pandorum Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 a truly remarkable 2013 season and the birth of a true National Hero in the sport of speedway we can all be proud of. Surely he is that even if he does not pull it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor... Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 I think Tai has a good style of riding he`s more on the lines of Leigh Adams / Eric Boocock. Am not a fan of the Holder / Ward style of riding they`re never in full control .....in my opinion.... Didn't think you would be somehow, can't begin to think why!! Then again, Chris hasn't done to badlty with that Crappy style and out of control riding as you put it, has he... Time you had a re-think. Nice way to twist someones words there. Not once did he mention crappy style and being out of control. It's not for me to accuse a Poole follower of twisting something that isnt even there to serve their own agenda, but you've pretty much done it yourself there. Keep up the good work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnglishRoundabout Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Have always been impressed with Woffinden when riding at Blunsdon. He has natural balance and ability on a speedway machine. I am relieved to hear he is portraying a more mature character of late. I do recall some rather embarrassing interviews with him on Sky a few years back.

T.N.T. Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I am relieved to hear he is portraying a more mature character of late. I do recall some rather embarrassing interviews with him on Sky a few years back. How many non Polish riders do interviews in Polish. Even learning to speak thelaguage where he rides regular and has good sponsors is something you dont see happen. Even for a Polish newspaper he was interviewed in English and answered them in Polish. Some riders at 22 years of age are still struggling to speak English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Can he do it? I've written an article debating whether the title is going to end up with Tai or Emil complete with a poll, the link is below and it'd be great if as many fans as possible could have their say! At the time of writing Woffy is edging proceedings. http://tuckerspeedway.wordpress.com/2013/08/04/tais-time/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzman Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I say this very much as an outsider to league speedway but doesn't this prove that some times being thrown in the deep end as Tai was for one season in the GPs can be a massive learning curve. He's returned and been a lot more focused, a lot more professional. There's a big push by the fans to see British quotas at the top level of British Speedway but the constant argument is the riders aee not good enough. Maybe the first year that will be the case but let them learn and they might as Tai did come back a whole lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eglese 19 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Well, Tai's certainly proved me wrong this year and I'm happy for it. Also, as has been mentioned, he seems to have matured no end and is earning respect not just for his riding which is great to see. It would be great if he can go on to be champ this year, I thought the injury may have finished him (for the title) but then he goes and cuts Emil's lead in Italy and it's all to ride for.

OGT Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hugely impressed with Tai this year. He's obviously got the right people around him and is totally focussed. His race craft has come on a ton too. TBH I'd love to see him win it this year, but if he's beaten by Emil then I wouldn't be too disappointed. He has time on his side, in fact they both do. They could both dominate GPs for years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 THROW in Darcy Ward, a hopefully fit Chris Holder and some of the others youngsters coming through as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackhammer Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Heard Tai is set to be sponsored by Audi as his GP scorecard is highly likely to resemble their logo. FAIL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 FAIL! Yes, we'll done. Picking out one post. NOBODY said he'd be in 2nd with 3 GPs to go so everyone failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that person has a right to like or dislike anything they like. <childish abuse removed> Yes, we'll done. Picking out one post. NOBODY said he'd be in 2nd with 3 GPs to go so everyone failed. I backed him and <childish abuse removed> . (although for some reason i cannot find the original post) I never said he'd be top 3 but i said he could make the top 8 and even maybe win one (based on the fact that if bomber could then Tai definitely could) But now look whats happened people like that should just leave well alone and this place might be a lot more pleasant.

I for one am glad I was wrong, and I hope Tai goes all the way now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
