TonyE Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Not a bad meeting for early season and object lesson in how to run an efficient 15 heats - 7.45 start and all over by 9.05 - impressive. Very good view from well up in the back straight grandstand but I do wish the track lighting was better - difficult to determine who is who around the bends (particularly bends 3 and 4) and, again from the same standpoint, the start area is rather dim. Really good race between Cam and Max. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ippo by 6-8 points for me. Ippo's reserves 17.....Belle Vue's 1......I rest my case, although I did expect our reserves to do better.

ouch Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 When your second heat leader and four point reserve score zero between then, you are always going to be up against it. Given that one had his collarbone screwed together just a few weeks ago and the other is coming back from well documented major injuries it comes as no surprise. Any opinion to the contrary if frankly baffling. Luckily titles are not won in April and I’m sure later in the season we could expect a modest 12 points from these two to make things a little tighter come heat 15. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bewley has never looked comfortable at Foxhall but last night was a shock even given that It was a great shame to see him struggle so poorly even though it benefitted the Witches I genuinely hope he can get back to full fitness and start showing the rapid improvement he was making before his crash and soon Whilst Lidsey didnt look like troubling the scorers last night it was still apparent that there is talent there from his general style and in the way he learned from each ride Belle Vue will be in the mix no doubt about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.V 72 Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 You might well smile spiderman but if my teams top 5 only scored 19 points between them at Kings lynn I would be a lot more worried about my teams away form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will happen quite often I fear. We’ll pick up the odd point here and there but I’d be very surprised if we win an away meeting all season. The team has good home riders in it though and a good home season will suffice for our first season back in the top flight. On Belle Vue, I fully expect them to be much better next time around and it’ll be a tighter meeting I expect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lidsey will no doubt improve throughout the season - I have to say in the off season lots of people on here seemed to regard berge as a trump card at reserve and wanted him in their teams....can’t say I’ve ever really rated him at all - mostly seen him at Foxhall where he’s always been poor, and a couple of times at Sheffield which again been very inconsistent. So imo your reserves did what I expected last night - Lidsey improved every race looks a fast learner he’ll do better on his next Foxhall visit Cant really see why bewley is riding at 3 away from home currently, surely would make more sense to put Worrall at 3 which would take a bit of pressure off of wells who also seems to be struggling early season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestGorton1884 Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Strange to read 'some' Ipswich fans completely ignoring the fact its only Dan Bewley's 3rd competitive outing Since sustaining serious injuries ?, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxhall isnt his favourite place anyway We were written off at the start and its nice to prove the doubters wrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 The wide open spaces of Belle Vue and Petebrough are a lot different to Foxhall. Bewley struggled on the tight grippy circuit.. but great to see him back on a bike again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play offs here we come We will beat you when we come back later in the season. Dan is still finding his fitness and Jamion has never seen the place. The first half of the season on the road is about developing and then taking the away points on 2nd visits. I have every confidence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over a season I fully expect Ipswich to be propping the table up and BV comfortably in the play offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's odd that people formulate such an opinion, not sure how you have arrived at it but each to their own. Titles and play off qualification are not earned in April, even less so in a first away meeting. Well done to Ipswich, a much better team on the night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
