IPSWICH have called in Joe Thompson to fill the Rising Star position made vacant by the pre-season injury to Jack Thomas.
Thompson rode in the Premiership as Wolverhampton's Rising Star last season but now switches to Foxhall. He will also be racing in the Cab Direct Championship for Scunthorpe and in the National Development League for Leicester. Thompson said: "This is a new goal I have got and I'm looking to push forward. It is obviously one of the best teams to be a part of in the country and it wasn't a hard decision at all, I'm glad to be a part of it. "It is going to be a great experience that I can learn from, and I'm really excited to be a part of such a great team of experienced riders. "I always have goals for each year, I just want to keep improving my average in the National Development League and Championship, but I want to pick up points at Ipswich and try and be more consistent in the top league."
