Initially, at any rate, we can use riders such as Leon Flint and Dan Thompson as guests. That can't possibly be allowed though, guests are something we want far less of and there is/has been plenty of time to sign a replacement before the season starts. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im sure it used to be that a team couldn't have a guest for a rider that hadn't made an appearance - but I can't see anything in the Regs ... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure it was as well and still should be. Could sort of understand it if it was a broken collarbone or something, but the poor lad looks to be and for his own good should be out for the season, with riders available it can't be right to start with guests. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can only assume it’s kemp or Rowe Considering Jack Thomas was in both Poole and Ipswich teams, I do wonder if Ipswich do get Rowe or Kemp, they will also double up with Poole as well, as will help with race sharpness level needed to do well in the Prem. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gasser90 229 Posted March 9, 2023 I’m not sure who else is in the rising star list. Maybe Conor Bailey or the thompson twin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is 0% whatsoever a legitimate reason for Ipswich to be allowed a guest when there are plenty of RS options available. That said this being Speedway - you never know lol! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
89buttons 761 Posted March 10, 2023 Zero point not bringing someone in so we have a settled 1-7 from the start. Jacks road to recovery is going to be a long one, when he’s fit the situation can be assessed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted March 11, 2023 Kemp or Rowe will be fine,,, there must be weaker RS riders being used,, if not weaker then new to tracks with less experience 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
