AUSTRALIAN star Sam Masters will be back for a second season with the Leicester Lions in 2025.<\/p>\n
Masters joined the Lions last winter after an extensive spell with Wolverhampton prior to the forced closure of the Monmore club, and he helped his new side to the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership Grand Final.<\/p>\n
Manager Stewart Dickson said: \u201cSam is very consistent, and he wins big races.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI think he had a slow start to the season, but he then picked up his form, and quite often he was asked to go with Max (Fricke) in Heat 15 up against some very good riders.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cHe delivered more often than not and I\u2019m sure the highlight of this season would have been the two Heat 15 5-1s in the play-off semi-final against Ipswich.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI know people said he had a big home track advantage at Monmore Green and his average could only go one way, but he actually put his average up when he came to Leicester which shows he\u2019s still very capable of doing a heat-leader job for us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Words and Feature Image by British Speedway<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" AUSTRALIAN star Sam Masters will be back for a second season with the Leicester Lions in 2025.
