Like everyone, just desperate for Emil to be back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blue witch 46 Posted November 23, 2023 That being said there's only 2 riders that did excite us and maybe Dan Thompson just before his injury Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great to see Doyle back at Foxhall he is surely one of the most exciting about - if he misses the gate watching him reel them in is highlight of the meeting for me.

He and Emil are a good mix. Doyle the better rider at Foxhall so helps the home form, Emil the better away rider so helps on the travels. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best pair I’ve seen in some few years now the commitment and trust they have in one other is incredible probably the best since darcy/holder hey day years at Poole. wouldn’t like to say who’s the best round Foxhall tbh, we said several times last year when they were really on it fully committed team riding in 13&15s we wouldn’t want to see them race against each other they’re both just too fast and committed to being top dog round Ipswich, it’s best they’re on the same side otherwise would end in tears Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TTT 1,229 Posted November 23, 2023 Doyle giving up Sweden to ride in the UK. Whether fans up and down the country like him or not, I'm sure everybody respects the loyalty Doyley has shown to our league throughout the years. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel Smith 5,666 Posted November 23, 2023 I'm not sure it's about "loyalty to British Speedway" with Doyle at all. He lives reasonably local & stated many times he wants more family time throughout the season. Riding for Ipswich gives him exactly that. Nothing more, nothing less. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
