RideHard Posted June 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 Big congrats to Leicester better team on the night. Jack Holder absolutely class kept us in it. Would have never believed Toby would not get a win from 5 rides. Have to give big credit to Sedgmen, was sad to see him go last year and he showed exactly what we miss this year. Pickering picked up after a poor start. Not sure what’s up with Ellis this year looks a shadow of the heat leader in 2021 really hope he can turn his season around. thought Leicester would be top 4, now I think they are the favourites to win the play offs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teromaafan Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 Two similar away wins in a week for the Lions. Fewest heat winners in both matches. Down to the last heat in both, despite having had decent leads. Carried Harris in both. Come on Bomber, join in. Being entertaining is not about screwing up in Heat 14 to keep it exciting. Yeah, I know, I’m being greedy, Dicko’s boys are on fire! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think he's a little off on home soil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralMelchett Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) Lions really on form right now - they were pretty solid - Sedgeman was excellent and possible their matchwinner 9+2 was a great score from a visiting no 2 given the stick the track got last week with lack of passing there was plenty of decent racing and passing by tonight!! Plenty of water was put down. Pick of the races was probably any involving Bomber and or Howarth / Pickering. in heat 15 Lawson and Fricke team ride for 2 laps holding up Musielak before he did get past Lawson but he had too much ground to make up - so the Lions got the win they deserved and had almost thrown away.

He was unlucky / slack in heat 10 lions were cruising to a 5-1 and he clipped the lower fence panel as he threw the bike going into the third bend and down he went along with the others behind him! that 1-5 turned to 3-3 and gave the Tigers a chance to get back into it which they took!

Roger Jacobs Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 A very handy result for the Bates franchises to keep them both fully involved in the play-off picture. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 What a match! First time I've been to Sheffield in about 10 years and to be honest I was expecting a bit of a dull affair as it's not the track it used to be... Wrong! Lions were electric from the gate with the only real opposition coming from Jack Holder and Musielak who was always dangerous when behind if a little wild at times. One thing I can't understand... Bomber was clearly the slowest rider out there, riding slower than a slow thing yet unbelievably he was passing people and then managing to stay in front... when he wasn't clipping the fence and falling off, it was quite amazing to watch. Track probably just needed a tiny bit more water on it and it would have been perfect and I wouldn't have come home with a Tiger tan! Any advice on parking as it was the usual bore getting out of the car park... which I didn't mind so much in the past but now I'm paying £3 for that privilige it's not so much fun, even after an away win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There also is a paid for Car Park near Hillsborough corner (not sure if its free at night) - its probably a 5-10 minute walk to the stadium from there. Leicester looking a good solid team last night - should have won by more! Edited June 23, 2023 by GeneralMelchett 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Best team won on the night but Sheffield must be having serious doubts about Adams form. Good rider but way off where he should be this season. Don’t know if it’s hand injury or his bikes but something is not right. The way it’s going at the moment he will get a spell at reserve which could be a good thing for him and the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FromBendThree Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Leicester have really thrown a spanner in the works. Belle Vue. Sheffield, Wolverhampton and Ipswich seemed from the off destined for play offs. Now Leicester have muscled in and a big name will miss out. Makes for exciting league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
