Baldyman Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Maybe he is in the team because they really cant get anyone else,,, who's to say we haven't asked Kemp for example,, and he's said no thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Anders is the best option, will likely say yes as is already racing for Poole and looked a consistent reserve when guesting for Belle Vue. Drew Kemp is obviously good and has been doing well in Poland but he might/already has said no. Connor Bailey is possible and has had some improved championship performances recently but doesn't have the talent of the other 2 yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could well be the case, seems strange on Drew’s part tho to turn down a team place if so. Surely at his stage of career you want/need to be on the bike as much as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Anders, he is still not 100% recovered from his shoulder/collar bone injury - Only took 3 rides for Poole on Wednesday as it was giving him some grief. Not sure he would be upto Premiership racing at the moment, but who can tell - we know what riders are like!!!!

Maybe holding out for a proper team place somewhere where he can negotiate money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this unlikely the Polish 3rd division is probably just above championship quality (top riders being Kildemand, Thorsell and Douglas) so he'd want to ride in the premiership as its a better quality. I can understand why he'd reject a championship side if it wasn't the right amount of money. Drew scored 9 yesterday and 9+1 a couple of weeks ago in Poland. Average is 6.8 ish, he will be better than Joe me thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kemp turned down a team spot, he was very foolish imo. There's not enough clubs in the Premiership to pick & choose from, if he had the chance, should've taken it.

His average issues would have been for a Championship place ... it's often riders in the 5-6 bracket that get squeezed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy cookie returns? Posted May 9, 2023 Report Share Posted May 9, 2023 Something has gone very wrong with the Kemp Ipswich relationship……he was the bright homegrown hope & now nowhere to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
