Kye Thomson 4 rides 1 point Matej Zagar 4 rides 1 point Both out scored by the reserves Missed an obvious tab sub in 11 Batch takes some stick, much of it deserved, but he was more on the pace tonight than either Zagar or Thomson. The Foxes may as well give an ai bot the job it'd probably show more emotion during their team talks and interviews and would certainly be more tactically astute 🤖 Stewart Dickson gets so much more out a bunch of bang average riders than Chris Adams does. Why on earth they went for and have stuck with Adams is quite beyond me, Havvy or Rosco offer so much more.

Gavan Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Yawn fest because one team so much better on their track If you want to see close racing try Ipswich v Northampton or Leicester v Northampton where the racing would be closer and require all round skills 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong the Belle Vue track is by a mile the best track in the uk nothing comes close Just that sometimes it’s just as good watching at other tracks that require different sets of skills Our track at Ipswich is shocking this season and to be fair it’s never been that good …. But watching riders like Doyle and Emil miss the gate at Ipswich and then pick their way through is to me just as classy as seeing someone just stick it in the dirt and fly by Saw an interview with Todd Wiltshire and he said he would have loved the Belle Vue track and his favourite to ride was Bradford … then when asked about the skill of riding Bradford he said that was nothing compared to the skills of Darcy Ward , Mark Loram and Andrew Silver riding at Arena Essex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phannan Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago It’s not up to Belle vue to lower their standards to make for competitive racing. More the other teams to at least try and make it entertaining for the paying public. These teams and their riders need to try that bit harder when they visit the home of speedway. Bit like Kurtz at the reigning champions Ipswich apparently. Who by the way are making a complete boll*x of defending their title. No wonder doyley gave them a wide berth on his return 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles behind all night pops out the start and wins it by a mile. Luckily we got to see Kurtz pass everyone in heat 13 when he missed the gate though to make up for others only gating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder doyley gave them a wide berth on his return Try that bit harder is a daft but expectrd comment Belle Vue have built a team that are so good at home (the correct thing to do) that really over 2 legs they should beat everyone Nice of you to notice that we aren’t as good as last season but still in with a chance of the play offs ….. you know what they are as whenever you have come up against Ipswich in those you do get beat … luckily for you we was in the other semi in 2024 Very hard to defend a title as you will know after limping into 4th last season after winning it in 2024…. Think maybe Ipswich might limp into 4th this season after winning it in 2025… seems both our clubs are the same but at least in 2025 you didn’t lose your owner and nearly lose your club and where able to keep your top riders and not have to build almost from scratch but still you struggled Oh and regards Doyle it’s always wise to check facts before posting …. He asked Paul Hurry about riding for Ipswich the weekend of the Manchester GP…. Hurry declined saying he would have to release 3 riders to do that ….call that stupid yes possibly …. But to say Doyle gave us a wide berth is just made up by yourself but hey if you feel better go for it Personally I think it’s great Doyle is back … also means over 2 legs Belle Vue will beat the weakest Ipswich team in years over 2 legs now You will/should win the league unless Sheffield can get a superstar replacement for Holder … Will be a huge choke if you don’t (unless of course Kurtz, who I want to win the title) has an important GP the weekend after the final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
