spin king Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 2013 Team: as announced on Lions website Oh YEEESSSSSSS!!!!!! Kauko Nieminen (8.18) Lasse Bjerre (7.31) Kevin Doolan (7.29) Adam Roynon (7.07) Jan Graversen (4.91) Simon Nielsen (4.08) Lewis Blackbird (3.00) Total: 41.84 The above line-up is subject to BSPA approval. ------------------------------------------------------- Very strong top 4 and you find it difficult to find a better top 4. Little bit weak at the tail but if those riders can make some improvement on their averages then yuo could be looking at a Championship challenging team.

I think both Roynon and Bjerre have the potential to be fighting it out with Nieminen as Lions No1. Along with Doolan it looks a great top 4. Graversen and Nielsen should be solid at 5 and 6. The one question mark i'd have is Lewis at No7 but with under 4 points to play with he's probably worth a second chance and hopefully he'll turn the obvious efforts of last year into a few more points this one.

speedflash Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) Lewis Blackbird and Lewis Kerr will be double up at 7 as both ride NL. The great thing about this side is that all these guys wanted to ride for Leicester they work with me to sort the deals out under the new pay rules. To build the team in 7 days is fantastic effort from the riders to work together. Edited November 25, 2012 by speedflash 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glennylion Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Thought Fisher was coming???? Over the moon with Roynon. Fantastic signing and was impressive last year. Nemo, Bjerre, Neilson and Graverson look like a good solid team. Lets hope Lewis develops and gets the rewards his efforts demand and lets hope Doolan has found his confidence.

topaz325 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Good team, sorry to see Adam Roynon leave Worky, if Adam can avoid any injuries i can see him really improving and being one of the major players in the PL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 i think if you take away masters,karlsson and blackbird you have your team for 2013 why they would choose doolan over karlsson is beyond me if thats the case,doolan has been pretty poor at bp in fact pretty poor everywhere. Mystic neb. If Roynon can stay fit, I think we will be there or thereabouts and most have the potential to up their average. Looking forward to 2013. Oh and Mrs Elmo is chuffed Lewis is back.

JCookie Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Given how well Leicester did with 4 reserves and 3 heatleaders last year you'd imagine they'll be hard to stop with 4 heatleaders and 3 reserves this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wandersome Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Well you got what u wanted. Well done Embarrassed to take any credit for the guessing. I think our team manager may be too much of a fan to keep most things quiet and by that point i think i just about knew too much ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glennylion Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Hurricanes, I know. He wasn't good for Ipswich but then improved massively for Redcar. Hope that what ever he was missing at Ipswich, he found at Redcar and will come to us in good shape This thing with Peterboro. What will be different next season? If they objected to it this year as they didn't want to lose any elite fans in Leicestershire, will they just do the same next year? Never bend over to those issuing ultimatums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
