Hopefully all will be revealed shortly We will see. But it has been discussed in various Polish articles over the winter that Emil, Artem and Kudriaszow (unfortunately now retired) would only be granted permission to race in Poland due to having citizenship there as Poles. For the FIM to backtrack on their previous stance re the banning of Russians would be surprising to say the least. Are you saying something has changed?

Every sport will backtrack on the banning of Russian athletes eventually, Just a case of when and not if it happens imo. Can't ban Russian sportsmen for the next 5 years just because of Politics.

But I'm asking only because I follow this pretty closely and haven't heard or seen any evidence to suggest it's going to happen any time soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think fans of every club should be happy tbh. Our league hasn't been held in high regard around Europe for a while now, Getting as many big names back as possible will only help British Speedway re-build it's image. Attendances will improve, More people will buy streaming passes, Better product for the fans, More sponsorship chances should open up as well. About time we took our rightful place on the Speedway ladder again by being referred too as the second best league in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand the scepticism because this has been going on for months now and here we are approaching March and we’re still doing it but the chap seems sincere to me. It’s a bit like Mr Blobby the Edinburgh fella who hardly ever comes on the Premiership section who came on here and said Ipswich had signed Keynan Rew. A fortnight later Ipswich announced Rew as their latest signing so there’s no doubt people do get genuine information and it’s not all “rumour” and mischief making although I appreciate you get some of that as well!

Falcon1983 Posted February 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 It would be class to see Emil line up alongside Doyle, heats 13 and 15 will decent, still would leave me worried at Reserve though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin king Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 If Ipswich have managed to get Emil signed then it can not only good for Ipswich but good for the league as well. I would question how race fit Emil is and I think that you have to remember that he has not raced for over 12 months. As for his average I would imagine that he will come on on an 8.00 average, which will leave Ipswich with around 4.27 for the final rider. Who will be that final rider? My guess is Cameron Heeps whose average is 4.18. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
