Tai Woffinden

Fantastic, congratulations to Woffinden. I'll hold my hand up, I mocked his pick at the start of the season, thinking he was just another British charity pick, but he's shown what a bit (actually, a lot) of effort and natural talent can achieve, fantastic!

 

Also well done to PUK, the second former Newport rider after Phil Crump to finish World No.3, legend.

 

 

Nearly choked on my Dorset Cereals this morning when the BBC mentioned the speedway. The presenter didn't have a clue and kept glancing down to his notes, but said Tai had to score 6 points to wi the first title in 13 years and that he could do it tomorrow in Poland, and his nearest rival was a Pole. And if he wins it he will hopefully be in the studio next week.

 

Just had a glance at the BBC website, such high profile sports as Archery, Handball and Wrestling on the main list, but no mention of Speedway. Hopefully this win can push our brilliant sport on to this list. I won't hold my breath...

All the best as well to your mum, girlfriend and all your team.......

What a Champ, massive big congrats to Tai and as you said your Dad would be looking down on you tonight, and he will be so proud of his son.

 

I got a big lump in my throat when you gave your Mum a hug.

Thanks to Tai for making the 2013 season memorable for one positive reason. How he saw off the trap in heat 5 was amazing. What a way to win a title!

 

Congratulations to the first former Rocket to win a world title.

 

As a result of matters on the domestic section of the site I expect to be receiving a ban - eventually enough is enough on both sides - so I'll just take this final chance to thank those on the International section for providing warm and intelligent company through the season. It's best if I shut up for a while. I've sa\id what I needed to say.

 

Tai, I had the highest respect for your father - wonderful to see you honour his memory in the finest way.

 

Isn't it funny how much better the Grands Prix have been on Eurosport ;-)
