Lord Lucan Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 The quote from Laura on the website says “Without question he has a lot more to give and he is certainly capable of increasing his average substantially." Haven't people been saying that for 4 years now?, can't see it myself, the thing is away from home he scores 4 or 5 points too often, can't see much change unfortunately. Only 22.5 left for 4 riders now, one of Wells, Grajczonek, Howarth won't be back if not more, would of settled for Wells instead of Bach I think. Bout the size of it, if he has more to give why wait for the fifth year of his reign before showing it, improved form from him over the last couple of seasons with the riders we had could have proved a winner for us but, as you say, too many four/five pt scores when we really needed the ten plus? Dont equate the term a "substantial increase in average" with Rene, this injury business plays on his mind I'm sure it does, always gives me the impression that he's saving a bit for himself, which, tho understandable, is not conducive to a substantial increase in average? 22.5 for four riders, Wells would be my pick out of that lot but with Hansen/Howarth being Coventry team mates I can see that being a factor, help each other here as well as there!! Bach has found his level, good old Promoter propaganda though Yeah, looks that way to me as well!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) I love Rusty around Derwent Park but too inconsistent away from home, bit like someone else haha Edited November 26, 2014 by DynamoDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz325 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Some real doom and gloom merchants on here, only three riders named and its the end of the world...lighten up! Probably have Ricky Wells back on his average but this could squeeze Kyle out? Hopefully have Simon Lambert back next season too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably have Ricky Wells back on his average but this could squeeze Kyle out? Hopefully have Simon Lambert back next season too. Two disappointing performers from last years team and a slightly suspect EL drop down, the reasons to be excited at this time are....where exactly? i think we are going to have adam roynon and mason campton /// next year/////////////////// at reserve. . now thats a christmas wish..

flagrag Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 No Leicester are not changing their race night but will be trying to avoid GP weeks to keep Doyle and so teams come at full Strength. I have heard that Simon Lambert was not very happy to be picked by Leicester in the draft as had agreed a deal with Workington for 2015 which he can no longer honour.

I know of one rider that didn't nominate for the draft that would of most likely got a spot for that reason. Junior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madsteve Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Maybe: 1. Ulrich Ostergaard (8.00)2. Kenneth Hansen (7.70)3. Rene Bach (7.64)4. Nicolai Klindt (6.68)5. Adam Roynon (4.78)6. Mason Campton (4.66)7. Max Dilger (3.04) Leaving 0.00 or: 1. Kenneth Hansen (7.70)2. Rene Bach (7.64)3. Richie Worrall (7.32)4. Ricky Wells (6.49)5. Adam Roynon (4.78)6. Mason Campton (4.66)7. Simon Lambert (3.73) Leaving 0.18 But I will probably be wide of the mark - again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard that Simon Lambert was not very happy to be picked by Leicester in the draft as had agreed a deal with Workington for 2015 which he can no longer honour. If he'd already signed then he shouldn't have been allowed to be picked by Leicester. Riders last year had signed for teams before the draft and a couple of them had this year (admittedly Garrity was protected). If you already have a team place the EL team can't pick you. If I was Lambert I'd still sign for Workington. PL takes priority anyway. Leicester will have to use guests ever week or drop him then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was Lambert I'd still sign for Workington. PL takes priority anyway. Leicester will have to use guests ever week or drop him then That's only relevant if the rider mentions it in the Draft form. There was an opportunity to disclose any nights where the rider would be unavailable due to PL offers. One can only assume he wasn't expecting to get picked, the offer came in after he'd confirmed his interest, or he wasn't expecting the only team he couldn't ride for (Leicester) to pick him. If history has shown us anything, you should never overestimate/underestimate the Leicester promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
