Which leaves options for Dan T, Joe T as the rising star? Can kemp be a RS still? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see DT back but I think he will probably be back at Ipswich. Why not, 16 is just a number, ask D Bewley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 Oxford invested in Boughen so why wouldn't they pick him as their RS. Extra track time around the Oxford circuit in the Prem against better opposition can only help his progress in the Champ. Joe Thompson at Leicester me thinks.

Are the Thompson family and Stewart Dickson on friendly terms? Suggestions on here last season that the relationship wasn't good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Thompson is the best RS available around Leicester and he needs the experience and money. Dickson needs a RS who can ride Leicester well and have the beating of the oppositions RS at Home most weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe relations are better now and Mr Cairns is keen that the Thompson family are involved at Leicester as he is a huge promoter of British youth Speedway. I would agree that Dan or Joe T are probably the best RS round Leicester it was Dan’s away form that was the issue last season but showed that he improved greatly towards the end of the season.

I really hope not. Joe isn't as much of a racer as Dan. I would rather Boughen over JT TBH. There are better options available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s more Chapman than Holder - when Peterborough dropped Holder before a wheel had turned and brought in Pedersen instead - that worked out well - NOT!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
