FAST GATER Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago 49 minutes ago, Witches1998 said: IPSWICH TRU7 GROUP WITCHES 2026 (in average order): Tom Brennan (Great Britain) 7.05 Richard Lawson (Great Britain) 6.83 Tobiasz Musielak (Poland) 6.63 Danny King – captain (Great Britain) 6.50 Scott Nicholls (Great Britain) 5.26 Philip Hellstrom-Bangs (Sweden) 4.50 Jason Edwards (Great Britain) Rising Star I think it's not a bad team at all, no superstars although I think Emil and Jason were not quite the riders they had once been .

I agree... looks fairly decent and should be solid at home. Personally I would like to see King step aside as skipper - having lifted the big one last season - and perhaps give Brennan the extra responsibility, he could thrive on it.

GeneralMelchett Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Good to have the clarity re the team etc, so the Witches have gone strength in depth this time - will enjoy it anyway - nice to see Tobi finally a Witch about 2-3 seasons after he asked for a team spot! He should be good to watch at Foxhall! Awesome Richard Lawson will be a solid and reliable rider too. I always said Scotty would come back to finish his career as a Witch! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like King remains as Captain. The “Club Officials” page has been updated today https://ipswichwitches.co/club/staff/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they both have bad smashes in 2025 I think as you get older those kind of things catch up with you more than if your in your teens or twenties.

89buttons Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Solid looking team all things considered, potential for average improvement in Brennan Musielak and hellstrom, if he drops to reserve Scotty will continue pick off easy points, Lawson and king will be solid and Edwards a good rising star 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago (edited) It's one of those teams that everyone has to be on it for it to win, and as we know from past experiences,, that doesn't happen as often as would like.. I see it winning 75 percent of home meetings and zero away, which to me means 5th, poss 4th at a push. Sorry for being negative towards this team, but that's just the way I see it What interests me the most is if there is going to be a new track man,, and how they prepare the track Edited 5 hours ago by Baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bash Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago No one predicted Peterborough to win it a few seasons ago, it only takes a few injuries to other teams (not that I want any riders to get injured) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his long term injury, meaning plenty of decent guests or RR covered by any of the team.. A perfect storm, season... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give them some credit, they rode really well as a team to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
