Leicester promotion have publicly come out and said Reserves need to do better - will be tough against Ty Proctor and was really tough against Nicolai Klindt ! Also need to publicly come out and tell Kenneth Bjerre to do better too I reckon - he has hardly shown No 1 form so far this year and needs to do a lot better if Lions are going to do anything this season. We get to Hts 13 and Ht15 usually in front but cannot do against other team big guns ! KL have got Iversen and Lambert .....

 

PS : Poole next week with guess what Klindt at reserve !

 

Cheers

 

Proctor is easily as good as Klindt so could be as good, Leicester reserves are very poor, it is ok to say they need to do better but they don't have the ability. Bjerre looked unbeatable last week in the early races but after his fall he wasn't so good.

Nice weather,  closest team to go away too,  with plenty of time on my hands  I would have usually have  gone to this meeting, (as like like previous years), but when we can sit at home with a beer and watch  BV riding at the NSS afraid there's no contest......

 

 

Absolutely- it’s a no brainier - up until 12 months ago I’d definitely been at Leicester tonight- not been to KL since July 1st last season so I’m quite happy watching on TV the racing from BV .

Pretty solid all round by the Stars riders, and the track record goes to NKI :D

Yes indeed great performance.Can't wait now to see Garrity don the the King's Lynn colours next week.

Heat 6 tonight did Simon Lambert really post a time of just .01 outside of NKI's new track record:blink:.According to the updates he did.

Edit: Just seen elsewhere that it was indeed Robert Lambert that won heat 6.Thought we had signed a ringer at no7 there for a minute.

Some changes needed for the Lions. Bjerre not good enough and reserves appalling as usual. 

It's those three I'd be looking to change. Bjerre has only averaged 6.4 this season and doesn't look like improving. Surely Lions can use the 15.3 available to replace those three with a stronger trio.

Note to Lions management, next season make Thomas Jorgensen the first rider you  attempt to sign, seems to fly round BP every time he visits, always seems to hit double figures. The Kings Lynn boys were a class above anything the Lions could offer( Andersen apart), Pieszczek's form has dipped dramatically, Bjerre is poor & Kurtz looks like he's riding a lawnmower.

Our reserves are a concern as we know but Bjerre's scores are simply unacceptable for a No.1. According to my programmes, he has won two races (add in two further paid wins if it makes it look better) in the last 4 home meetings and is struggling to hit his CMA for performances on his home track. Whilst BP, as we are constantly reminded by all speedway followers, is supposedly all about gating, it appears that nobody told the KL riders that tonight. Bjerre has been referred to as a 'gating tart', but as a No. 1 you should be able to come from the back on your own track in some races. Top riders can make passes at Leicester, fact (seen it too often from visiting riders). The heat where Nielsen took Bjerre on the run in to the flag was the race of the night, but I asked myself, could Bjerre ever do that to an opposing rider? From what I've seen this season the answer is an emphatic no. If he doesn't gate first, bend 2 of the first lap seems to be the last effort he will make to pass. Being brutally honest, I do not think he has the bottle/desire to chase a rider down, which usually means being prepared to leave the throttle open a split second longer than the rider in front and being prepared to change your racing line. KB simply does not deliver from what I've seen this season.

Regardless of my opinion, its about points/results.
