Leicester V Somerset 03.09.18


Recommended Posts

Are both team at full strength?     Haven't read much news on this match.  Rebels have more to race for, but the Lions surely want to finish the fixtures with a decent showing.   Cant see anything else then an away win.     But who know how Leicester will perform...….

It's gone absolutely still in LE4, with darkish hazy clouds settled in and around. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a thunderclap or two.

Hope that Hans "Michael Fish" Andersen wins the coin toss just in case it doesn't get past heat 10

It makes sense, if he was riding through the pain barrier and word had got through that Lynn had won at Wolves then it was sensible for Doyle to not aggravate his back further. Will be interesting to see if he rides tonight and tomorrow.

Pleased to see Connor put in a strong performance. Was very disappointed when Ipswich released Connor but it seems to have been a blessing in disguise for him, securing team places at Sheffield and Leicester. It's clear he never enjoyed riding the Ipswich track and being released enabled a fresh start. Should the league set ups stay the same, Connor should have Championship and Premiership speedway next year and make the move up from the National League, hopefully as a National League Riders Champion.

Very impressed with how Connor has improved this season riding for Coventry and lately Leicester.  He has come on tremendously well and must be one of the few riders who rides the Beaumont Park track really well. :D Pleased he has now been signed as an asset for 2019.

Having watched him at NL and PL levels he certainly looks a good prospect and hopefully, with opportunities at CL and PL will continue to develop. A good signing.

And he came very close to being binned by Leicester about a month ago!
