It's a better version of Wolves team last year which is spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas was 4th in three averages at Monmore and his away average was far better. So he should score a lot better at leicester now it's super smooth..

1 valve Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 5 hours ago, FishersGate said: Becker even said in his interview its a technical track Just the same as Max said when he joined Lions last year. The same Max who is now the track record holder. They’ll be no issues for Becker at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 Really like the look of the Leicester top 5 (obviously) just depends if the reserves can back then up. Big season for Kemp jumping out of the RS position, but he's had experience of racing at number 6 with Wolves, so really should add to his 3.03 average, so they've been clever there. Really just leaves Joe T as the weak link, good luck to him, but he looks to be one of the weakest two RS in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people say the weakest team gets first pick of the RS, if true Birmingham would have taken Flint before Leicester got the chance - personally I don't know why that rule would even need to exist! EDIT the latest SGB post explains the RS ruling & for the first time I've seen it announced that the lowest ranked team gets pick of RS.

Kemp has a 4 point average - he's benefitted from the 25% discount for moving out of the RS pool. There's pressure on him, but he seems to like the Leicester track. PS: It's definitely worth using the correct word, rather than a number when you're talking about numbers :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishersGate Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 To be honest the track man said last season there is no grip on the inside due to water gathering near the curb. Well done Mr cairns for sorting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure all teams will have advised their reserves that their over riding priority is to beat your opposite number at home and riders will have been recruited with that in mind. Anyone at 6 or 7 that can produce a score above their average away from home will be considered to have delivered above expectations. Lewis Kerr is probably the only rider most likely to do this.
