I follow ipswich nearly everywhere, and missing the odd meeting isn't sad, it gives me the opportunity to something else with my friends that I very rarely see cos I'm normally watching ipswich.
I think it's more his upright straight back style. He looks like that at most tracks I've seen him at. A bit like Chris schramm, never looks like fully in control over the bike.
I think all those mentioned have gone backwards. Or have they just reached their level.
Heeps certainly needs away, as he rides better away from home anyway. Yes he has had a couple of injuries now, but haven't most riders. If you watch Heeps at a track like Peterborough he is much more suited to it.
