Hopefully he gets what needs changing changed and can do better in his next fixture. You wonder if it would do Leon better if he made himself available for the Polish Under-24 league, he has flirted with Poland with ROW Rybnik in the past. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon has already stated that he needs an operation to sort out his shoulder at the end of the season.Why is he taking on extra fixtures.Though his connection with Rybnik would have got him in.If he wanted a place.

His father then decided the UK was not for him as he, allegedly, didn't fancy the standard of facilities or tracks. He may were well have a World Champion by now if he learned a bit of Ashfield track craft lol I remember telling some older Glasgow fans the Madsen was Tiger.(on paper) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinh88 Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Don't blame Madsen really. A big meeting is never going to be held at Armadale or Brough Park. Moreover he hasn't done badly giving the UK a wide berth since then. With more purpose built tracks in Britain being built I think this could be very good for the longevity of the Sport in the UK. That being said I saw a very good meeting at Leicester last week. Not a place synonymous with good/great races previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was standing just behind him and his small ( numerically ) entourage at what is now the 3rd/4th bend. Just looked like a regular very young wee fella wearing classy shades. Most were pretty shocked to learn that he had a change mind with a list of complaints to support. One rumour was that he also wanted someone to do his clothes washing for him ( allegedly ), which was turned down. If that was true the guy must have felt devastated - honestly who likes to do their own washing especially when you are only 16 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember him riding armadale at least once. The born in USA introduction was as of we'd signed the next coming!! Anyway we know knudsen will definitely do better than Madsen did for us and more than likely better than Eric too!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 He had four sessions, each running different lines and presumably with bike set up changing. By his last 'heat' he was looking extremely good - but as said above, you can never quite be sure when a rider is out on his own. Nice lad, too.....
