Ipswich 2014


Recommended Posts

i live in the middle of Kings Lynn, Mildenhall and Ipswich and try to get to as many meetings as possible. Looking at the EADT just before the playoffs there was an interview that featured Gino and I think Morten. One of them suggested that recently the pressure had been getting to "the younger members" of the team.

 

Nice to see that both Heeps and Ellis were at the forefront of Ipswich's efforts when the real pressure was on. ( unlike some others) hopefully CL will bear this in mind when chasing riders for 2015

Taken from Fozz's tweet just now:

 

Rohan Tungate - Rider of the Year

 

2 for Ritchie Hawkins and 1 for Gino Manzares (not sure what they won, it's usually Bonus points leader, Most entertaining rider and best up and coming rider, or something like that!!)

 

Must say Ritchie Hawkins was my man of the season.

A little surprised to see Rohan named rider of the year. Thought Gino would take it or perhaps captain Ritchie.

Well I agree with 2 of those, and one of those is a statistical, so have to. Apart from the bonus points award are all the others voted for by fans? And do you have to attend the end of season dinner to vote?

Voted for by Supporters club members, and no it's done the last few weeks of the season.

I wonder how many members there are? A Freedom Of Information request needs to be made :)

 

Based on the meetings I attended, I would have chosen Manzares for all three awardable titles.

Presumably you weren't there on the weeks he was snapping primary chains, over riding and smashing his head against the track?

So are the awards only based on the last month?

yeah at Ipswich we have awards play offs so despite being top in the regular season Gino went out in the semis! wink
