Bagpuss 10,780 Posted September 4, 2018 It makes sense, if he was riding through the pain barrier and word had got through that Lynn had won at Wolves then it was sensible for Doyle to not aggravate his back further. Will be interesting to see if he rides tonight and tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedway28 171 Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) Pleased to see Connor put in a strong performance. Was very disappointed when Ipswich released Connor but it seems to have been a blessing in disguise for him, securing team places at Sheffield and Leicester. It's clear he never enjoyed riding the Ipswich track and being released enabled a fresh start. Should the league set ups stay the same, Connor should have Championship and Premiership speedway next year and make the move up from the National League, hopefully as a National League Riders Champion.

Gemini 4,894 Posted September 4, 2018 Very impressed with how Connor has improved this season riding for Coventry and lately Leicester. He has come on tremendously well and must be one of the few riders who rides the Beaumont Park track really well. Pleased he has now been signed as an asset for 2019. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having watched him at NL and PL levels he certainly looks a good prospect and hopefully, with opportunities at CL and PL will continue to develop. A good signing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skodaman 192 Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) Why did Margaret Vardy allow some riders to wear very pale yellow helmet covers when A they looked almost white under the lights and B they should be Black and yellow according to the rules.
