Should have a Grand Prix here at foxhall. This is the same “gate and go” as people mention for us 😜 Zmarzlik only one really looking like he would force a move on someone.

All four back with nobody near him? I doubt that.

What was the random drone shot of going upside down haha. Missing lambert overtake and focussing on fricke and madsen who checked out. Oh dear. They are trying to switch to too many angles in one race, I just wanna see all four riders in each shot so I can choose who to focus on!

The last paragraph is far to true, to invest in YOUR team and then watch the same riders guest for someone else and help them is so backwards for a competitive sport. And I get it, riders need to make a living and all that jazz, it just doesn’t sit right with me. Nothing against kings Lynn, but I’m an Ipswich fan and to watch some witches riders guest for Lynn was weird. Imagine a Norwich player getting injured so town loan them a player to help out! It’s another reason why I don’t like the averages (but fully understand why for competitiveness), you build a team over years which you feel is yours then have to break it up just because you’re too good.

Is this worth the travelling from Ipswich with such a depleted side. Tough decision!

That’s so true though to be fair, as a PROMOTER surely you have to be good at promoting the sport as well as just your team. How much can it cost to even put signs around each city about the local meetings taking place. In Gorzów, before every meeting they have the Stał flags waving on all the buses and signs on every main entry route into the city. That doesn’t really take that much planning does it?

Aggravated his reoccurring injury according to his social media. 2024 Ipswich witches returning by the looks of it ! R/R/R/R + guests !

I think it’s the wise move right now, if he rode and only got a few points but made the injury worse again it wouldn’t be worth it. Rebuild and go again, I wouldn’t be over ally concerned if he missed the cup matches as well to give more time to recovery. Surely the focus is the league this year for witches.

I always stated the track was fine to ride inside and outside, you spoke about the outside not working, and not everyone agreed with you. I said it is the dumbest thing I've seen on here, but if you want to take it as you got called a dumbass... I guess if the shoe fits!

Agreed. The main thing is that he comes back fit and healthy, I saw reports this morning in Poland from the president of Częstochowa that Doyle complained of the same hip giving pain after the crash and also that Doyle himself asked to race as he felt no pain before the meeting, although the team said it might not be wise, but they let the rider decide. Either way it’s done now, just another road to recovery! Anyone heard news on Thompson as he is a big miss for us???

All the riders would be in the country? I doubt that when a hand full of them rode in Poland today.

I came up with the same conclusion as the referee so I’d be good at it plus nie lubię Falubaz. Tylko Gorzów Stal KS. If anyone thinks Doyle would purposely stay on a line where he’d get wiped out after still suffering injury then bigger fool them.

If you jam it up the inside of anyone and wipe them out in doing so then you are the reason for the accident.

Nope. IMO Doyle held a fair line which was tight and the room wasn’t there for Jensen, he just about got in front but he hit Doyle, so clearly he didn’t have enough room or he would have made the pass clean. Doyle had the racing line and Jensen was so tight he was always going to slightly drift.

Jensen was at fault by staying inside line then pushing into Doyle when he got into the slide, Doyle had nowhere to go. Waved to the crowd as getting into the ambulance but yet another set back.

Pressure from Częstochowa I’m sure which is seeing him return in a few minutes to ride tonight. I’m sure another week or so would have done him good. As long as he doesn’t come out with any longer term injuries by coming back to soon, obviously the amount of money he can earn per point I’m sure is luring him back as well.

Question. How can a picture show if people were using the outside line? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve seen for a while… I was there and Ellis and howarth used the outside pretty well to pass people I’d say! But then again, I might be wrong because you can see a photo of one corner so who knows ?

Don’t shoot the messenger, but this in Poland today: However, everything indicates that Jason Doyle will return to competition sooner than expected. On Thursday evening on the X service, Eurosport commentator Michał Korościel reported that it is almost certain that the Australian will start in the upcoming round of the Speedway Grand Prix. It will take place on May 31 on the track in Prague. It will be exactly two weeks since Doyle's fall in Warsaw, which is full of admiration.

There wasn’t a blue groove, just lions were better full stop. They gated better and we couldn’t cope, Ellis made the pass of the night and howarth did something similar so the outside was working but people were overcooking it and losing speed on the exit of bend 4. Brennan wasn’t on it tonight and Hume could never fill Thompsons void. Thompson is a bigger miss than Doyle as this point in the league IMO. He beats his opposite number by a large margin and can take on some of the big boys, with Thompson we could have covered RR a lot better.

I get what you mean, but for me it’s all about finishing as high as possible, I don’t wanna be travelling up to Sheffield or Belle Vue in the final last leg, you want to hold the trophy with your home fans and celebrate in Foxhall!

It might be an old promo poster but he is still in the line up and he posted in the day he flew back to England (Tuesday) which would show he is promoting it still. And Rew posted the same poster yesterday (Wed) with Doyle listed as riding. I’m not saying he will ride, but knowing him, he won’t want to be on the side lines long as this is his last chance for SGP and Manchester is a week after the test match, maybe he is hoping to still ride in it? Who knows, only thought I’d share the info… I’m not saying he is or isn’t riding in it.

Interesting that Doyle still is promoting the Poland Vs Rest of World meeting on 7th of June on his social media and he is still registered to take rides in it…

Take a bow Jenkins! Great evening. Well done lads, hard fought match, got the points and onto the next.

And we had bike failures

Jenkins racking up the points but all the boys showing spirit and determination! Great to see the heads haven’t gone down due to the injuries!
