Bagpuss Posted Friday at 07:34 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 07:34 AM I think the biggest compliment you can pay Ipswich is that they are top heavy AND rock solid all at the same time so far. They look scarily good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted Friday at 07:47 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 07:47 AM Good to see Danny King proving the fans who abused him last season to be idiots Riding at number two and not the pressure of last season when the morons expected him to carry the team means he only needs 6 a meeting to do his job The team looks awesome it has to be said For Belle Vue Kurtz was woeful wasn’t interested…. Lidsey and Zach Cook and Blodorn were miles off it Bewley was strange as the one heat he gated was exceptional and super quick then looked lost of ideas when behind The reserves were ok they tried to mix it and Zischke looks a good little rider and improved as the night went on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r8gdp Posted Friday at 09:04 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:04 AM If they steer clear of injuries this side will walk it .Can’t see anyone beating them at home and they ll be close matches when they travel .Hope Dan Thompson carries on is good start to the season.Could they go all season undefeated? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted Friday at 09:29 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:29 AM That ride from Jenkins though to keep GP superstar Bewley behind him,,, with just that one ride, you could then see his confidence grow instantly and carried it on the rest of the meeting. I'm sure he will now have a great season because of it. Also I actually think the track adjustment really will make for better racing,,, well done track team. the last seasons after the first meeting I've already had enough,, but last night was different,, and I will be back because of it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted Friday at 09:38 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:38 AM Injurys can be a factor but the witches are going to bulldoze everyone, brennan the key signing taking the pressure off king. everyone riding in the correct position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellevueace Posted Friday at 09:44 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:44 AM No surprise really when the Belle Vue side was announced i thought numbers 2,4,6,and 7 would give us a long tail and if the top two have an off night something like this could happen. Its only two meetings in but that tail has to start firing and find some consitency, Kings Lynn Monday will be interesting will we bounce back? Going to be difficult Stars look a solid outfit this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also shows his hand must be nice and strong 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False dawn Posted Friday at 10:54 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 10:54 AM It does seem that Mark Lemon is hinting there was a "mechanical issue" that hit the whole BV team. To me, this can only mean a bad batch of methanol e.g. a bit old, which means there could be absorbed water from the atmosphere. What's the current ruling about the fuel both teams use. Is it mandated that they use a common source or do they provide their own? Obviously, if everyone uses the same fuel, it is odd that only one team is badly affected.

ouch Posted Friday at 10:55 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 10:55 AM I know teams weren’t happy about the Tom & Jordan scenarios and it’ll be interesting to see if it was all chit chat or they actually follow through. The Aces at least doing their bit. Paying out 133 points every two legs. Ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanoXtra Posted Friday at 11:17 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 11:17 AM Mark Lemmon just can’t handle Belle vue got battered… by IpSH!T! Brilliant night, good turn out in crowd numbers and the boys produced. Personally I don’t rate bloedorn, Z cook or Lidsey as a good enough to win you a title. Not trying to sound harsh but I think Kings Lynn are a better side than Belle vue this season and will give us more problems. I’d say top four are us, Sheffield, Lynn and maybe Belle vue? Leicester might want a say in that. If Bewley and Kurtz have off nights you aren’t winning any meetings. Also like to point out now we have upgraded the track and beaten the current champions by a battering, what are people going to use as an excuse now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Results could be written down after bend two for nearly all races, when behind Bewley looked faster but could not find a way past anyone. I prefer a track which offers something to those behind and a better test of the 'improvements' will be those races where the opposition make the start.

Aries Posted Friday at 11:45 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 11:45 AM The Ipswich boys looked so quick last night. Emil stuffed up his gate in heat 13 but then went between Kurtz and Bewley off bend two like a hot knife through butter. You could visibly see more banking on the track as soon as we got there. As speedy says, we’ll get a better idea once the Witches boys start missing the gate a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when he’s not having his best meeting, he always seems to come up with a couple of great rides. Really nice lad too. Before the meeting last night he stopped and took time for every fan that wanted an autograph or a photo. Good lad.

Over the two legs all the riders are getting a decent points return. Belle Vue must be slightly worried and you have to question are they good enough when Bewley and Kurtz have an off night, the rest of the team look very flaky. a bit like Sheffield when Jack holder And Woofinden have a offf night night then !!
