We don’t know that what you’ve said is accurate either. Russian tennis players without any kind of dual nationality or citizenship elsewhere have been allowed to compete as individuals, except Wimbledon last year. But things may have changed? I bet they play Wimbledon this year! I suggest you have a read of this https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/06/28/bmay-j28.html Sounds like good news, they were allowed to compete in Arhletics but not under the Russian flag. Maybe I am wrong and he won't get any unwarranted flak from away fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyderd Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Great signing for Ippo and all true speedway fans in our leagues. Can't wait to see Doyle and Emil against Dan and Brady in heat's 13 and 15. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Assume Sayfutdinov is 8:00 so 4:27 for final rider, has to be above 4:00 for Rew to start at reserve. Batchelor retired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds85 Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 23rd March vs Peterborough... I'll be there that's for sure... Might need to open the full backstraight... Always loved Emil, he's such a brilliant rider and an all round nice guy, I really am so excited to see him in the uk... I guess I'm an honorary Ipswich fan this year then? Well done Chris Louis, you deserve a medal... And for those who are slating Emil for being Russian, get over yourselves... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone is slating him, love to see him ride, a big boost for British Speedway. I expect even Scotty Nicholls would enjoy seeing him ride over here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cheese Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Exciting signing for the league, credit to Ipswich for getting it done. Will be interesting though to see how much, if any, attention this gets in the media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishersGate Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Can't wait for march 30th now. Seeing Doyle and Emil line up against Fricke and Bomber is super exciting. Bring it on . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Eck Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 I never thought Ipswich would pull off the signing of Sayfutdinov. Well done to Chris Louis for getting this over the line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJWolves Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Hell of a signing for the Witches and Heats 13 and 15 look pretty strong! What average does Emil come in on and how many points are left for the final position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one of clubs Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Congrats on the signing of Emil, who is one of my favourite GP esque riders. This is a (pardon the pun) shot in the arm for British speedway, and Ipswich in particular. Could Emil's first ride this year be at BV in the PCMT perhaps?.

TTT Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) I wouldn't complain about Nationalities and stuff Under normal circumstances we wouldn't have had riders like Emil over here, So everyone who supports British Speedway should be excited and happy with this signing. We've all complained how weak the league has been over the past few years, 2023 is going to be the strongest league we've had in years which is only a good thing that will raise the profile of British Speedway again. I think everyone should forget about politics and just enjoy / savour every memory provided by an Elite level rider on track in 2023 because like us at Peterborough regarding Nicki, The chances of seeing Emil ride for your own team or riding in Britain period after this season would be very thin imo. Well done to Chris Louis who's worked tirelessly all winter, Must have been draining but he's got his man and nobody can doubt his commitment and determination for success.
