FromBendThree Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 No more videos please. Not original and damn annoying. So last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's way better than announcing it in the local paper at 6am on a Thursday morning. Fair enough the videos could be a bit more interesting or creative, but they're far more on trend than a boring article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dan T wanted to race for Leicester, I would have had him in a heartbeat, maybe he wanted to be loyal to Ipswich after Leicester dropped him?

Nothing against the kid but that seems a huge gamble I wouldn't call it a huge gamble, just a weak signing (sorry Joe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the weakest of the seven but also his signing makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was Dan and Ipswich wanted me, it wouldn't have been a difficult decision (as you mention). Leicester dropped him last year so the same thing could have happened next year. I would also take racing with two of the top riders in the league as you are going to learn from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From listening to comments he made about Ippo last year it seems that absolutely no pressure was put on him at all, so you can't blame him for wanting to return... or was that Joe? either way no pressure Edited December 3, 2023 by iainb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He became a firm part of the Ippo family and was given loads of help and support from Emil, JD and all the riders and staff. Who wouldn't say Yes to an offer to go back? Another year there, a solid year in the Championship and we might just see a real British prospect for a golden future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False dawn Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 Quotes from Stewart Dickson:"That was the position [RS] held by Kemp in 2023. With his 4.04 average now meaning he moves out of the Rising Star scheme, but with a 25 per cent discount applied meaning he will start the new season on 3.03 "There was an extensive list of riders on the Rising Star list but Joe was the one who stood out" Could someone help me please? Who qualifies for the 25% discount and is there a published Rising Star list for 2024? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
