Will it be a new name or someone who obviously slipped under the Diamonds' radar for one reason or another? It'll be interesting who Leicester bring in !! Obviously it's going to make them stronger.. imo league winners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can replace Rowe with a rider up to the same average but if they change two they go back to the original 42pt building limit. Can't see where they will get two riders from to improve what they have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enotian Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 Mathias Thornblom looked decent in the Swedish Elite league match last night. Mixing it with some top riders. Doesn't look to have a Polish place although someone will probably snap him up if that's the sort of form he's in. Failed at Berwick a good few seasons ago but looked CL heat leader standard last night. Albeit on a vastly different track to Newcastle. Swedes not riding in Poland would fit the bill for the CL as there are hardly any Tuesday fixtures and no Thursday fixtures but too expensive for the Diamonds?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously to have the best track in the country you need zero dirt and only concrete lines... That chew through tyres in no time... Personally the best racetrack I've been to in this country (I haven't been to them all) is Redcar, by a long way too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow is a track I've only been to once, I rode it many many years ago, I have never watched a league meeting there though, so I can't really comment. Obviously Belle Vue, but when the teams are so divided in the top division (GP riders at 1 vs the likes of Jack Thomas etc) then the racing isn't as good sometimes... I still think Redcar is the best I've been to, I just didn't like the view in the stadium of the track (until they opened the back straight, now it's amazing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
