Done it before but can’t see it happening again with 6 riders . Belle Vue Aces = 55 (104) 1. Dan Bewley - 3, 3, 3, 1 = 10 2. Tom Brennan - 0, 1, 3, 1 = 5 3. Jaimon Lidsey - 3, 3, 0, 3, 3 = 12 4. Charles Wright - 2', 1, 1, 3 = 7+1 5. Brady Kurtz - 2, 3, 3, 3, 2' = 13+1 6. Norick Blodorn - 3, 1, 1, 2' = 7+1 7. Jake Mulford - 0, 1', 0, 0= 1+1 Ipswich Witches = 35 (76) 1. Jason Doyle - 2, 2, 2', 2, 0, 1= 9+1 2. Ben Barker - 1', 0, 2, 0 = 3+1 3. Danny King - 0, 0, 2, 1= 3 4. Keynan Rew - 1, 2, 0, 2, 0= 5 5. Emil Sayfutdinov - 3, 2, 3, 2= 10 6. Danyon Hume - 2, 0, 0= 2 7. Joe Thompson - 1', 0, 1', 1' = 3+3

Has there been a pass after the back straight?

Eurosport showing line decision from 3rd lap lol

All those saying Belle Vue wouldn’t miss Wright and Ipswich would miss Doyle. Harris unbeaten and 0 for Wright.

It’s some bizarre tradition, done it since I been going there in late 90s

Smith to withdraw and Rew take rest of rides probably

Yes but for example Brennan can beat Smith and Hume in heat 8.

I wouldn't use Lidsey in heat 8, against Hume, Smith & Bailey is a waste. I'd use him in heat 5 against King & Riss or Heat 11 against Harris & Rew.

Yes it was on BSN I remember as watched it.

They managed to sort this in May, tomorrow won’t be an issue especially with Phil Morris and Eurosport there watching. https://x.com/ipswichspeedway/status/1657056792608747520?s=46&t=dIBO1b0Z20UuRPqs9f-4pg

Confirmed next Monday from Belle Vue will be live on Eurosport with reports from Wolverhampton.

Very heavy shower now, pouring down.

It was Belle Vue choice to have 1st leg first, it was announced before Ipswich were known to be opponents. Typically if they had chosen 2nd leg at home like usual, would have been fine at Ipswich tonight and Thursday looks fine in Manchester.

Could be, but if look at map it’s so borderline, all takes is wind direction to change slightly.

The heavy rain from this morning has now stopped, it was very heavy and prolonged. Looks like will be dry for an hour now then more rain around 2pm. Then dry for few hours but the concern now is the showers around 7pm are now more clustered together and intense, it’s changed from 50% chance to 80% chance.

Just started raining now, it will rain solidly now till about 1pm then sporadic scattered showers rest of the day.

Chris Harris is the guest BELLE VUE: 1. Brady Kurtz 8.33 © 2. Tom Brennan 6.16 3. Jaimon Lidsey 7.82 4. R/R for Charles Wright 6.55 5. Dan Bewley 8.00 6. Ben Cook (G) 5.80 7. Connor Bailey (RS). Team Manager: Mark Lemon IPSWICH: 1. Emil Sayfutdinov 10.14 2. Erik Riss 5.03 3. Danny King 7.03 © 4. Danyon Hume 4.00 5. Chris Harris (G) 9.21 6. Keynan Rew 4.00 7. Jack Smith (G) (RS). Team Manager: Ritchie Hawkins

Bailey posted on Friday he was practising on them at Tarnow, had Woffinden's mechanics too.

Would have been a massacre at Ipswich with R/R he was only one to win heats for them.

He’s sat 5 rows in front of us on plane. Was walking very slowly and looks bit dazed, face is a mess.

Because the rule book has since been changed for 2023, last year it said replacements allowed for long term injuries (which Fricke was) that line been removed this year due to all the crying.

Rules did apply in 2022 and since been changed for 2023.

That would be my prediction

Depends if he already been booked for Sheffield as can’t guest for multiple playoff teams

I think the opposite actually, he will be determined as he was frustrated that wasn’t given the rising star position at the start of the season and when Jake Mulford was injured.
