T.N.T. Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Tai certainly seems to have a different persona this season. He seems more relaxed, confident and controlled and certainly seems to have a good team around him. Pete Adams is in his corner at GP's keeping an eye on things and he has been there before with a number of world champions like Ole Olsen and Bruce Penhall. At the start of the season, many Wolves fans thought it would only be a matter of time before Freddie takes the #1 race jacket back, but so far Tai looks to be in a comfortable position and has moved up to 8.92 already but Freddie is close behind on 8.79 and it will be a good battle through the season. In the GP' however, Tai has hit the ground running and is joint third with Hampel on 23 points while Freddie has just 12 points in 12th place. The most pleasing thing so far though is all those that questioned his inclusion in the series and has certainly made them take notice and long may it continue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinsgirl Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 His Aussie grounding is finally paying off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I thought Tai would struggle on the bigger tracks and do well at smaller tracks like Cardiff and Copenhagen. Its a very promising start from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Boy Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Great thing about last night's performance was that Tai got a lot of his points from the back. Bikes look fast, but Tai was prepared to get in there and mix it with the top GP stars, give absolutely no quarter and beat them. I hope he goes on to have a great GP season, whether he continues in this viein only time will tell, but thanks for some great entertainment last night. Now where did I put those throat lozenges....!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I just hope the lad picks up some more sponsorship off the back of this great start, looking a little bare on his race suit. Money must be tight for him to compete financially 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEAN MACHINE Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I think tai should be kicked out of the gp. I backed him each way last night. Anywhere but last in the final and i would of got £200. Gutted lol. Well done tai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you miss Bombers 4 2nds and a 3rd? Tai performance was very good but Bomber has had a few better GPs since Cardiff 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluPanther Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Looking very fast, and taken his game to the highest level this year. Should be a GP regular for years to come, and a potential world champion with any luck. A breathe of fresh air for british fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGT Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Anyone disillusioned with speedway should really watch the reruns of last night's meeting, especially Tai's heroics. As Bluepanther says, his performance was a breath of fresh air. Long may it continue. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackhammer Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) I said at the start that Tai could do well and was shouted down but two rounds in and he's already 4th in the standings. So good to have a Brit actually capable of not only mixing it but putting himself in a position to win a GP (only a matter of time IMO) Well done Tai that was awesome!

Fromafar Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Not his biggest fan ,but hats off to him he is looking impressive and classy this season ,hope he has turned the corner in his career.Fantastic style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dornier Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Think Tai`s problem is going to be steering clear of injuries. A couple of times on Saturday he avoided a crash by a cods hair . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandorum Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Did you miss Bombers 4 2nds and a 3rd? Tai performance was very good but Bomber has had a few better GPs since Cardiff 2007. This is true but in general Bomber never really looked like he could actually challenge for a rostrum place and mostly was lamentable. Tai on the other hand might just be able to do that. He was excellent against good opposition yesterday in Poland and seems to be riding really intelligently and having good equipment helps that. Of course one swallow does not a summer make so we shall have to wait and see if he can build on the weekend. Best of British to him and even though I want a Russian to win the SGP I will be giving him my support across the season and would not at all be dissapointed if he was able to pip my fave Russian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
