Trust me, he’ll be in the GP’s within 2 years. He missed out by 1 bad start last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its arguably weaker than most at reserve but the top 5 is one of the strongest in the league. Fricke should have another strong season and has the 3rd best average in the league. Douglas and masters are both brilliant at leicester. Douglas is a far better rider now since his last stint at the club. Masters should benefit from riding at.either 2,3,4 or even 5. Lawson is solid and will probably partner fricke at 2. Becker is the the wild card but have heard nothing but good stuff about him. Stewart also has a great advantage of the riding order. He could be unorthodox and change it up every few meetings. I'd personally go for this line up 1. Fricke 2. Lawson 3. Becker 4. Masters. 5. Douglas. Masters has to be at 5 surely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat 13 away from would be stronger. Masters at 14 is almost a trump card. But either way its strong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And was a true number 1 for several seasons at Wolves with one of the top 10 averages every season…… bar 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His average last year was higher but tailed off towards the end, maybe realising he had to find a new team, a lower average certainly helps. He's better than his current average for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Becker could turn out to be the signing that gives the top 5 another genuine heats 13&15 performer. Hope I am proved wrong, but Masters might be beyond his best years now.

Barring injuries, he should ride at no6 all season & he will ride with his fellow reserve in heat 2 BUT with one of your top 5 in his other three!

He will be 22 this year but has been around a while. If he is going places he really needs to kick on this season and put at least a point on his average (currently just over 4). From what I’ve seen of him he is great if he traps but isn’t that keen to chase down and jostle opponents, particularly in tight situations. We all know he has potential, but that word has a sell by date! Really hope this is his year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 is far harder than number 7, so if Kemp can reach 4.00 he'll have done well imo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
