Agree

Pieszczek has a superb attitude as well, seems to constantly want to be learning, works hard. still think we’d be better off with Danny at 2, need a better gater in heat 1! pleased with 6 riders efforts tonight, the other one frankly was atrocious, truly truly shocking.

Just got caught in the downpour in kesgrave, if it hit the track as hard as I got wet that could be it! Hopefully no more will come through and all will be fine though fingers crossed

I think Bewley’s troubles at Foxhall have largely been fitness related rather than a dislike tbh - yes the opposition wasn’t to much in the u19 meeting but he looked absolutely superb all night that meeting - fit, full of confidence and fast - would’ve fancied him to score heavily riding that way in any meeting at Foxhall - that said he’s not fit at the moment either so probably would’ve struggled again! Morris very up at down at ippo and in poor form I might have gone with r/r personally

KP seems to regularly improve massively in second half of the meeting at Foxhall as the track changes - often pops out and wins ht13, so could see him picking up rides towards the end and could be very useful at this stage in close meetings

Can’t see an edit button anywhere? Maybe cos I’m on my phone and the mobile layout is somewhat simplified

Lol apologies guys I just put today’s date!! Brain fart.com is there a way to change it!?

https://ipswichwitches.co/ipswich-v-belle-vue-raceday-preview-2/ so another new riding order as KP heads to reserve and jake into the team 1 harris 2 heeps 3 king 4 allen 5 lawson 6 kennett 7 pieszczek personally i would have gone with lawson at 2, heeps 3 and danny at 5 but hey ho, i think all the boys have shown at different time they can score from most positions in the team - either way would like to see a vastly improved performance from bomber this week - 3+1 simply not enough despite those all being vital for the win last week. busk jakobsen in at reserve for belle vue - ironic given he essentially replaces wells his replacement at poole with Aarnio only riding a meeting or two given his recent injury woes! this could be a tough meeting with fricke and bjerre at the top end, worrall and bewley still very up and down in the engine room though! will bewley be fit to ride!? i'm confident of a home win, i'll say 50-40

danny has a piece on the star website this afternoon, explaining he's disappointed but also philosophical given this time last year he was wondering if he'd ever ride again let alone be challenging for the british title with his arm injury! he said it was a toss up between gate 2 and 3 but went with 2 as otherwise he'd have had both cook and wright underneath him, he said at the end of the day the gate position was immaterial he just didn't make a good enough start!!

I don’t think there’s too much odds between king or Lawson at 2/5 I think both are quite adept at popping out of the start in heat 1, but I’d be keen to keep Heeps/Allen together and pair them at 3/4 they’re the pair with the most chemistry on track and two most in form boys in my opinion

Yes, he’s quite frustrating at times, but also superb at times!! Perhaps think a bit of perseverance and another go next year and could become a really top rider on these shores - really and truly still very new to British speedway - took magic about 3 years to truly master it over here for example! Likely to be on around a 5 point something average too which isn’t too big a chunk!

Yeah for Howarth to get away with the jump in ht2 and king to be excluded in 3 we’re both pretty awful decisions from the ref, Howarth should’ve of course then had a warning from ht2 and excluded in his second attempt at cheating the start that was pulled back!! heeps good night allen good night lawson got better KP got a lot better - needs to start scoring from the start of meetings bomber really not good enough king up and down and wrongly excluded kennett must do better - still he’s looking more likely to score at home than bellego though. decent win another 3 points against a team of riders that ride Foxhall well, I said to my dad at the start I think we’ll win but they’ll get a point so a good prediction!! Thought the track was pretty decent today as well, especially given just how hot it’s been past couple of days

So we’re racing 8 tonight then....! 7 on the track and 1 in the refs box! Fantastic! 6 points from 2 rides to the ref thus far

Looking so so lovely and smooth as they bounce bounce bounce on the entry to the first and third bends in the above video of ht13 - better than it was but you’d have anyone believe it’s a billiard table!

Real shame we can’t have bomber there tonight he’s bang in form right now and while nicholls can go well at Poole he’s bang out of form!

As far as I’m aware his only visits to Foxhall on match days this far have been when Kings Lynn have visited, Kevin Long our mc is usually very adept at getting people for quick interviews between races and I’ve only heard from him on those nights, whereas speaks to both Louis and Hawkins most weeks at various stages.

If you look on the green sheets there’s a +5% column - this is an additional allowance for choosing a guest at your home track. The theory being most riders are stronger at home, so the average to replace Richie is up to 5.52.

I would think so his ankle was broken in 3 places, and an existing plate bent from previous break, so had surgery to repair/replace old plate plus new injuries required metalwork as well, would think with all of that it’s at least 6-8 weeks not weight bearing let alone getting on a speedway bike but I guess you never know with speedway riders!!!

When was Brady’s crash? It’s a minimum 9 days out for a concussion sometimes 14 straight from the off based on severity but concussions are taken far more seriously nowadays than in the past in all sports and rightly so, another far less severe bang to the head could be far more damaging

Feel so sorry for panthers fans - essentially all of my fears upon hearing the news buster had bought us out to take us up are being realised....just in Peterborough not ipswich. irrespective of how the witches finish this season (champions hopefully!!!) I sincerely hope this season has shown Chris Louis top flight speedway is viable in Ipswich and has been enough of a success for him to justify the risk activating his buy back clause and full ownership/control as no matter how successful we are this season, there’s simply no way of knowing it’ll work again next season and July 2020 we could have been 2019 champs and still finding ourselves in a similar buster shaped mess the panthers currently find themselves in. It’s a pretty sad state really pboro is the best track in country outside of now perhaps nss and if managed correctly with a decent side would/could be packed the rafters with fans every week

Same here taps but we’ve had the tac sub used against us in ht14 so nice to be on the other side of it for a change! disappointing one for Danny, the management keep saying all 7 will click on the same night and someone’s gonna get a walloping...the riders have obviously got together and made a pact to ensure they save that moment for the playoffs

Great result for the witches! Brilliant response after last Thursday! And once again a real team effort 6 of the 7 getting a win or paid win! Up the witches

Jack was superb last night, he had 6 rides and to be honest 4 of them are probably his best 4 races at Foxhall of his whole career to date, historically he’s not been great!

Fair assessment, ht1 was quickest of the season at 55.6 Danny’s TR is 55.5 so close to it for sure! Wasn’t surprised Danny was unhappy with jack shutting off before line in the manner he did - it’s dangerous and just unsporting frankly - Danny is about as mellow guy as you’ll meet so for him to get so enraged I think illustrates this!

By far and a way the best Wells has ridden at Foxhall in about 5 years, used to go well at ours regularly but in recent years has struggled - was very good last night
