tungate rode for ipswich year before last? league looks the strongest its looked this year in a very long time imo! tungsten quick on big fast tracks, often struggles on tighter tracks he has to turn the bike hard

Rate Vaculik highly, but he was outperformed by Jack Holder in the GP's last season and I really don't think he'd be on the level of Doyle/Emil in UK straight away, really hope Brum have got him tho would be another great asset for UK speedway in 2024!

He didn’t come over for a meeting due a supposed ankle injury meaning they got a facility for him, and then posted an instagram story of himself out for a trail run the next morning - he just didn’t fancy whatever right technical track he was supposed to be racing on that week. don’t sign a contract over here if your polish club aren’t on board either tbh, it’s unprofessional to sign a contract and then pick and choose when you come whether that’s you or the polish team dictating.

Me too, he demonstrated such a commitment to racing British speedway last season, tbh if I was Chris Louis I’d have chopped Emil in for him!!

Still when he has the speed woffy has the best track craft of anyone in gps to challenge zmarzlik, just hasn’t seemed to have the speed or gating gloves the last 3 years or so

Obviously it’s easy for me say it say watching from the armchair I know but just seemed such an obvious mistake he made multiple times

It was so frustrating this season watching lambert boss the heats and then choose gate 2 and give big guns gate 1 to just push him out of the way. Happened 3-4 times. I get he’d won races off two but if you’re backing yourself to make it off 2 just back yourself to make it off 1 and when you do you’ve got the advantage to push your opponents out like they kept doing to him.

He’s never had a legitimate interest in riding in the uk and he still doesn’t

What’s scores are a good reserve supposed to regularly score then? If a reserve is banging 9,10,11s regularly then they aren’t a reserve are they

Lovely lad, 100% commitment every race. Feel like at 26 Danyon has reached his level tho, which is a good middle order rider in the second tier and reserve in prem so for me the likes of Jenkins, flint etc would be more favourable moving forward given they’ve seemed to reached a similar levels/surpassed Danyon slightly when several years younger and more scope to continue progressing next year to even higher standard. This year if Erik had been fully back to his best and Danyon hadn’t fallen off twice in the home leg of the final in scoring positions we’d have been champions - Ellis should be a big upgrade on the Erik we saw this year and Jenkins a rider with more potential upside to grow to higher level than Danyon through the season so we’ve significantly improved our weakest two team spots in a team that came within a whisker of winning the lot this year!

I’d be happy to see Jenkins a witch in 24, made solid progress last year, nice kid with a good attitude! dunno if he’s still eligible for rising star or not has there been a list produced for the coming season yet that anyone has seen? I’ve not seen one on the website p.s Jordan wouldn’t like riding for Ipswich with Emil and Doyle at all, it would just super duper convenience with him being from Norwich and nothing else

Significant progress on the 6.02 finishing average from this season?

Ellis a decent signing in the middle of the team, should make a mockery of his starting average I’d think he’s decent at Foxhall

Ben cook over king? Really? he scored 5+3 riding reserve and 5+1, 4+2 riding at 4 and 2 in his Foxhall visits last year and his gsa only 1.05 less than king huge downgrade that for very little gain elsewhere in team building.

So you’ll take what he said 2 years ago as gospel but what he’s said this close season is all a line for the fans and he doesn’t mean a word of it yeah?

Yep, he doesn’t mince his words when he doesn’t like something does he! It’s clear how much he’s enjoyed the past two seasons

So when Doyle says he’s loves riding for Ipswich and it’s like a family what are you doing saying it’s rubbish and it’s just convenient?? That’s questioning the integrity of his word and I just can’t understand your rhetoric

So you’re questioning Doyle’s integrity then? As well as slagging off Ipswich as a club? For what?

If that’s the side I find it curious that cook was signed over wright or Brennan tbh

Stats don’t lie but I bet if you said that to their faces Emil would have his helmet on and be at the tapes ready to race in a flash!

Oooof I hope Emil doesn’t hear you say Doyle’s better than him around Foxhall!! 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

Typically Ipswich announce the team over the course of a week or so

For a reason

Finally someone talking sense on the forum hahahahah best idea of silly season yet!!!

I’d take a whole raft of young English lads before berge mate. dan t, edwards, rowe, flint to name a few Kye Thompson the Aussie lad all of them over berge. and we came within a whisker of winning everything in 23 with Erik riss scoring half of bugger all - Ellis or Brennan would be a huge upgrade on his scores home and away, rew is only going one way he showed that the end of the season form so there’s less pressure on the 6th rider than Hume this year and all of them would likely match what he did with the potential for a higher ceiling come the end of the season. just my opinion but I just can’t see berge being any good, his engines will be too strong and he’ll miss the bends just like bellego, just like Tungate and other continental throttle jockeys that have never shown they can turn the bike sufficiently to be effective scorers at foxhall
