Big Al Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 Amazing innit? Three totally different reasons. NL has probably saved itself from a bore/dust fest though. Good opportunity to do some work on the track? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(apart from the footy) 14 hours ago, stevethelion said: Leicester v Wolves moved from Wed. 27th June to July 2nd, because Lions would have been missing Andersen & Bjerre due to Danish commitments. Wolves agreed to switch, although 2nd July could clash with England match depending if they qualify from their group & in what position. 12 hours ago, flagrag said: NL fours cancelled due to football and England playing last group game. There was also two clubs that had rider availability issues so made sense to change the date. For one wonderful moment I hoped they were ripping the track up and putting a new one in... oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 As his collar bone is not broken as first thought perhaps he won't miss any meetings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justathought Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) LEICESTER’s Kyle Newman has received some positive news regarding his collarbone injury.The Lions’ No.2 crashed out of his Championship fixture for Lakeside on Friday and was withdrawn due to a suspected broken collarbone.But x-rays show no broken bones and that the AC joint between the shoulder and collarbone is displaced.Newman requires physiotherapy and his situation will be assessed nearer the next fixture which takes place at Wolverhampton’s Monmore Green Stadium on Monday, June 25 (7.30).

Big Al Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 On 6/14/2018 at 2:40 PM, stevethelion said: Yes, that's what I think the averages will be calculated 23rd June with effect 1st July. So taking the obvious decision to get rid of Kurtz to allow Newman to return to reserve it would be 4.02 + 2.33 = 6.35. If you look at last years Premiership average both Riss & Bjerre would fit, but don't they have to go on the most recent average now , which would be this seasons championship average x 1.3. 6.35 x 1.3 is 8.25. So any championship rider up to 8.25 would fit, Riss is 8.11, Bjerre 8.18, at the minute both would fit, but when Julys Championship averages are calculated they maybe too high, depends on their new average. I see that Charles Wright who has just been sacked by Somerset has an average of 6.36 but of course that will soon change whether up or down I don't know. But if he has become a troublemaker I'm not sure he'd be worth it anyway. The Bateses will know best of course with him being at Sheffield this year. I thought Leicester actually treated him quite badly in 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Leicester actually treated him quite badly in 2011. Had just looked at the Somerset website to see if they had any updated rolling averages & the latest average they have for him which was updated on the 13th June is 6.19, so if the figures on the Lions website are the official figures that are used for July averages ( calculated 23/6) , he will fit, if they release Kurtz.

I thought he wasn't given very long to settle and seemed a bit left out in a team spirit sense. He was very young then and perhaps not given enough encouragement. Still, Leicester reserves in those days were not generally treated very well, there was a long list of short tenures. The track was difficult for less experienced riders to master and so they tended to lose confidence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His average is showing 6.36, and if we release Kurtz we have 5.5 to play with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His rolling average according to the Somerset website is now 6.19 , which was updated on the 13th June & he hasn't ridden since. The same applies to Lions, if you go on the website you will see the updated rolling averages, as Lions aren't riding again until the 25th I presume these rolling averages are the ones that will be used from 1st July. Remembering that Pieszczek, Sargeant & Kurtz are on assessed averages until they have done 4h & 4a.So I think the averages for July will be Bjerre 7.54, Andersen 7.42, Pieszczek 6.50, King 6.46, Newman 5.23, Kurtz 4.02, Sarjeant 3.00, which totals 40.17. If you take Kurtz's 4.02 away it leaves 6.35 to play with. But this doesn't come into effect until 1st July, so any changes using these averages would have to be from then.

Big Al Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 You hear quite a bit this season from tracks up and down the land, that promoters and curators are not putting down enough material according to both spectators and riders preferences. I'm sure it's not everywhere and then there are places like NSS where it's better not to be too deep and grippy. If one of Charles Wright's main grouses with Somerset was lack of material on the track, particularly out wide, isn't he likely to find the same problems elsewhere, including at Leicester?

Trouble is with riders if you ask 14 riders at a meeting, you'll get 14 wildly different answers... it's probably just best to prepare it to what you know produces the best racing. Listening to Danny King's interview after the Swindon match he said the track was getting better and better each week and is nearly where they want it... but going on the reports of how the racing was at this match it doesn't seem to be how the fans want it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes you wonder how his scorings going to affected by it for the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's withdrawn from tonight's meeting at Ipswich after 2 rides with his arm injury again, seems like he can't get it right, maybe a rest for a couple of weeks or so is the best thing for him.
