With Ipswich/B.V/Sheffield a given..... I'm afraid, there's no comparison imo.... But I do think that B'ham will finish above Oxford! No such thing as a “given” in this sport. Ipswich were the best side in the league last year all being equal, and it wasn’t even close really. But everyone knows what happened. If Emil had been injured sooner than he did, then Ipswich wouldn’t have even made the play offs. We/they were top at the time of his crash at Sheffield, but then lost the last 11 or 12 meetings I think it was in league and cup which gifted (yes gifted whether they like it or not) the KOC to Sheffield and the League to Belle Vue. The three top clubs who again look the strongest, may have the best top end, but they also have riders that are Elite because of the way they ride and the risks they take to win races. Doyle in particular, is one rider that is quite unique over here. He’ll treat heat 1 at Foxhall for a run of the mill league meeting, like a GP final. If he loses which he sees as his backyard, you’ll see him park his bike at the pit gate, rip out his cut out and storm back to the pits and slam his helmet down in his pit bay. He hates losing any heat, anywhere but particularly at Foxhall. That’s why he ends up with a 11+ average at Home. But with that, carries extra risk obviously. The teams that start the season in most cases, will look nothing like the teams that take to track in September. Either through injury, or strategic team changes. An awful lot of luck is involved in this sport, which means sometimes the winners are the luckiest, rather than the best. That applies to those that like a flutter as well. Little to no value in betting on the usual suspects, have a couple of quid on an outsider. Edited 5 hours ago by Arch Stanton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree with that, Emil is on par with the commitment. we have been so lucky to have those two here at Ipswich I think most thought we might have Emil for a year maybe two so to be going into a third is fantastic. Hopefully the boys will bring it home this year & us Foxhall faithful will continue to enjoy the Doyle & Emil show for as long as we can.
