On a tight crappy track like Ipswich you can’t be riding like that. Doyle is a dangerous rider hope he tastes some air fence on Thursday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, honestly, the racing was crap... A whole straight between riders .. And I was there to watch the same last week... I am happy Ippo won, but it was rubbish to watch as a Speedway fan.. Steady's face did make up for a lot of that though... Each to their own, Doyle in heat 10 or 11 when beating Lambert was right on the edge, as fast as he could go, super gutsy & great to watch.

TTT 1,227 Posted October 3, 2023 Who actually struggled with the track tonight? Doyle, Emil and King were brilliant, Rew done well again, Riss got a solid 5 and he's been riding like that all season (Tailed off but picking up 3rd places), JT stayed upright although tailed off which is what he does in the Premiership. Picko had his best meeting ever around Foxhall, Young Edwards got stuck in all night and was impressive for his age, Lawson got what everyone thought he would get pre-meeting. Hume's performances was rider related rather than track related, Seen him take so many falls on BSN under no pressure. Lambo got bodied by two sublime riders in Doyle and Emil to a point where his ego couldn't take it. Howarth was dreadful in the KO Cup Final around Foxhall so his performance wasn't track related tonight. Holder is just mentally weak who's mentally beaten before the meetings start at track that's aren't Polish carpet rugs. Mountain isn't good around Foxhall, Ipswich would've stuck by him if he was. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The issue was that not many are Doyle and Emil's level, hence the track beat them.. Emil lifted a couple of times and almost ran over Doyle, but just controlled the bike as if nothing happened.. Pickering and King seemed to handle the grip also, but the rest simply were not capable of attacking it.. Hence, the racing as a spectacle suffered... Best of luck to Ippo on Thursday... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In any case two out of fourteen riders being able to handle the track isn't good enough. That was an awful speedway meeting, and we get far too many of those in this country. Oh come on it wasn’t just the two mate was it? Hume was the only Ipswich rider who struggled with it but he does most weeks. None of the other Ipswich boys struggled to get around.

TheScotsman 2,483 Posted October 3, 2023 What a gawd awful track. It looked smooth in heat 1 but just seemed to get bumpier and bumpier. Ippo deserved the win but I'm glad I'm too far away now to go there every week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
