superguest Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Tai is gonna struggle if he goes into this series trying to win every race. He won't get away with the 2nd bend wide sweeps, they will shut the door on him. Mostly, I think it's really important he doesn't get too down if things go wrong and also to not get too arrogant if he has a few wins. He really needs to try and win back a few fans too, so I really hope he can compose himself when the adrenaline is flowing.

SCB Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I think over the year he will win a few races, make a couple of semis, maybe even make 1 final. Â Finish 8th/9th/10th with a bit of luck and no injuries! Â Hows that for an optimistic post? Â M If optimistic is saying he'll fail to make the top 8, even with some luck then I'd hate to see you being pessimistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.N.T. Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 If optimistic is saying he'll fail to make the top 8, even with some luck then I'd hate to see you being pessimistic  I Darcy does as expected and is one of the front runners, riders like AJ, Zagar, Kasprzak, Vaculik, Iversen and Hampel will also miss out on a top 8 place as this is without doubt the strongest field ever seen for the Series and while Tai knows he isn't going to have things his own way, he will be battling for every point.  Personal in such a line up and being opptomistic, I think he will do well to break into the top 12.

Eglese 19 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I think if Tai holds his head together he could do ok, time will tell but I certainly won't write him off, not that I expect him to finish in the top 8. Certainly If he does ok I think he'll win a lot of fans back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrhbig Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Was TV channel hopping one day and "landed" on a quite nice programme on Trace sports about Tai, he came across as quite a pleasant young man, with the feature showing his home life and work with Peter Adams and wolves, and touching on the unfortunate side as well. Is this an old programme or new , and has anyone else seen it, as I have not seen mention of it anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I think it was shown last year on 'Transworld Sport' or something similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Im convinced Tai will do well on the temporary tracks like Cardiff and Copenhagen it will just depend on the bigger tracks, i hope the new engine tuner will help with that though.

PHILIPRISING Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 HAD breakfast with Tai yesterday. Seems very focused and very honest about how he didn't come to grips with what is required when last in the series. Everything he has done since arriving here has been very professional. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haza Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Big well done to Tai did more in one GP than Harris did in 12 rounds in 2012 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackhammer Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I got shouted down for suggesting Tai could make the top 8 by the end of the season. After watching him today I am quietly confident he actually WILL. On that form he may even win a GP with a tad more luck who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 He's proved it, won't be World Champ but he IS ready for the GP challenge. Correct choice for the Brit Wild Card 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballinger Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Even from this one SGP it was quite clear that Woffy will deliver more this year than Harris did last. Fast kit and the ability to convey required changes to set ups the key ingredients. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
