TTT

Leicester are now bang in trouble, BV trapping off 2 & 4 plus Fricke is looking awful.

Lions have a run of favourable Gate 1's now.

Lions lucky not to be 10 down already. Kurtz threw away points after trapping.

BV need a 12 point lead minimum.

Pics from SpeedwayGB's X account have just been uploaded in regards to current track conditions.

Will be but Leicester did lose 51-33 at BV when the track was wet earlier in the season if that's anything to go by. Douggie could be a bit rusty too which levels those that out imo. I'm just basing everything around riders performances around the NSS this season and it doesn't make for good reading in regards to Lions riders apart from Fricke & Douglas. Lawson 13+3 from 12 Rides Masters 14+1 from 10 Rides Becker 8+2 from 7 Rides

Already got BV to win the league so I wasn't going to have another bet this season but BELLE VUE -8.0 @ 10/11 has to be snapped up. Leicester lost 48-42 at BV when Kurtz was missing and R/R only got 4+2 in his absense Leicester lost 51-33 at BV (Meeting abandoned after 14 Heats)

It's now LEI 8/11 and BV 1/1

BV favourties for me. NKI is on par with Ben Cook around the NSS and I'd say NKI would be stronger around Leicester tbh. Lidsey seems to have changed his machinery back so BV now have 4 genuine HL's.

NKI guests for Ben Cook. NKI has scored Double figures on both of his visits to the NSS this year so BV aren't weakened at all imo.

Kerr instead of Wojdylo at 6. 1. Lawson 2. Kvech 3. NKI 4. Klindt 5. Basso / B. Cook 6. Kerr 7. Jenkins (RS)

That's the best strength in depth side I can come up with using the usual riders in Buster's phonebook. 1. Lawson 2. Kvech 3. NKI 4. Klindt 5. Basso / B. Cook 6. Wojdylo 7. Jenkins (RS)

I'll go with the rumours of Rowe because Buster won't pay more than the Bates family for a rider. 1. J. Holder 2. Howarth 3. Pickering 4. ? 5. C. Holder / Woffinden 6. Rowe 7. Edwards (RS)

They're overreacting to the Ben Cook injury. BV will shorten drastically after the 1st leg imo.

Glad to hear the positive update on Ben Cook.

Nobody would've stopped a fully fit Ipswich side. It was impossible due to Emil and Doyle putting up around 25 points between them every week which lead to the other 5 riders jobs being made easy.

BV Mexicans 1 Sheffield's Bend 2 Barmy Army 0 I guess Jack Holder won't be signing any autographs tonight.

That's who I'd go for but he's probably packed up his gear by now. Charles Wright a local lad, Raring to go seems the obvious go to option.

The Holder's even got sick of the death trap tonight. Steady and co. should be satisified with the KOC win because they only won that due to Emil feeling the full force of Owlerton.

I suppose BV will book Wright to guest for them in the Final. May the best team win.

Mental Capitulation under pressure from one of the best managers in the World. Edwards only beat Mulford in Heat 2 before that race.

Well done Antti and BV. Lions riders will be smiling tonight knowing that they don't have to ride the injury trap of Owlerton.

Silly move leaving Edwards in, Stead's mentally gone. Gilkes 5 points tonight, Edwards only 1 point.

Take a bow Brady Kurtz, That was world class and showed balls of steel.

Yep, Good friends with Cook and Darcy so he was always going to opt out of that race imo.
