sportsmanlike last year when hammered by the Aces, and magnanimous in defeat... Unlike some who appear to be about to burst into tears and just seems to moan about referees, when they fail, (again)...😁 Come on Max!!!!!

He would have, but as he said all those years ago, he can't use a "compooter" can he?😉😁

Nowhere near fully fit... Basically where he gated, he sat, very unlike him... Looked in a lot of pain before his fifth ride... -
Riders seem to have a four to five year progression to pretty much where they end up... Not many do a "Jason Doyle" and leap from a reserve in the UK to being World Champ not too long later in his career. David Norris was another I remember being 3rd HL/Best Second String for a few years then one season becoming very much an international level rider, a level which he maintained... We do seem to hype up any young GB lad who seems to have even a modicum of talent, which must put extra pressure that isn't required on them... Riders who are actually often miles away from the level that the likes of Bewley, Lambert, Woffinden, Loram, Screen and Louis etc etc were at at a similar age ...

Hopefully two decent race tracks get delivered for both meetings... Two evenly matched teams should deliver a close semi final result overall... Max Fricke is key for Leicester and just seems to have gone off the boil a bit recently from his level a couple of months ago.. Hope he has two good meetings....
