No but on that front I'm surprised more fans don't buy team shirts - football fans seem to love wearing them to games or outside in general.  Don't you find it difficult sometimes to tell who's who, particularly on TV?

I do sometimes but that's due to the number on the backs not always being clear - to me its seems obvious to have riders number and name on the back just like in other sports - the days of me knowing which rider was which by leathers, sponsors and bike covers are long gone.

Bloody brilliant! When our top 2 wasn't even firing at full tilt and we can win by 10 away at BV. OUTSTANDING

King gets a lot of criticism by me more than most but last night he set the tone for his season. Of course he will have off matches but at 2 if he can get 6+ most matches we will have a very good season. 

Thompson just kicking on again!! Leicester must be fuming they've let him go

Can see King having a spell at reserve this year the way Thompson's trajectory is going, which will do him no harm at all. 

I've been overly critical of him the last few years but effectively being the no 5/6 in averages should suit him well and turn him into the trump card that Harris is.

Too much of Danny’s ippo career the expectations on him have been higher than his level, he’s never been a proper 1 or 5 in the top league but he’s had to be that and then overly criticised when come up short - now he’s not got the burden of those unrealistic expectations should go along quite nicely this season.

 

Hawkins made a good point with king riding at 2 the majority of his rides come earlier in the meeting on a grippier track which will suit him also
 

Great start last night for him and the team 😃

Same here but credit where credits due, He was brilliant from start to finish last night.

Danny just looked so likely from the get go and he even made Kurtz work for his Heat win.

If Danny rides like that all season then on a good night Ipswich are looking at 20 points from the Doyle/King partnership alone.
