Masters rides Leicester better than fricke. Steve worrall rides Leicester better than sedgmen Lawson probably just edges Rory out this time at 3 Douglas rides Leicester better than bomber. Nick Morris probably just edges wolves number 5. The reserves is where it gets interesting! Could go either way! Nicholls at 5 for Wolves, so they all go well round Leicester. The Lions really need to be firing on all cylinders to get anything out of this. Edited May 4, 2023 by Elmo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just heard heavy showers moving north According to BBC light rain 40% chance at 6pm falling to below 30% between 8pm-10pm. Might get away with it if it's light because it's been so dry and breezy.

I've been home from each of the three Lion's home meetings by round about 21.30. I stayed until the end and then walked to my car, which was not on the track car park. I live 4 miles from the track so the meetings must have finished not long after 21.00 which I should think compares favourably with other tracks.

TTT Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) Epic levels of trolling by the Leicester management to get everyone excited for a significant announcement only to then announce a rider who's never going to ride for Leicester in the top league.

I thought he was already an asset anyway tbh. What does being a club asset get you these days anyway? You may be able to eek a loan fee out of him if he continues to ride in this country, that's about it. Edited May 4, 2023 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40-38 Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 Max Fricke finally showing what he's made of with good team riding and some good passing movements, especially heat 15 on Masters. Sedgman really is the ace in the pack so far though, he's on fire at the moment and looks like he'll have a go at anybody. More dirt on the track didn't equal better racing though, I do miss the bumpy track, at least it was exciting. Unusually poor scores from Schlein and Douglas cost Wolves in the end, it was pretty nip and tuck until the latter stages. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been quite critical of Max, but hats off to him tonight, he really seemed up for it. Onwards and upwards. Loving watching Sedgmen at the moment, goodness knows what he has to do get an outing in heat 15! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry_Bee Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 Overall it was an ok meeting, passing was limited and even then that was due to riders getting bends 3 & 4 wrong. Saying that heat 13 was brilliant, hard but fair racing and that’s the way it should be. like I said it was a fair bit of gate and go and I’ve seen much better racing up at Leicester so it may be just a one off but with riders such as Bomber and Lawson in your team I personally felt that the track didn’t do them any favours in being able to do what they do. Saying that Bomber did make a few good starts though and always good to see Nicholls do well, shame Rory had an off night as always a soft spot for our ex Bees.
