PHILIPRISING Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 GOLLOB certainly won' be there, will be amazed if Woffinden is and Vaculik sustained concussion in Stockholm and may not be fit. One of the Poles told me over the weekend that even Mr Pedersen isn't that popular at Rzeszow this year having missed a number of meetings after SGP rounds which has contributed to the club being relegated.

Vaculik rode for Tarnow yesterday so should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Vaculik rode for Tarnow yesterday so should be ok. THANKS for that. Not sure if there is even a rule about riding again after concussion these days. Perhaps it was deemed later on Saturday that he wasn't concussed anyway but that was certainly the reason we were given for his withdrawal.

jimmy jimmy Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 It would be nice if another Brit replaced Tai. Cookie maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Sportowefakty are reporting that Tai Woffinden has informed the organisers that he is going to ride at Rzeszow on Sunday. If true is he being wise ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waiheke1 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Sportowefakty are reporting that Tai Woffinden has informed the organisers that he is going to ride at Rzeszow on Sunday. If true is he being wise ? no he's not. His loyalty to his existing commitments is admirable, but with the world championship so close it seems foolish to do anything to risk it, especially with his current injuries. even if he didn't have injuries you could have understood him being tempted to sit it out, espeically with the constant string of injuries that have hit almost all the top riders this season.

PHILIPRISING Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 NOT wise at all in my opinion. Could throw away the World title and never get that close again. I appreciate that right now his injury probably isn't much worse than it has been since Cardiff but to take such a risk seems foolhardy at best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krompa Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 16 pt lead in GP. Hampel's best score this year 16 and he is not Motoarena specialist. Tai needs a point or two to be world champion and he knows it. That's probably the reason to start in SEC and fight for double crown. Not much risk IMO.

SCB Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 If he's confident enough he can outscore Nicki in the SEC then scoring a few to beat Hampel in Poland is going to be simple. As he's been riding in the same state for half a season it hardly seems like a risk to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 IF I was Tai I wouldn't! Fair enough. I see your thinking but can equally see Tais. We know they're all a bit crazy just to race speedway so its no surprise to me he's wanting to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 With only a single point separating the top two and the battle for a rostrum place all very close one might think it's going to be a tense 22 heats, however, i think the most edge of the seat stuff will be Tai's 20-28 laps, squeaky bum and eyes closed time for all his fans and himself, although hopefully he'll have his eyes open! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 If he rides and finishes the meeting ,what happens at Birmingham on Monday if he decides he is injured again,will they be allowed a guest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't argue with a doctors note. I would expect him to ride though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
