It rained overnight but stopped about 8ish, however it’s not really drying up. It’s currently cloudy and I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some showers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway fans amaze me, not every rider can score 15 point maximums every meeting so in a sport where riders must score 3,2,1,0 you are going to have a lot of different riders at different levels. Jake Allen - injury prone? Isn't injury prone where a rider is regularly on the sidelines or has multiple injuries season in season out? he struggled last season with a broken scaphoid, one of the worst injuries to have while operating a speedway bike, his average as a result suffered as he is not allowed to work in the UK, he only has a racing VISA, so if you were in this position you'd ride injured to try and earn some money? Inconsistent? Prem Average Champ Average 2022 n/a 6.3 2021 4.8 7.72 2019 5.56 7.33 2018 4.59 7.37 2017 4.99 7.45 2016 n/a 5.96 Championship average slightly up and down between 2017 - 2021, again 2022 season with injury saw an average drop. As for Premiership, between 2017-2019 wasn't bad, 2021 was a difficult season and last season didn't really have a proper team place Why do "some" rate him? like most speedway riders through the years, they could do better or progress more in the sport with better backing or better machinery etc. As we see week in week out Doyle is mustard around Foxhall, remember in 2019 season Jake beating Doyle around Foxhall when riding at no.6 Think with the right support and some luck avoiding injuries he could get back to that 5.5/6 average this season, certainly for me has the beating of Hume & both Thompson twins around Foxhall, and potentially Rew too, so expect him to take 6/7 rides tonight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he rides well 5 rides is the most he will get imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 On the money with the 4-6 point win prediction in favour of the Witches. Top two won't be able to carry Ipswich to silverware this season but they're getting away with it for now, Got to fancy Leicester to turn the tie around in the second leg.

In fairness it was abnormally poor score from riss at home tonight, if he scores 7/8 instead of 2 it’s a much much bigger win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 I said it the other week and I will say it again,, Rew needs to be at 4 for him to able to show his best, and Riss at 2 for the best from him,,,, he was awfully slow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
