Through the keyhole? 

Black and gold kevlars in the top left pic, number on the handlebars ends in 4...Vaculik?

Sam Masters is on there but the others are too small. The shoulder looks like Freddie's old kit but Ovethi sponsor a host of Danes:

Villads Pedersen, Kildermand, Rasmus Pedersen, Jhuul Pedersen, Jacob Jensen, Basso and Fredrik Jakobsen. 

Bar PK and KJP the others would be a great addition over here.

I'd be pleasantly suprised if we get any new overseas riders at Leicester. Stewart has always picked UK based riders as he trusts them. I can't think of a rider he's bought in at Leicester that's been new to British speedway. It would be a nice change..

I think he will want to retain Masters as his average is appealing. Same with Dan Thompson and I imagine Douglas will stay after a great season. Would love for Fricke to be back but imagine Lynn, Northampton will be in the running.

Pretty sure he isn't singing for Lynn or N'hampton.

Dougy looks like he's been unofficially confirmed by a news outlet on socials this morn and feels like he was a cert with Masters and Thompson. 

Perhaps the u21 will be Jensen/a Pedersen. Jensen looked very good in some of the u21 meets last season and came as a name out of nowhere (to me).

Pretty sure Luke Harrison is the “other” U21 rider along with the rising star.

Doesn’t mean they haven’t signed another U21 rider of course. 
 

Intrigued to see what the team is as the team I thought it was doesn’t have a Danish rider.

That makes it seem that a new big hitter maybe signing then for Northampton and Lynn maybe. God knows.

Maybe Howarth has had a change of heart and his place has been taken by a young Dane.
