So, is he binning off one of his other clubs? I bet the DSF (Danish Speedway Forum) is going into meltdown... has anybody got a link?

"short term" 🤔

I don't think this has been discussed anywhere else on this forum but in terms of Dan Bewley's injuries, does anyone think there's a chance of him competing for GB at the end of August? If there's any outside chance that would be fab news and would certainly boost our chances immeasurably.

I remember hearing Kelvin say at the GP over the weekend that Doyley wouldn't mind coming back to the premiership - he's obvioiusly not going to be a direct replacement for Bewley but he does like the NSS, and he's an aussie so would fit in quite well with the team / management.

No idea on whether his average fits, I would assume so. Might even free up some room to replace another rider who's not performing as well as expected.

Just call me mystic Meg. 

If anyone needs any other predictions for the rest of the season I take bank transfer, PayPal and cash in hand 😂

Doyley and Brady in the same team. His 2 favourite riders 

You have this weird fascination about me disliking Kurtz

I guess reading isn’t your strong point because I said last season and this season that I wanted Kurtz to win the world title 

But I stand by the fact he let Belle Vue down in the play offs last season…. Yes he has a world championship to go for but he didn’t try at all for his club … something Bewley wouldn’t do and neither the new signing Doyle

I also mentioned his poor score at Sheffield this season as a pointer to the fact he has to step up a bit more this season now there is no Bewley … he has to get 12 or 13 most weeks minimum 

If you feel that those opinions mean I dislike him then you can run with that to suit your agenda 

If he is leading the world championship or in with a shout around the play offs and he still bangs in big scores then fair play …

hows @Gavan taken the news???

I’m absolutely delighted Doyle is back in British speedway we need the big names ….. and let’s be fair it could have been much worse…. He could have gone to Sheffield which would be unforgivable lol

Ipswich fans who are angry are just fools who have no idea about the sport …. All the uncertainty over the winter meant Doyle did what’s right for him ….. am I angry …. No… would I have liked him at Ipswich …. Absolutely

Fair point well made. Though I disagree with your point that he didn’t try at all for his club. Call me naive but I wouldn’t imagine any professional sportsman would have it in them to not try at the very least. Because with that mentality, they’d never make it to be a professional sportsman in the first place. Maybe the night in question that you’re referring to was an off night. Everybody has them now and again.

All depends on how riders like Blodorn Cook and Tate do away from home 

As much as I’m happy to see Doyle over here it definitely makes Belle Vue weaker than it did with Bewley so I don’t see why all of a sudden they are favourites 

Sheffield or Leicester for me

I get what you are saying and Ipswich is a gaters track and not a great track I agree … let’s be fair Kurtz is a great gater probably the worlds best … he didn’t make one start that night and showed absolutely no desire to try and mix it from third or fourth …. Not that our track lends itself to good racing 

I thought it was a poor effort … like you say maybe an off night but I honestly think he didn’t try that hard… i understand why I’m not that foolish but there are other riders (your own Bewley being one of them) who would have still tried maybe to no avail 

As I said id like to see Kurtz win the title

Decent signing for the Aces and good to see Doyle back in British speedway.
