Monmore is like no other, that’s why some top class riders have struggled there over the years and why even some bang average Wolves sides on paper, have still managed to make it a fortress. Wolves by 6. For sure monmore is more specialist but Emil just looks incredible so far this season, tbf Ipswich you have to turn pretty hard too and he was the fastest by a mile at practice day from the first lap and all season matching Doyle… he’s not going to be caught out like many continental riders with his motors being too strong I don’t think, he looks to have machines dialled wolves by 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Emil will probably be ok because he's a class act, but it must be said that Monmore Green is very, very different to Leicester or the Foxhole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralMelchett Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Witches won twice (is that right?) at Monmore last year and traditionaly tend to do ok there from memory, I think a narrow home win 46-44 maybe for this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the old circuit with the long straights and tight bends you had to turn hard, but not this current Ipswich circuit. It’s night and day since the changes with the widened bends and the all in one smooth transition around the bends. The circuit is much more circular in shape and is much “easier to ride” according to a few riders including Louis himself. At Monmore, you pretty much have to turn so hard on the second bend you almost come to a complete halt before getting your wheels in line and get going again up the back straight! Easy to see why a lot of the riders (and supporters to be fair) don’t like it. I’ve never been a fan and I accept you do at times get some close racing and overtaking, but visually it’s never appealed to me. On the flip side though I guess it’s good to have something a bit different from the norm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top riders tend to ride well anywhere but might take a heat to get fully familar. I know in the old days a fair few supposed top riders would whine about Arena - but the really top riders would come and score massively there!

scoobydoo Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Peterborough lost by 10 at Wolves with the #1 on the night scoring 3+1 and there #6 a championship HL scoring zero , so you would think Ipswich should be more than capable of running Wolves closer than them.

We did indeed but as someone rightly pointed out earlier, one of those was down to Riss racking up a cricket score at reserve. We do still have riders that go well here though, Doyle obviously, king can win races here and Barker can also be a nuisance at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Hume should be good enough to score a few points tonight considering he knows Monmore very well. Fancy Ipswich to win a close one as I don't think Craig Cook will put up the ridiculously good numbers Nicholls put up for Wolves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Well done Wolves fully deserved and a cracking heat 13 Didnt expect us to win this but hopefully in the b fixture a couple of our guys will do a bit better Concern for Joe now he really isn’t at this level. Great kid and when we go Foxhall his family are lovely people as well but sometimes business comes first 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Ipswich don't have a reserve to put in any kind of Prem Title challenge imo. Can replace Joe but it won't make much of a difference because Hume is out of his depth at No.6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hume is ok but needs someone with him capable of getting 4 or 5 as well like Kemp or Rowe Teams are built differently Peterborough have the best number 6 and number 7 but the top end is awful Belle Vue have a number 6 scoring 8 or 9 and a number 7 who can’t score Wolves 6 and 7 are only getting 9 between them as well Ipswich is built top heavy but if our 2 reserves can get 9 between them we will be fine ….. at the moment Hume is getting 5 or 6 and Joe is lucky to get 1 so Hume has a lot of pressure on him Edited May 22, 2023 by Gavan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
