beckettlion Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Sorry to laugh but Vaculik could be given a 9.00 starting average. Leicester have jumped the gun there. Laugh all you like, I for one am really excited to watch a grand prix rider line up for the Lions again. Think our whole fan base will be delighted to get behind Martin and I'm sure he'll be excellent! He may not live up to his 9.00 average, but Doyle didn't maintain his 13+ average from the start of last season and Swindon still won the title. Think our promotion would still have gone for Vaculik had they known he would be on an assessed 9.00 anyway 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Sorry to laugh but Vaculik could be given a 9.00 starting average. Leicester have jumped the gun there. Nothing to laugh at. It's a fair assessment. Thank god it isn't stupid like a 7 for The GP rider Lindback. That really was laughable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve0 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 If Chris Holder lines up for someone he will do so on an average of less than 8. I do not think there is much between him and MV. Yet Nick Morris is on 8.87 and clearly not as good as an SGP rider! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Nothing to laugh at. It's a fair assessment. Thank god it isn't stupid like a 7 for The GP rider Lindback. That really was laughable. Indeed, based on the effort shown he put in he should have been re-assessed on 3.00.

Big Al Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 After years of hearing all sorts of garbage from the previous owner/promoter since joining the top league, but actually ending up with teams composed mainly of leftovers and waiting and waiting for riders to be announced, I for one am delighted the new ownership has "jumped the gun" by announcing the signing of Martin Vaculik at such an early stage. I'm not including Jason Doyle in the "leftovers" category when he was signed from Birmingham, but he wasn't a GP rider at that stage and left due to the intransigence of the owners. The signing makes a statement, to the Leicester supporters and the rest of the league. We're not going to be the whipping boys any more. And we don't need charity handouts from the 1 over 8 fiasco. And, I'd much rather have a Plumber as club owner than a Hairdresser. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudtobeaBrummie Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 I think Leicester have made a real solid start to team building where will josh come in the main body ? i think its imperative to have a strong reserve pairing if you look at most teams good form it was when a strong rider dropped in the 6 or 7 slot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted December 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 As expected, Josh Bates returns Come on Leicester, secure the services again of Newman. Popular with the fans, a 100% rider, who's good on home & away tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Until someone can officially be assured of the assessed averages of incoming riders, how on earth can we have any idea of Leicesters potential lineup. Confirmed: Bates 5.52 Probable. E Riss 5.75, Nilsson 7.13, Newman 4.86 If as confirmed Vaculik starts on 9.00 & Pieszczek on 5.00 It leaves 5.24 for the final member of the team. Lewis Kerr, Jake Allen & Paul Starke are the only signings that mean Pieszczek would start the season at reserve, which surely must be the plan?
