The GP rider who turned them down, would it be a certain Robert Lambert? Think they will have to go Polish, Szymon Wozniak has ridden over here before.

Bash...I can Promise you it wasn't Lambert.

Well if it wasn't him, Zmarzlik wouldn't ride over here, he would be the obvious one asked.

My money's on Madsen.

Underperforming in the GP's and he doesn't ride in Sweden so like Lindgren it would be logical to get himself another team place with regular meetings to get himself so more race sharpness.

I wouldn't think Laguta is in their plans at the moment, as i said i wouldn't rule him out, but he will be a last ditch desperate choice if every other avenue is burnt.

It's clear they want reliability and Commitment, especially the position the team is in...And Laguta doesnt bring either of those, thats not just to Ipswich, i would say that about any team in the Premier Division, he would be a last ditch option for all 7 Teams.

It’s a demand at Ipswich, not a request so you’re quite correct. Emil to his credit took that on board. They may have to lower their sights and change the make up of the side from a powerful top end, to a more strength in depth looking side with just Emil as the big hitter. That would mean sacrificing a rider lower down unfortunately. The drop off points wise from Doyle’s replacement has to be made up elsewhere in the team. We’ll see.

Wouldn't want that jumped up little s*#t at Foxhall, he's no better then a moaning faced Aussie, one sure way to bring the team morale down.

Laguta is the only rider on the planet that is on the same level as Zmarzlik.

The idea that Laguta is last on any list is hilarious.

Artem doesn't need to ride in the UK, he is being paid £2,000 per point for Wroclaw. The UK would be lucky if Artem graced us with his presence.

Not a rider that refused HT 15 last season, because he had a problem with his No1 bike, and his number 2 wasn't as fast.

I doubt if JD, Emil need the money either. But you would be able to tell, by their effort or commitment.

Of the names being bandied about,  I think Madsen is one of the more likely

He's yet another gating tart tho tbf, plus he ain't overly keen when the tracks are wet/heavy or not well prepared.

The problem with Laguta last season was that he might have "graced us with his presence", but in some matches it wasn't obvious.

To defend Laguta slightly, he was brought over by Brady wasn't he on their agreed deal.

Brady soon departed and he was left with Buster, who whether you believe it or not, didn't wanted him riding in many meetings due to his cost.

Ended up at Peterborough because that meant the cost wasn't put on Lynn

Think he could be forgiven to some extent based on the joke surroundings he was amongst.

Personally think Laguta could thrive at a club like Ipswich which provides a more stable environment for their riders.

Fwiw I believe Laguta would of stayed in the UK riding for Peterborough had we been running this season, I think he’s a rider that needs to be in the right environment to thrive so that may be at Ipswich as well, that environment certainly wasn’t at Kings Lynn during his first spell here. He was very good and committed the last couple of meetings he did at the Showground, only missing the last one because Wrocław pulled him out.
