Recommended Posts

 

If you look at Leicesters EL ave's:

LEICESTER
1 Kim Nilsson (6.88)
2 Kevin Wolbert (4.80)
3 Kacper Gomolski (5.51)
4 Josh Auty (4.90)
5 Eric Riss (4.11)
6 Andzejs Lebedevs (4.50)
7 Danny Ayres (2.17)
Total 32.87!

 

EL averages don't apply, only converted PL averages are used.

Dreadful team.

 

Lebedevs won't be around much and no top end strength.

 

Another one to go in the bottom-end mix with Somerset and Swindon.

I know the promotion have been busy team building but I am a bit worried that it has all gone quiet on the track alteration front. Presumably there will be some sort of 'Press & Practice' event before the first home league meeting so that only leaves 6/7 weeks to get any work done and for any alterations to settle in.

Colin Cook;

 

One of the most underrated Lions ever!! Especially around Blackbird Road, never say die attitude, could generate so much speed when chasing riders, and passing them more than not.....

If Lebdevs does start at reserve he isby far the best in there. Even when he moves up they will have the strongest reserve in the league

Likely to be Auty who should do better than last season. Wouldn't call him a strong reserve tho as he wasn't last season.

A team isnt meant to be built round one reserve though. They have a very weak top to the team and each of those riders have to take at least 3 rides each. Some of the riders also don't have much experience on these tracks

 

Does this mean that Lebedevs won't be entering the SEC meetings this year then as they are usually on Friday and Saturdays and no guest facility is given?
