Leicester Lions 2017


Recommended Posts

Can I just made it clear that me & Lion tamer are two different people.

I was just wondering if you had forgotten your password or something and joined again with a slightly different name so thanks for clearing that up........I think. :)

Przedpelski is averaging about 4.8 for Torun this season from 5 matches.

Greg Walasek (remember him?) is averaging about 5.3 from 6.

Looks like Torun are preferring to use Walasek now.

Good that Lions management have been active in looking at ways to boost the interest levels in what's left of the season. Think he will do well to average 6.5 so I hope people don't get expecting him to go round hitting double figures all the time because it's not going to happen.

Presume the deal ensures Lions have priority over him but what would happen if Walasek or MJJ or Meidzinski gets injured and Torun need a replacement?

But it also underlines the relative status of the British and Polish leagues when a rider who is out of form can be farmed out to help him recover it for the principal benefit of the Polish league.

It's a shame Garrity and Leicester just don't seem to be a good mixture, I've a feeling that he's reached his limit and is another Adam Roynon.

Lt in all his glory (not L t)

It'll be Norbold's hole next!

Welcome back "old" friend. We'll have Krissie and Phil posting before you know it

Welcome back

Cheers "Falsie". Wouldn't it be great to get the old gang back in here.

We all know that Flagrag works for SKY so his info is sound, As regards Leicester in my opinion some of what he writes is bullcrap. Lets get one thing straight Pawel Przedpelski is not currently dropped by Torun and is 1st choice over Walasek for meetings- that`s not to say he wasn`t dropped earlier in the season, because he was- but he had a few niggling injuries to contend with. Torun only have 4 league matches left-all on Sunday`s. this signing suits Torun, the rider and Leicester. Torun will remain priority no 1 for him.

Just to clear things up PP has NOT been released from Torun BUT he has been released from the terms of his contract where it states he has to be availble to practise in Poland on a Saturday.

 

So he will ride at Leicester on Saturdays & fly out Sunday like alot of riders currently do when riding at Leicester.

Saturday track - polish meetings at weekends mmm I think the guest rider or rr will make more appearances than your new signing - change your race night and you will see him more often than not .

 

We had that problem with garrity anyway. So can only improve the team

He has been released by his Polish team in order to ride in the Premiership.

Brilliant, an out of form young Brit dropped for an our of form Pole who the Poles don't want. And we wonder why we get spat out the back in the SWC. I could understand if it was someone better, but is it?

 

A season or two ago Przedpelski seemed to be the next top Polish rider, especially when a junior reserve at Torun, since moving out of the junior position things have not moved on. Now he finds himself at Leicester with a chance to do well and regain confidence, should he do that of course and gets a regular team place back in Poland you can bet he won`t be slow in giving up on Leicester.

How can you say that with any confidence....he may well be another Adam Skornicki and rarely let his British team down. Just because some Poles don't see Britain as a priority, it doesn't mean Pawel will be the same.

Nature of the beast. We cannot compete when the Polish come calling. I'll take the short term positive that he's giving British Speedway a go. Be interesting to see how he performs on the UK 'horror tracks' ;-)

Symon Wosniak would still be at Leicester if DH had not let him down!

Looking at the latest averages, Bjerre and Riss will be at reserve. My immediate reaction was that this paring is as good as, if not better than, anyone's in the league (when they are available of course). Then my glass half empty outlook tells me that there is a reason why they have dropped to reserve in a team that are serial wooden spoonists. If they can ride to their capabilities however, especially at home, some serious points could be racked up (although maybe not enough to elevate us to a lofty top 7 league spot). As long as they enjoy themselves eh Jim!

Kim nilsson wanted by Rybnik to replace laguta. But it seems they want him to drop UK.

 

I see Kim as a decent bloke and will probably be loyal but it must be a worry

Don't we have to have a Brit at reserve? In which case it will be Riss & Newman.
