With Belle Vue missing Charles Wright it will be extremely difficult, as shown on Thursday R/R won’t cover for him. So much depends on Norick Blodorn who will be having 6 rides but he had another crash on Saturday to go with his concussion last week, shouldn’t be riding in my opinion,

Agree about Norick, can't be fit and has been a bit off the boil of late. I'd try to get Ben Cook in, good gater, fast and has a smooth style that suits the NSS. I'd be looking at him for next year. In my opinion he's in the Tungate, Bjerre and Lydsey mould so likely to score well.

Riding when not fit just hinders the team but Norick has been hit and miss this season.

Possibly, although a team with a top two of Doyle and Sayfutdinov should never be surrendering an 18 point lead really no matter how good Belle Vue are at home. If Those two do their jobs, the other five need to produce very little between them for Ipswich to progress. 

Their ten rides should easily yield 23 points as a minimum so just 14 needed from the rest...

Ipswich won by 18 at Foxhall so no reason why the Aces can't do that tonight - don't think R/R will hamper them too much, their reserves perform well at home.

Agree in principle but meetings are not won and lost based on averages / assumptions based on how good x or y is!

This will depend massively on what Doyle does. Hasn’t been great around the NSS this season and could have a hangover from that nasty crash last weekend still. 

If he’s on song it’ll take a big performance from Belle Vue to take the aggregate win.

Hopefully Connor Bailey will score well tonight he was fast at Glasgow on Saturday passing Tarasenko in his first race.

Hope Belle vue keep it close and fight till the end , war of attrition this time of year with multiple fixtures, injuries and rider fatigue.

 

Yes, and as I mentioned in a previous post, the vast majority of injuries have come on foreign soil. Only Woffy's injury has come on home soil and even that was a GP round and not a Premier/Championship League meeting. Faster tracks abroad with more pressure = greater risk of injury?
