Kurtz has always been handy at Ipswich tbh, always wanted to get him here in his early days when he was first over with Somerset in the second tier, of his generation of the top Aussies Kurtz/holder/fricke he’s always been comfortably the best at Ipswich as an away rider

Well after tonight’s result my Monday prediction before it got rained off doesn’t seem nearly as far fetched now!!

So those watching the tv replays who came third in that? Because from the back straight it looked like rew got third comfortably

If even this guy can see that how on earth can the ref not. fiddle gate 2023

Can’t use a rising star attached to a team

Agree, Rew will be back next year I’m sure, found his feet in the past few weeks should kick on next year

Uppa witches! Come on boys we’re not beat til we’re beat! Playoffs bomber here we go!! 47-43 on a wet track tonight king and bomber to show the youngsters how to get stuck into tough conditions! And we’ll beat em 49-41 for a 4 point agg score Thursday! witches wolves final likely to be the best tie for the neutrals no I’ve not been drinking, just delirious from a first 5am alarm after a week off work this morning haha

Emil Rew King Wojdylo Doyle 2 from: Thomas/Edwards/Jenkins/Dan T/Joe T/Boughen

Gutted for Doyley

Not knocking jack at all, was just weighing up how we might put together 42 points realistically, any points jack picks up along the way will be a big bonus! Good to hear he’s beaten Bailey round there recently, I’m wary the pressure of top league speedway might affect him fairly tho

Another 48-42 first leg loss will do nicely! Emil 12 danyon 4 danny 8 erik 3 doyle 10 kenny 5 smith 0 42 when you piece it together like this doesn’t look that unrealistic if everyone rides like they did in ko cup final!

Who says the witches are going to be 6 behind in either leg at any point anyways hehe

They had some still in the track shop at Foxhall last night so possibly there next week

Class act on and off the track, hope he’s riding for the witches for years to come

We got 41 last visit a month back and Doyle only got 5 that night so it’s very doable to keep it close again, wright a big imo, in great form and when you lose the 4th average in the team r/r always hard because 3 of the 4 rides are taken by weaker riders

Chris hasn’t been the same rider since darcy’s injury no doubt and can’t blame him to be deeply affected either really given how close they are, he’s had his fair share of pretty frightening crashes and subsequent injuries too tbf

Ride it hard then! Simples! Can’t understand why he’s come back to uk racing if he’s just gonna moan about the uk tracks

You always slag Foxhall off when it’s on tv, not a single Ipswich rider struggled with the track tonight, accept maybe joe Thompson but he’s much less experienced. But he attacked it every time he was out and did superb in heat 2. ipswich is always a grippy track, it’s prepared that way every week, the home riders are used to it, it’s called home track advantage

Good team performance, all the boys battled hard and fought to the end for the points, good hating gloves from king and did well to hold off holder in his last one, have to feel like 6 points is more than doable but no room for complacency Thursday. Does anyone know if fricke guesting again Thursday or someone else? Max better at Foxhall than he showed tonight but Emil and Doyle will be much better too

Joke that the ref pulled heat 8 back howarth had done himself

Wojdylo was a 5.00 this season so don’t think he’d be 4 next!

Big fan of tarasenko, think wojdylo was only a 28 day visa as it was rushed through - he stated on tv coverage he wanted to do a full year in uk next season. Said his favourite tracks are small fast and grippy so Ipswich fits the bill perfect! I get what you mean about the type of rider - at personally think the Frenchman is rubbish haha

Not for me, even when his home track was belle vue or Sheffield he blew way too hot and cold and inevitably went missing in big meetings. Think there’s an enough data on the likes of berge and bellego to just say they’re never going to show a consistent upside. much rather set about getting wojdylo signed up double lively for a similar/same average

Bit harsh, they put together a great run of wins to finish the regular fixtures. irrespective of whether it was us that got in the playoffs or not I’m glad leicester have ended up with egg in their face for what they did to bomber tbh.

It’s not just about age but experience, cook for example in his 3rd year in uk speedway, if rew is only a 4.8 rider in 3 years I’d be very surprised. in terms of the best young Aussie tag he is the current Aussie u21 champ - surely a good metric for that claim. currently 2nd in the sgp2 standings also
