Brave move putting Craig Cook at no 5 for Lions!

He probably won't show... it's a bit far from Cumbria.

Cook at 5.... that's got rr written all over it.. :wink:

You surely have to put your second or third best rider at No.5 since that position partners a reserve in three of the programmed rides? In the final ride No.5 is up against the opposition 1 & 5. If R/R is used, neither Lawson or Fricke can take an extra ride. Doesn't seem good away from home.

Thanking anyone in advance who can offer a logical reason for the switch around.

Maybe Fricke & Worral paired together to get some 5-1's to negate the Doyle & Emil 5-1's at the end of the meeting, sacrifice the 5 & Reserve races?

The Fricke/Worrall pairing would only have one heat where they didn't face either Emil or Doyle. There are three races where 5 & 6/7 are together. Perhaps looking to get something from Heat 8 from Worrall, but Sedgy at No.2 would be just as capable as Worrall in that race. Still don't get it!

No idea then... if you were going to do anything innovative surely that's what you'd do

Number 5 faces Doyle and Sayfutdinov twice, 3 and 4 only once, so save your second best rider to try and beat the others

Seems to me that they are over thinking it

Gonna get pumped whatever :P

You're probably right, the outcome of a meeting is highly unlikely to be down to a team's riding order! Can't polish a turd as they say (although it can apparently be rolled in glitter)!

Should be a tight match, Emil/doyle pairing in for another test,bet  track is slick ,almost like lions have predicted another gate and follow leader nite at the foxhole 

Clueless. Been three times to Ipswich this year and there was great racing in every meeting. Track wasn’t “slick” in any of them.

If anything it’s been the opposite. More than once they’ve had to work on the track this season to try and slicken it off and make it easier to ride. Still say we’ve produced the race of the season this year in the Premiership! That heat 13 against Sheffield literally took my breath away. Looked good on the telly box, but watching it live in the back straight stand was something else.

Stewart Dickson juggling his riding order, including a new opening combination of captain Max Fricke and Richie Worrall.

Dickson said: “I’ve been looking to get a better balance in the team, and we weren’t fully aware of Craig’s fitness when the line-up was declared, but that’s what we’re trying to do.

“I want to look to hurt Ipswich in certain areas, but I know it’s going to be really tough to win down there.
