topaz325 1,859 Posted September 25, 2023 Hopefully Connor Bailey will score well tonight he was fast at Glasgow on Saturday passing Tarasenko in his first race. Hope Belle vue keep it close and fight till the end , war of attrition this time of year with multiple fixtures, injuries and rider fatigue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,278 Posted September 25, 2023 4 hours ago, Aries said: Possibly, although a team with a top two of Doyle and Sayfutdinov should never be surrendering an 18 point lead really no matter how good Belle Vue are at home. If Those two do their jobs, the other five need to produce very little between them for Ipswich to progress. Their ten rides should easily yield 23 points as a minimum so just 14 needed from the rest... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPEEDY69 1,260 Posted September 25, 2023 Ipswich won by 18 at Foxhall so no reason why the Aces can't do that tonight - don't think R/R will hamper them too much, their reserves perform well at home. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree in principle but meetings are not won and lost based on averages / assumptions based on how good x or y is! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben91 1,743 Posted September 25, 2023 This will depend massively on what Doyle does. Hasn’t been great around the NSS this season and could have a hangover from that nasty crash last weekend still. If he’s on song it’ll take a big performance from Belle Vue to take the aggregate win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, and as I mentioned in a previous post, the vast majority of injuries have come on foreign soil. Only Woffy's injury has come on home soil and even that was a GP round and not a Premier/Championship League meeting. Faster tracks abroad with more pressure = greater risk of injury?

Wright has never been that great at Foxhall - yes, he beat our reserves and Riss there this year, not many riders didn't! He had one victory over Emil when Emil made a shocking gate and was in last and took a while to get past Brennan. Ipswich are stronger now than they were earlier in the year. As always, meetings are not won on paper and I'm really looking forwards to see how tonight pans out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bald Bloke 3,287 Posted September 25, 2023 You never know with speedway. JD, Emil and King should get 27.. Leaves 10 points from Hume, Riss, Rew and Smith. I'm going for 52-38. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
