I'd love Hampel back at Ipswich! 

I saw on interview Emil flying the flag telling other riders to come back/come to Britain. 

Just hope Ippo get a good replacement in as we're in a great position this season so far

Think they’ll wait until both Ellis and King are back and prove their fitness. I know Ellis is back Thursday and King is aiming to be back Saturday for the British final, but if one or both suffer a reaction and are out again for a period then it could reduce the clubs options if a direct replacement for Doyle is already in place. They’re probably not sure if it’s one change needed, or two going forward.

As we sit this morning I can honestly say it won't be Laguta,whether he wants to ride here or not, as its not Dudek or Vaculik.

I wonder if they'll take a punt on Thomsen or haps Michelsen, time will tell i suppose.

What are peoples thoughts on Leon Madsen?  I have nothing to suggest he is an option with management, but wonder if a stint in the UK and more track time might boost him in the GPs?

Sadly none of the 3 Danes we've named will be a patch on Doyle.

Madsen definitely not the answer, Michelsen would be ok but I think he's busy enough.

And you know this how? Not that I want Laguta, but the other two would do.

Few riders would be round Foxhall

 

Exactly and tbh most tracks! Only one who has been any good but would need time as track has slightly changed is Jarek Hampel but would he come over now?

It's just not those 3, and it couldn't of come from a more reliable source, the only one that could change is Laguta,but its definitely not the other 2.

All i know is they are working tirelessly to get the right kind of rider into our team that fits the criteria of Team Spirit that this Witches septet have built up through the early stages of this season. And on Monday evening at Birmingham, at the end of the meeting....Vaculik and Dudek were definetly not part of any discussions with Chris and Ritchie, and from what was said, i doubt that has changed in any way.

They had been turned down by 1 GP rider, but they expected that anyway, and i would go as far as saying these 2 are seriously trying thier hardest to bring a rider in....For in their words an Irreplaceable rider in Jason Doyle. It seems very difficult to get the right rider in, but im nobody, just a fan who watches Home and Away most of the season, and i know they are frustrated in their efforts to gain a new Heat Leader.

But those 2 named above, and Laguta were not part of any ongoing discussions as of Monday about 10pm. I would just add, i wouldnt rule out Laguta, nothing was said, but i just wouldnt rule him out.

And for what its worth...And this was not part of anything discussed, just my opinion, i wouldnt be shocked if they made 2 Changes and not just bring in a Replacement for Jason, but thats not from a reliable source, thats from me who just has a hunch.

That immediately rules out Lambert then :D

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.
