TheMessiahOfTheBSF 84 Posted January 29, 2020 Good news. Hopefully Smolinski can find a mechanic ASAP. Would be a good laugh to see the Witches pick up the wooden spoon in 2020 after reaching the Grand Final in 2019. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you look at speedweek it explains he is looking for a mechanic because he is first reserve for the GPs and wants someone to boost his team. As I stated a few days back he has also just bought Jan Andersson’s tuning business , so has plenty to do. No way will he be in the UK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bash 496 Posted January 29, 2020 Even if it does mean Premiership he could be signing for Peterborough not Ipswich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon1983 557 Posted January 29, 2020 Good marketing if he races in the UK on his own engines and puts in good performances. If his bikes are good and you are being beaten by him then you might just ask for his services. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted January 29, 2020 If its smolinski,,,, wooden spoon is ours,,,,, 7,56 average,,, some of that gained at reserve. All that says to me is desperation and no decent rider wants to race for Ipswich. Why didn't we snap up one of Swindons riders,,,, or another one of Pooles,,,,, surely a Kurtz, josh G or Ellis or another rider like that our within our budget,,, with our sponsor helping Sheffield get Pedersen. Best we move back down where we didn't have a problem attracting riders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spl77 337 Posted January 29, 2020 The worrying thing is other than Holder and Iversen I can't think of any rider who would fill the number 1 criteria. Hancock is the only other name but he I very much doubt would be interested and after a year out could be a risk. Other than that I'm struggling! If Nicholls had been factored in at the bottom end on his bargain average I wouldn't be so worried Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Hancock average is far too high for what we currently have left. Can see this happening every season,,,, which is why 3 or 4 riders can more or guarantee themselves a team spot for the foreseeable future Edited January 29, 2020 by Baldyman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any rider can be swayed by money I would have thought 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes he did, but article in Swindon Advertiser with Terry Russell implies Toruń don’t want him to ride in Uk and they are paying him a lot of money to get them back into top league. So I guess he has accepted their terms. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
