Same for Thomson. I think he will be improved as well. Getting that first meeting out of the way always gets a monkey of the back. I can imagine the track will be prepared a lot differently this week and am predicting a slicker surface. Whether that plays advantage or not to KL remains to be seen.
Would you guys be able to fit in KK, Tarasenko and Tungate? That surely provides some much needed firepower? I'm assuming KK already knew he was on his way out last Monday when Lynn were at the Showground given Alex Brady's comments on when Laguta was signed. That might explain his poorer showing on a track that should suit him.
Does it make anyone feel a bit nervous that Laguta might be at Peterborough and not Lynn? With Lynn not racing tonight and Peterborough are (aware it's not on Eurosport) but they usually provide updates from other meetings... Would seem strange that if Eurosport are going to make an announcement at the same time Laguta is meant too and Lynn isn't in action tonight?
Saw this morning that the latest green sheet declarations had been published. However, were swiftly removed and now not on there. Think that would imply that team changes are afoot.
I can't look past the Pickering injury. See him being sidelined for the remainder of the season. However, TJs performance tonight would likely indicate he's had his marching orders...
Conor Mountain seems a very viable shout... Another rider from championship? Jonas Knudsen although he guested for us last year against Sheffield and scored 3. If not another rider from the continent. A young Pole, Latvian or Czech...
I wouldn't be surprised if a package has been agreed with the new sponsors MacInnes. The team was already agreed before they became title sponsors so any changes could be as a result of direct investment from them. Who knows, just a thought.
