Same here but he seems to be a golden boy with the owner as Greg Hancock is mentoring William Cairns so he will have a place every season I’m guessing,normal circumstances he would and should have been the 1st rider out of the door.

Once he got himself and his bikes dialled in Becker produced some good consistent scores - so he can do it. 
If he reduces the inconsistency of last season then he will be very good in 2024. 
Definitely worth keeping.

Exactly, same as howarth in there to be consistent at getting a few points but nothing spectacular.

Becker was always gonna return as he's a cash cow. No Becker , less money

Why is he a "cash cow" for the promotion over any other rider?

He was fantastic at Foxhall at one of the meetings last year so Leicester will be hoping he can more like that every meeting and if he can they should be ok to mix it.

US sponsorship or maybe US speedway fans watching streams?  Maybe he attracts Wolverhampton supporters?

Are there any US sponsors of the Lions rather than just Luke? Likewise, the value associated with the number of Wolves fans coming over to Leicester would hardly justify the term "cash cow". 
The case in point re Luke being retained is more in SD's belief that Luke will improve on his 2024 average over any other consideration.

After checking, it appears that the Witches were without Emil and Jason on that occasion.

Stewart in the PR is basically saying everything I've said on here in regards to Becker.

It's the make or break signing for Leicester, Could work out like a treat but it could also backfire drastically.

We know what Luke's capable of as he showed it for a short spell this year.
