Really why is that then?

not forgetting the infamous v sign to the grandstand after 2017 wolves win in play/offs and then recently rode across 3D pitch for sheffield when all riders know this is a no no !! not very popular at b/vue although some fans do like him lol

Yes I remember those and he did something in a international meeting with a fan I think, maybe a nations cup not sure. Never been a favourite of mine, dont like his attitude especially towards fans of other teams.

Not even Jack Holder who is slightly ahead of Brady imo.

 

Or Doyle or Emil?

Those 3 I'd have ahead of Brady imo!! 

Nope none.  Absolutely none of them.

There clearly isnt much between them and it will be interesting to see how Brady gets on in the gp's, shame Emil isn't in them.

No brainer. 

Jason is 10 years older than Brady so naturally his remaining shelf life is limited and only going one way. In their head to heads in ‘23 Brady won 9 to 5. 

Emil is also older and it only takes things to change internationally for him to revert to the rider that completed 1 UK season out of 18. 

Jack is just not a Belle Vue kind of rider and wouldn’t fit in despite Marks love for his fellow Aussies.

1. Bewley - will never be the 10+ rider everyone wants/expects him to be

2. Blodorn - has found his limit. A decent 2nd string who is too inconsistent to be anything more 

3. Lidsey - in my opinion worse than B Cook who they’ve let go to keep Jaimon. Will never score enough points away from home

4. Z Cook - big downgrade on his brother. If he was at reserve a great signing, in the main body not so much.

5. Kurtz - Will Brady be as committed to UK speedway next year? Big season making his GP debut, as well as stepping up to Wroclaw… question marks raised over him this season with his antics, could we see even more next year?

6. Zischke - no one can question his talent and potential, but coming back from that serious of an injury and seeing all the away tracks for the first time, does make me feel nervous for Aces reserves

7. Mulford - the 2nd worst RS in the league with only Hagon behind him

Again, like this year putting far too much pressure on Dan, Brady and Jaimon to score 35+ points a meeting to get them over the line. a longer tail than last year and worse 2nd string support. Aces will make the playoffs but that will be the end of the road for them

Disagree with a fair bit of that.

I think riding in the GP's and Extraliga could propel Kurtz onto the next level. He has always been very committed to BV.

Bewley has improvement in him.

Lisdey is on an attractive average, assume he finished behind Cook a lot last season considering their respective averages. Agree he needs to be better away.

Blodorn is still young and Zischke could have a very big season if he avoids injury, he's a very exciting talent.

Take on board what you say about Cook & Mulford but overall I think they can give a full strength Ippo a run for their money over two legs.

There you go @AceBelle that's how you do it without behaving like you're in the playground 👍

it's what you do in play/offs that matter if you get there ? averages & whether they improve etc mean nothing !!

Says the guy that threw playground insults at me and then disappeared off in a sulk for the next few months. 

While you were away you may have missed Kurtz riding in the GP qualifiers while electing to give the team he was captain of matches a miss.

I’ve thought Brady has been the best away rider to visit Ipswich for a few seasons now, he’s a good bit better round Foxhall than the likes of fricke/jack holder. Woffiden was pretty impressive on his first return in 15 years or so I must say too.

in terms of riding at Ipswich tho? Wouldn’t swap Emil or Doyle for anyone

Qualifiers, plural? Me thinks you’re lying. 
Still baffles the hell out of me the ill feeling directed at riders striving for individual glory over the decades. Brady got his reward though and I’m looking forward to seeing him push on in the GPs.

He always vanishes when hes been outed especially when it's by fellow Aces fans.

Apologies for that, wasn't my finest hour.

Not in a sulk, just needed to get away for a bit. When an internet forum starts to affect your mood/mental state/health etc it's time to have a break. Back now refreshed and looking forward to 2025.

Merry Christmas! 🎅

I mean you are kind of arguing against yourself but I quite agree.

That's fair enough, apology accepted and appreciated 👍

We can go at it again in Spring 2025 when Mr Klindt struggles with the cold again lol. Looks a solid Stars team and hopefully better times ahead ⭐

All the best and Merry Christmas to you too 🎅
