SJA Posted Tuesday at 08:19 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 08:19 AM (edited) Its changed and based on a number of visits last season and one this season & is now a decent racetrack. Its benefitted from reprofiling the corners, a change to the banking and having a different track surface.

Fozzie4388 Posted Friday at 05:02 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 05:02 PM Guess Jack Holder won't be riding for Sheffield in this due to him riding in the GP Qualifier in Germany earlier in the day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal opinion is that GP riders shouldn't be riding in qualifiers. You either finish top 7 or qualify via the challenge.Or get a wildcard if you were unlucky through injury. Also no wildcard selection two years on the trot It might mean you don't get the 15 best riders n the World in the GP, but when has that ever happened ?

Meeting in Germany starts at 1pm GMT so should be done by 3pm. I'm sure arrangements could be made to get to Leicester by 7.30pm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically a different circuit from the stupidly narrow, long straight track that was first built. You can see why Belle Vue fans are so much happier, given that Leicester originally had a lot of space and a blank canvas, but got it hopelessly wrong.

So the 8th best rider in the world doesn't get to race in a competition for the "best riders in the world" but 3 riders who weren't good enough to qualify will receive wildcards? It would be better for the bottom GP riders to meet the top qualifiers in the GP challenge, so people can qualify by right. Getting distracted from King's Lynn vs Sheffield, so Holder missing doesn't harm Sheffield as they'll be in the top 4 regardless of the result.

So much nonsense and unfairness… guesting for a team who aren’t battling out in the league I guess is ok buts when you both so close on points?
