Initially, at any rate, we can use riders such as Leon Flint and Dan Thompson as guests. Im sure it used to be that a team couldn't have a guest for a rider that hadn't made an appearance - but I can't see anything in the Regs ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it was as well and still should be. Could sort of understand it if it was a broken collarbone or something, but the poor lad looks to be and for his own good should be out for the season, with riders available it can't be right to start with guests. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only assume it’s kemp or Rowe Considering Jack Thomas was in both Poole and Ipswich teams, I do wonder if Ipswich do get Rowe or Kemp, they will also double up with Poole as well, as will help with race sharpness level needed to do well in the Prem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gasser90 Posted March 9, 2023 Report Share Posted March 9, 2023 I’m not sure who else is in the rising star list. Maybe Conor Bailey or the thompson twin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is 0% whatsoever a legitimate reason for Ipswich to be allowed a guest when there are plenty of RS options available. That said this being Speedway - you never know lol! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89buttons Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 Zero point not bringing someone in so we have a settled 1-7 from the start. Jacks road to recovery is going to be a long one, when he’s fit the situation can be assessed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Kemp or Rowe will be fine,,, there must be weaker RS riders being used,, if not weaker then new to tracks with less experience 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will both be very good at home but struggle away IMO, probably the same for most of them to be fair.
