justathought Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 LEICESTER are set to bring in Swedish racer Victor Palovaara to ease their injury problems.Palovaara, who was recently released by Edinburgh as part of a double team change, will be joining the Lions in place of the injured Josh Bates.Manager Stewart Dickson said: “I believe Victor will be a welcome addition to our team and I feel he will be suited to riding the Leicester track.“I have worked with him before and his equipment is immaculate and he is a very capable rider.“It’s also appropriate to mention Josh Bates, who proved so many doubters and experts wrong when he came back to race for us this year and increased his average by over a point.“We wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him again in Lions colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 The second Swedish Victor of the current era. Did Peter Ljung suggest him as a Lions signing after his short stint at BP in 2014? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His average was 6.42 when he was released by Edinburgh last week. But with the new averages being released anytime now ( calculated on the 23rd of the month), he could well have a different average which will be in effect from the 1st of August. But will start with 6.42 for the 2 meetings against Glasgow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flagrag Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Hopefully Victor will be a good signing for the Lions and can strengthen the middle order of the team up. Although Leicester fans will have to wait to see him in action as it’s the Swedish final this weekend which he is riding in but as a National final a guest is available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That only gives Ryan Douglas a ride as the rider above and Ellis Perks and the reserves below. Not quite panic stations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I was right, you can't get r/r for a rider that hasn't ridden for you. By the way, calling Victor pavlova isn't funny anymore (not sure it was in the first place) and is the sort of thing a lazy 'journalist' would do 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris guests , Bates still included & R/R for him. Doesn't mention the team for Saturday yet, but surely would be stronger to use the R/R facility for Worrall & guest for Bates, with the added 5%, anyone up to 7.35 , which could be someone like Howarth, Heeps or NBJ.
