Is it just the track prep that has changed at Leicester? Most meetings I’ve seen on TV from there haven’t been great with an awkward track shape….

I also think the more experienced the rider the better they perform, especially around Leicester and what with the CL and PL being basically the same last season that has also had an effect.

Good luck to him at Leicester, Solid signing that'll score points everywehere. Love the guy but hope he is not our No.1. He’s been everywhere and will be relied upon away. His performances at BP to date have been patchy, but will no doubt be decent once he gets dialled in on his hew home track. A bit concerned about his reputation as a guesting **. Whilst there is no substitute for practice, at his age, recovery periods from any injury can only get longer. Bottom line here though is that he will attract people to BP every week.

Robbee Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 If Connor Mountain is to be re-assesed to his GSA less 25% then = 3.66? Howabout Max Fricke 8.55 Richard Lawson 7.72 Chris Harris 7.40 Nick Morris 6.48 Scott Nicholls 5.15 Connor Mountain 3.66 Total 38.96 plus RS Dan Thompson Might not do too well on our travels but sure as hell would take some beating at Leicester ...... Thoughts anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think "offensive" words are handled automatically by a banned words list, probably administered by the forum platform owners. If you're referring to "ladies of the night" it brings a whole new meaning to the "rider of the night" award 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not been to Leicester but remember seeing some meeting DVDs which had some great races - Scott and Danny King had some battles I remember.

So not necessarily the track always but the calibre/skill of the rider. Most top riders like the track. It's usually the riders that like riding the boards that struggle due to the banking and shape of the track. Seen bomber plenty of times run out of room and having to shut off before at Leicester. But once you get the hang of it it can be a very entertaining track to watch cause it's a little unpredictable at times. Especially with the kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it used to be better? As Erik Riss said he used to like Leicester but doesn't like it now. Actually one of the few riders who will answer the question 'what track do you hate?' !! He said Leicester and Plymouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
