Not bad Mildy, but is Zagar trustworthy He's a risk. But I'd gamble on the events of last season bringing him down a few pegs - dumped out of the GPs and dumped by his Polish club and few takers for him in Sweden and the UK.

1. Zagar 7.42 2. Hampel 6.27 3. Louis 7.10 4. Kroner 4.89 5. Miskowiak 6.69 6. Schramm 3.00 7. J Rempala 3.47 38.84 With that team, it's happy days for the Witches. I like the look of that team. Especially our new no 7.

He says in that article that this is a big year for him & Coventry is the place he wants to be.Simon isn't stupid, he knows the spirit in the Bees team & wants a part of it to help him achieve those goals. Is that what he says? Let's remind ourselves of what he said around this time last year: www.speedwayworld.tv/en/news/a7093?SID=209d4a302e871ac2edb6728363ea5e65I'm sorry, but if he wasn't stupid, he wouldn't be saying such outrageous things. Simon Stead will never ever, not ever, that's to say never, be a GP standard rider. And Coventry would be stupid to sign him. Just remeber old boy we have not signed him to ride in the gp's we have signed him as a 3rd heat leader, and if he puts a point on his average we will be doing ok.

Just reading today in the german speedway mag that Tobi turned down the chance to ride for a Swedish team.He want to go step by step and get himself consolidated where he is.Which bucks the trend at the moment where lots of riders seem to overstretch themselves.And is also good news for Ippo fans

And so long as he keeps that level headedness there's no reason why he can't go right to the top IMO. He's certainly quietly determined to do just that - and what's more he's probably the proudest since Chris joined the Witches to be pulling on the racesuit, which is nice!

Let us not forget that it was Waggy who 'discovered' him though.

(Or perhaps it was more a case of a rider riding best when he's happy?)

(Or perhaps it was more a case of a rider riding best when he's happy?) Well if getting paid makes riders happy, I guess you could be right. Seriously though, when Tobi first came over to ride for Oxford it was probably a year or so too early. He always looked stylish, but lacked pace at the time, and I'm delighted to see him developing well at Ipswich. What is it about the word 'Waggy' that gets some people going?

Taken from today's Evening Star:
WHY is it that Ipswich Evening Star Witches find it difficult to attract top speedway riders to Foxhall Stadium?
The Suffolk-based club has again missed out on a number of star names, and still wait to complete their 2008 side.
And Witches supporters, fed on a diet of disappointing displays over the last few years, are getting increasingly concerned that, despite promises to the contrary, the situation will not improve this time around.
Simon Stead and David Howe are two proven English riders who have opted for other clubs with Stead joining Coventry on loan from Belle Vue and Howe finally agreeing a deal to stay with Wolverhampton.
This follows the departure of Grand Prix riders Scott Nicholls and Hans Andersen from Foxhall over the last three years.
And with Mark Loram unlikely to race for at least 15 months after breaking his thigh last March, some fans fear Ipswich will again struggle to put out a competitive side.
Ipswich are one of the most prompt payers in the Sky Sports Elite League and their books regularly balance.
But Stead, who is a proven performer around Foxhall and would, on paper at any rate, have made Ipswich into a title-chasing side, was not able to be tempted to Suffolk.
Witches promoter John Louis admits that team building had to be put on hold when Stead said no to Ipswich's overtures.
“Simon was a rider we put a lot of thought into,” said Louis. “And when we lost out it brought our plans to a bit of a halt.
“He would have been perfect for us I am sure. But you cannot force people to ride for you.
“At the end of the day Simon signed for Coventry, which is nearer his Sheffield home.
“I agree we need to have a strong top end to improve our record over the last couple of years, and we are still working to this end.”
Ipswich have 13.90 points to play with after completing the signings of Jarek Hampel, Chris Louis, Robert Miskowiak and Tobi Kroner, and Louis confirmed that there were a couple of Polish assets who could be brought into play.
Mariusz Puszakowski rode for the Witches at the end of the 2005 campaign and built up a great rapport with Foxhall fans. He could be in line for a recall.

Just out of interest, what average would Pepe Protasiewicz come in on?
