Belle Vue Aces vs Leicester Lions 15/06/2026


Recommended Posts

Some good racing tonight despite the scoreline. Doyle was superb in his first ride with Will Cairns and was a class act all night. Kildemand, Blodorn and Zischke will all feel more confident after scoring well.

ย 

I'm sure Belle Vue would have lost money though - a very poor attendance and lots of points money to pay out.

Well it's a 140 mile round trip & I'd seen Leicester before at NSS this season, plus did that trip twice last weekend and I haven't seen Kings Lynn at NSS this year who visit next week.

It's Ipswich next week. Kings Lynn is the week after.

Poor display from Leicester - who looked like a championship side - just glad I didnโ€™t watch it live

I did.ย ๐Ÿ˜•
Good job I'm a big Dan Thompson fan. Him apart, it was a hard watch. And Leicester is only my adopted team while we get Brandon reopened.ย 

Ryan Douglas showed flashes. If there was any criticism he was trying too hard.
Nick Morris was nowhere. Given some of his recent results it was very disappointing
Drew Kemp looked brilliant in one ride and then packed up at the back (again) in another.
Sam Masters has been below par all year and this continued that trend.
Kyle Howarth started like he was going to be the hoped for secret weapon.ย 
Joe Thompson - steady

In contrast every member of the BV team performed at the top of their game. On a good day, Leicester would not have won. But this defeat was shameful.ย

That ride enough to earn him a nomination for Rider of the Night, he even managed to get a couple of votes, which is more than Nicolai Klindt did the other night after scoring 13 points for the Bearsย ๐Ÿ˜‚

Just about to watch it back, i will fast forward the racing and just watch the action in between which there was probably more off because action on track was very minimal at best, what a pathetic showing from Leicester or were we just to good.

ย 

the lowest crowd of the season last year was the match after the GP so not worried at all, be back to normal next week.

ย 

ย 

nice to see Doyle settling in well, he was superb, even better hearing he wants to be back next season, not sure how we fit bewley kurtz or doyle in thoughย

Masterโ€™s form is a real concern. His average for this season is 4.67. Iโ€™m sure Dickson wonโ€™t tolerate this slide to continue much longer. Thing is, who do you get in? Anyone worth bringing in (whoever is available and willing to accept what they can afford to pay) would no doubt necessitate a double change. Nick Morris might be looking over his shoulder too.

Fully expected this resultย 

Belle Vue have built their team to win well at home like any team wouldย 

They have riders like Blodorn Tate and Cook and to a lesser extent Kildemand who donโ€™t go well awayย 

If those 4 can up their game away from home Belle Vue should win the leagueย 

However over 2 legs I would fancy Sheffield more as they have riders in the Holder brothers and Pickering who go well at Belle Vue and can keep the away leg to 10 or soย

Having your backside scalped (as Stewart Dickson has described it) must be very painful.

Never experienced it myself - is it some S&M thing involving leather and straps?

I do like an in depth analysis of a heavy defeat... looks like the Leicester media "team" just lifted his comments from what he said on BSN.
