Speedway: Peterborough lose 33-57 against Leicester
They had two riders disqualified
Peterborough suffered their heaviest loss of the season ending 33-57 against Leicester yesterday (Thursday 6th).
They had just three race wins and two disqualifications.
Niels-Kristian won back-to-back races in Heats 11 and 12 but ruled as delaying the start in Heat 15.
Richie Worrall was ruled out of Heat 5 for what was deemed to be a second offence of movement at the start.
Manager Rob Lyon said: “It’s the same old, same old – three heat winners, we know the score and we know the team is not consistently good enough.
“I’m sure the boys are putting the effort in, I can’t question that, but the bottom line is that it’s just not good enough.
“Things went against us and that didn’t help us – the tyre situation at the start of the meeting, the track was very slick, and the referee made some strange calls and it’s not the first time, that’s all I’m going to say!
“It adds salt to the wound really, and when you’re not riding well enough as a team you don’t need that type of bad luck to go against you.”
Panthers are back in action on Monday when they travel to King’s Lynn.
