DOYLE: BRING ON OPENING NIGHT!

IPSWICH No.1 Jason Doyle is ready for a big clash of the top stars in a mouth-watering Premiership opener at Foxhall on Thursday.

Doyle has been joined by Emil Sayfutdinov in the Witches’ ranks but opponents Peterborough will arrive with major signings of their own, including treble World Champion Nicki Pedersen and fellow GP winner Niels-Kristian Iversen.

Said Doyle: “We’re in it to win it. And a good start against Peterborough is our first goal.

“Our first meeting against Nicki and Niels-Kristian is going to be good for me and Emil to show them the right way around Ipswich – and hopefully come out with that win.

“Having Nicki back in British Speedway is amazing, so now we’ve got about six of the top 20 riders in the world back in Britain. For fans it must be great to have that happen after so many years without them.”
