Personally I think this is the best move for all parties. He rides Leicester far better than Foxhall so I think it’s a much better signing for Leicester, then it would have been for Ipswich to retain him on his current average. Good luck to him he’s been great for us.

Hope so, i can see Zach really pushing on next season 

I said “wouldn’t” match, not couldn’t flagrag.  Good luck to the lad but he owes Chris Louis a great deal of gratitude for helping move his career on an upward trajectory after originally being dumped by Leicester in the first place.  There was little difference between the Thompson twins at the time Ipswich signed him. That gap is now as big as the Grand Canyon.

With Middlo saying today that both Cook Brothers will be back at Baillie House next season, I wonder if this indicates any changes in thinking - either from Club or Rider?

If I've calculated correctly SW would be on 6.64 next season, if he's fully committed I'd say thats a pretty attractive figure for somebody as a third heatleader or second string.

It’s not so much the pay that Leicester offered that Ipswich couldn’t match, It was a lucrative sponsorship deal that would allow Dan to invest in equipment and to hopefully progress his career further on the continent however it was only available if he rode for Leicester as company wanted to be able to watch him regularly at home
