Lebedevs is not rubbish :rofl:

I'm inclined to think beating Woffinden, Fricke and Michelsen in a single meeting suggests he might be ok at the NSS.  :wink:

Didn’t he average less than 4 last time for Lynn and only seems to be on the decline? 

That was nearly ten years ago! He was very young and raw then and couldn't handle all the grip at Lynn (not the first).

although Milik is in a similar spiral, i would have thought his average would fit closer? Sub 6 last time he was over, also with Lynn?

Lebedevs only had a few meetings for Lynn in his younger days.He is better now than he was then.He will be good at the NSS for sure.

It was but didn’t someone say the last 2 would be above the German in averages?
I was going by averages gained and what would fit. 

Presume he will get reassessed if it is in fact him.

Shouldn't think Lebedevs attained an average while at Lynn,unsure whether he done enough matches.Could be wrong i haven't got the memory i use too.So would most likely be on an assessed average i would guess.

I'd be very surprised if any 2022 Ace is not involved in the Peter Craven meeting. So had assumed one of the final two would be NKI or Zagar, the latter being more likely as a former Ace.  NKI was track record holder of the NSS during the first season the track opened but has had an awful lot of injuries since then.

Lebedevs would be great, always good value entertainment wise. Was decent at SoN.  Averaged 3.73 from 4 meetings in 2013 for Kings Lynn.  Never been a GP rider, so what would his assessed average be? 6!00?

The Lebedevs rumour has been getting stronger all week and, subject to all the usual paperwork sounds like it’s going to happen. Suggestion is an average of 5.5 or 6 with maybe Jake Allen joining him. 
That would then tie into all the heavy hints from the “in the know brigade” of one familiar rider and an exciting new face and also that the “exciting new face” would come into the team below Charles Wright but be expected to take over as third heat leader during the season. 
Maybe not as strong as the Bewley/Thomson combo but should be good enough to give the Aces faithful something to cheer about

Amazed Allen has not still got a birth in top league, with good equipment ,a rider that can beat anyone anywhere, average that only will go up

Ace's started 2021 with Wright at #5, which I'd consider "2nd heat leader".  Sure Bewley surpassed him (& Kurtz) obviously, but Wright was "3rd heat leader" for the final 5 months of last season?

Surely after being out of UK Speedway since 2013 he should get a reduction? :D

I think that was what I was trying to say - Wright will start the season as third heat leader. I can’t find his average but assume it’s higher than 6.00. Then, if it is Lebedevs, the expectation is he’ll be better than Charles and so will take over the third heat leader role when he gets his first real average.
