StarBoy Posted November 4 Report Share Posted November 4 If everything stays the same as ‘25, Leicester can build a team that fits to exactly 40: 1. Douglas - 8.12 2. Morris - 5.89 3. Becker - 6.88 4. Lawson - 7.00 (6.83) 5. Masters - 7.28 6. Howarth - 5.13 (5.00) 7. ? - RS Total - 40.3 (40.0) Maybe Dickson wants a change of tact for ‘26 and wants a strong reserve all season. Realistically - Kemp (and his bike issues) and J Thompson were the reason why Leicester didn’t go all the way this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing that makes sense to me is Stewart Dickson not being able to build a title challenging 1-6 using Max @ No.1 within a 36.00 Limit. Maybe he was one of the Leicester riders on their phones during the final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemp certainly had a few bike issues,but he was not the reason Leicester didn’t go all the way. Masters didn’t have a great season considering,inconsistent in races that mattered.IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a very good team solid all the way through and Howarth at reserve for the whole season is a massive plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just the old heat 13 and 15 issue as no big hitter but if its a watered down league and the rest only have one big hitter they might get away with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted November 4 Report Share Posted November 4 13 hours ago, szkocjasid said: Best "realistic" team I can come up with if it's a 36 limit with Fricke Max Fricke - 9.89 Jan Kvech - 6.91 Chris Harris - 6.53 Adam Bedna - 5.00 Jonas Jeppesen - 4.34 Francis Gusts - 3.00 Luke Harrison - RS Total - 35.67 13 hours ago, Youhave2minutes said: Nowt wrong with that side at all It's tough to build a strong looking team when the limit is weaker. It's also tough when you don't know the limit lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make it weaker it has to be 36 for 6 riders,which I’m pretty sure they will have to do without no tv money,can’t see it being for top 5 as otherwise it’s getting stronger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still the only logical reason as to why Fricke wouldn't be at Leicester imo. Stewart Dickson wants to challenge for silverware and despite how good Fricke is, It's simply impossible to build a competitive team around his GSA using a 36.00 Limit for 6 Riders. Even an engine room of Howarth, N. Morris and D. Thompson is pushing 17.00 Points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's 36.00 for 6 Riders then Fricke, Kvech, Harris & Klindt only leaves 6.21 for 2 Riders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if true but assuming it is if Lynn could get Cooper and Jody at reserve and a decent final top five rider they should win most home meetings.

I was thinking the same, but it was the likes of Belle Vue and Ipswich with two big hitters that often cleaned up in those two heats. But like you say, if the apparent one 8 point rider rule is introduced, heats 13 & 15 might not be so predicatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WookieboyDon Posted November 25 Report Share Posted November 25 (edited) I know there were rumours of Adam Bednar potentially ending up with the Stars but that won't happen now. As well as his Polish team, he has just announced on social media he will be riding for Grindsted in Denmark and Rospiggarna in Sweden.

I can’t speak or read polish but it looks like they have announced the full senior team and Harris isn’t in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
