Ipswich 2018


Recommended Posts

Simple solution... make both reserve berths only for British riders under 21 in the Championship. They stay there all year regardless of averages. If an injury occurs to a reserve like with Hume then another rider replaces them that meets the criteria. No longer would you get the likes of Garcia or Jensen being at reserve when they shouldn't be.....if they food enough then they should be in the 1-5

Will he though at Ipswich do you guarantee that he has a three year saving grace time of learning his trade will he get the support like Bickley has at Worky.?

an unequivocal YES

Id say Connor has had a fair go and I think it is with some reluctance that the decision has been made. 

The play offs this year are at best an outside chance and if we are to miss out then the next priority must be to enhance home results to maintain the home crowd

This is why Garcia is seen as a better option as Connors home average is only 2.50 (away is 4) (Danyon is the opposite - home 4.5 away 1.5) With Danyon out and only 2 point replacement possible I can understand why the balance needed to be addressed (or at least attempt to address)

Had Danyon scored just 4 more points from the 77 rides in his rolling average then Garcia could've been a direct like for like replacement - that's how tight the difference is between having to make the change this way

Connor is indeed unfortunate in many ways and I endorse that we should 'back the Brits' but that needs to be a league directive and whilst that is not the rule changes such as this have to be considered

Great news signing Kemp hopefully the experience will hold him in good stead for a full season with the Witches next year. One question is have we seen the last of Hartel or will he be back next year? 

Hopefully we’ll see him again, and Jeppesen, in the 16 lapper possibly.

Do you really think this team will maintain the home crowd, wouldn't be surprised if the crowd was down on Thursday.

I felt Danyon at home without his falls would be averaging 5.20/5.60 ? if he was not injured would he of still got the nod over Connor.?.The changes for me though have covered over the cracks of not getting the top five right they should of been able to carry the two Brits end of and these changes won't amount to much.

Riss has had some reasonably impressive outings at Foxhall and Garcia looked competitive on his recent visit. Both can be entertaining.

That combination improves the chances of a home win and provides a chance of some entertainment which will be what the majority want to be persuaded to turn up the next week. 90% 0f fans don't give 2 hoots what happens away

Riss wasn't that good when Edinburgh were here earlier in the season. He was easily beaten in his first ride, and won against a half fit Danny who then withdrew from the meeting. He didn't trouble the scorers after that. As people have said he was dropped for a reason by Edinburgh.

With regards to Wallinger he has a NL average of 5.64, not exactly tearing it up and doesn't appear in any of the team line-ups. Agree there are better options out there, someone mentioned Ryan Kinsley who has an average of 9.68 better than Danyon.

if workington had any fixtures before the next set of averages came out . rasmus jensen would not be at reserve for workington . in his place would be RENE BACH . . work that one out. from number 1 to reserve . but after the next set it could be jensen or campton . 

i agree , brits should be given a chance @ reserve , but the steve boxall guy ruined that joy for rye house and the bspa I (them again ) made him move into the 1 to 5 !

The best solution would be for the average for an overseas rider not failing below his assessed. So if a rider comes in on a 5.00 at the start of the season but is only averaging 3.0 he keeps the 5.00 until which time he averages over 5.00. If he ends the season as a 3 point rider he would keep his assessed average of 5 for the following season. That should stop promoter's going down the overseas route unless they are a true talent.

That does happen to an extent - although it is not the full assessed average that is retained

The average cannot drop below 4
