False dawn

RR is always a gamble

That was bad enough but to "fix" that problem by making changes that meant Bomber left the club, went down like a lead balloon. I'm not saying that Leicester would have made the playoffs had Bomber been retained. But they would have gone down fighting unlike that distrastrous performance last night. I know Bomber only got 3 last night and that wouldn't have helped Leicester had he been riding for them. But he brings more than his on track points. Overall, my feeling from talking to fans, was that the team had changed so much, it was hard to relate to in any meaningful way. It came down to just numbers, which doesn't excite anyone.

You might get a more receptive audience on a different thread. I think the Leicester faithful are not seeing much to laugh about in this just now.

Unless you're onboard the drone, of course.

Who says they will not be in the GP series?

All

Perhaps we should adopt the Minority Report principle and ban riders ahead of time based on what they might do. Ben Barker would have to retire rightaway.

He refused a test in 2018 and was given a 2 year ban as a result. Retired and then came back this year.

Do we have any indication of the current frequency of testing. Or the cost of doing it at every meeting?

Bomber? Oh hang on, there might be a couple of problems with that idea.

It's so annoying. Leicester had just started to recover from the period of disruption that started with the Nick Morris situation. And now this. Talk about self inflicted wounds,

If the authorities catch 2 riders having tested only 4 on this occasion, it's fair to assume there could be more testing on the way

They are expelling themselves. A piece at a time

Chris Morton told the Nuneaton Speedway Supporters Club meeting a while back, that it's not adding the temporary stands that is the problem. It's ensuring that the increased number of people could evacuate the stadium safely in the event of an emergency.

Simon Lambert? He's probably older than Neil

7th provided the guests for the others (assuming they allow guests in Denmark?)

Better start 6:00 and get cracking then.

Not quite. Thomas's new average is effective tomorrow.

We might even get Glasgow back on board for the originally promised three way final. Then again, pigs might fly.

Interesting side note. The twins in the Tintin stories were no such thing. One spelled his surname with a p and one without. I'll get my coat

Given that Andzejs Lebedevs has been announced as the confirmed replacement for Anders Thomson but nothing regarding Jan Kvech, can we assume Jack is planning to try and ride.

I fully agree. Two or three genuine WC prospects in the GP series would add enormously to the spectacle. I was somewhat disappointed by the comments of one respected commentator recently who reckons Emil and Artem would be allowed into the GP qualifiers next year, meaning they would not be in the series proper until 2025 at the earliest. How's that for opening the 2024 wildcard debate in August 2023?

This was the original information. I guess we just substitute Dan for Mr. Lawson.... BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY PREVIEW - Leicester Lions Speedway - Official Website (leicesterspeedway.com)

Looks like I could apply for the job of team manager then...... Dan the man, guest for the Lions tonight.

Breaking news. Leicester get their first race winner. In heat 15. And a heat advantage.
