Clearly too grippy for the kids and seemed the complete opposite from Monday. Surely the other way round would make sense. But then again I'm no expert. With an afternoon practice to get dialled in a grippy Leicester at NL is a huge advantage. The score would have been similar if the track was slick. The difference between the two sides is vast.

The telling moment was the way he reacted when Ablitt packed up inches in front of him (ht 6) skillfully changing line to avoid an almighty collision.

Happy Hunter Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Dan Thompson out for 12 days due to being concussed at Peterborough last night. I think that means he misses the next three Cub's meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellioth4 Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) Belle Vue V Leicester moved from Friday 9th June to Friday 8th September as James Pearson and both Thompson twins would of been missing due to the rearranged Scunthorpe V Birmingham KOC meeting. Good move now can attend both legs of this encounter. Full team hopefully for the new date in September. Will be at the home one on Saturday.

A real shame for those of us from Leicester that were making a mini road trip taking in Cubs vs Belle Vue on the Friday and then Cubs vs Workington the following day. Hotel bookings now having to be cancelled and travel arrangements re-organised. The joys of a speedway supporter!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Hunter Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 Roynon will do a job gor the Cubs but I don't expect him to come up with any heroics if he doesn't make the gate. I can understand why, he's had some horrific crashes over the years. I'm not expecting much from Ward. I suspect James will get five rides. As a result I think the score could be quite close. I'm hoping Joe Thompson has a good night as I think it will do his confidence a load of good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no beating a rider the quality of Ben Morley off a 15 metre handicap then? http://www.gbspeedway.com/2022/meeting.php?mc1=x&mc2=f&mc3=pf&mc4=Oxford Chargers&comp=NL&meeting=440 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked dodgy after 4 races but the Cubs rallied well. If Dan and Vinnie had been riding it would have been.a bigger winning margin.

Ashton Boughen has been offered a contract & will be in the Cubs team in 2023 . 5 riders are returning & 2 new riders coming into the team. If true I am looking forward to an exciting season with bright young talents Might not be a Lion Cub next season now that he's under contract to Oxford. Ironically his next match for the Cubs is on Saturday against his next season's team mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the opportunity for more practice sessions at Beaumont Park than at Cowley might influence his decision about who he rides for in the NDL next season.

Will there be a cubs under the new owners? There wasn't under the old ones was there? Especially as there are a total of zero riders in the senior team from the Cubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
