Gearhead Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 sadly i would say at the moment even in GB Tai is still behind Bomber and Scott.Both of them failed in the GPs,so i see no reason why Tai will fair any better.Time will tell,but i don't look good,because if Tai fails who do we choose then?????

arnieg Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 The funny thing about this whole debate is that if wild cards didn't exist then none of this would have happened. The 15 best riders in the world would be there off their own backs and that alone. Er no. .... wouldn't Ales Dryml, Leon Madsen, Troy Batchelor and the winner of a run-off between Andersen, Ljung, Vaculik and Buczkowski be there. (I know in practice that with no wild cards the GP challenge field might look a bit different - but the point remains a valid one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Wonder if some peoples thoughts on Tai may change if he ends up riding for them next season ? Both Tai and MJJ are quality riders and are on the boarderline of being top 15 ..... but who outside of the GP Series next year (barMJJ) is better than Tai, Kasprzak, Zagar etc ?

paulboy Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Had a bad couple of years ? Moved up from a 7.2 rider to just under nine points a match, taken over the #1 race jacket at Wolves ahead of Freddie Lindgren and has an average a point higher than any other Brit ...... I'd say apart from injuries Tai has had a decent 2011 and 2012. Forget being a Wolves fan, coming from a speedway fan then I would say he is there on merit. A near 9 average in Britain and 123+15 points from 15 meetings in the Polish top league ...... not a bad record for a lad who turned just 22 in August MJJ is a great talent and likely to be crowned World U21 Champion and scored a creditable 161+25 from 22 meetings in Poland and scored well in Sweden too ..... but he averaged just 6.54 in England and only really hit double figures three times after moving into the main body of the Panhers team. At 20 years of age his time will come .... but not just yet Sadly my fear is that he may well sit out riding in England next year ...... think a lot may depend on who is backing him finacially as he may need the support of a good British sponsor. As for riding for Team Australia ...... Tai wants that British title and although he is good mates with the Turbo Twins and a number of Aussies, I dont think you will see him switch sides at all. Tai may or may not be riding for Wolves next season ..... he may well ride elsewhere !! ..... but I wish him the best for the GP Series and he knows as weall do that it's going to be very tough as ALL 15 in the Series next year are capable of beating each other ..... but he will give it a good go and may not make the top 8 but he will add some spice to the Series Come off it, he is there because he represents GB, no other reason! No problem with that, if a Brit has to be in he is the only option, although not sure about your averages, I have Harris just behind Woffinden who of course has a massive home advantage to boost his average.

So you could say that Tai have had his chance too or does that not apply to British riders? Besides JK had a nasty crash in the beginning of the season and it more then the whole season for him to became himself again.

dabbsjoe Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Tai made a lot of mistakes/changes that season in machinery and team. not saying he'll be a world beater next season but he has switched to GM engines now i believe in all countries he rides in which seems to have made him quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
