I think there is improvement in Emil personally. Averaged 10.10 in 2023, this year 9.12. He struggled with engines both here and in Poland and couldnāt get to the bottom of the issues until mid season. Finally got going and then it was normal service resumed. Because of that he dropped a point off his average. Thereās improvement there.

I doubt it personally, itās risky to do so when they havenāt had the AGM. Sounds as though theyāll be announcing a few though so weāll see.

Zach is better at Foxhall than Ben. And easily so. Zachās worst Foxhall performance ironically was when he guested FOR Ipswich. As an away rider, been generally good. So if the two meet in the play offs, Belle Vue will be stronger at Foxhall next year. Think Zach will soon get dialled in at the NSS too. Most do when they have that as their home track.

To be fair, we at Ipswich also like to help the weaker clubs where we can. Weāre releasing Adam Ellis so heās an option for the clubs lower down. Weāre good like that š

Donāt think it matters a great deal and thereās been nothing between them this season. Ellis 19 meetings GSA 5.90 King 17 meetings GSA 6.15 When you factor in that King rode the last third of the season struggling with his broken hand which saw him reject guest bookings and saw his average drop, but still finished with a slightly higher season average, is keeping Ellis over King wise? Appreciate some feel it just needs a parting of the ways, but one has to go to make room for Brennan and I donāt think it makes a huge difference scoring wise. Both would provide very similar scoring over the season for me. I think both have scope to improve their current averages, Kingās with the caveat though of sorting his problematic hand injury.

Thatās fine, Iām just not convinced on him at all. Letās wait and see.
-
Ellis maybe?
-
Not so sure. We were definitely the best team this year and comfortably so, but Ouch makes a valid point. We canāt ride the NSS for toffee so it would have been a close run thing I think. If we want to win it next year, we simply have to find more answers there.

Heās staying at Belle Vue.

Time will tell. Weāll see.

He hates it here.

Agree. You could always see it with Doyle even at an early age when he wasnāt particularly hitting the heights. Ruthless, determination, strong mindedness. As I said, you can just see it with some riders, not so much with others.
-
Mid 20ās when he started really moving. Take your point though. Sometimes you just see it in some riders, not so much in others.
-
Well this is it isnāt it, all about opinions. I personally donāt read anything in to averages attained elsewhere when it comes to UK racing. Doyle is immense here, less so in Poland. Heās done very well this year donāt get me wrong, but because of that I donāt see anymore improvement in him. In fact, I wouldnāt be surprised to see his average drop this year at Lynn with the pressures of riding in a heatleader berth. Maybe my opinion of him is blinkered slightly because heās always looked abysmal when heās come to Ipswich. Not an easy track for some riders granted. Youād have to think Mark Lemon doesnāt think thereās much improvement in him either otherwise heād have made more effort to keep him. Someone has to go sure, but there were other options.
-
Me too. Iām not convinced thereās any improvement left in Cook.

So is saying Rowe is currently āway in frontā based on the fact he gets rides in Poland. That in itself isnāt a yardstick to compare them which is what youāre doing. The only fair comparison is a comparison in which they compete in the same league. That is the ONLY way to compare where theyāre currently at. Look, I know itās absolutely desperate being a Lynn fan these days but trying desperately to claim some kind of small victory by claiming a rising star that rode for you this year (one that has already buggered off btw) is in a different stratosphere as a rival Rising star when it blatantly isnāt the case, is bizarre in the extreme. -
Not sure I agree with that one. Personally, Cook is as good as heāll ever get. Lidsey struggled early doors before regaining his form, so he for me is the much better bet on their current averages.

Ermolenko was a great rider for many years.

He didnāt at all. He didnāt receive any offer from Ipswich and isnāt likely to for the foreseeable future. Very difficult to turn down an offer that isnāt there.
