Hodgy Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Kurtz maybe younger but has been riding Speedway much longer than both Worrall twins. They only started speedway a few years ago. As is often the case with British speedway many riders are victims of their own success. The better you improve the more risk you have putting yourself out of a job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The better you improve the more risk you have putting yourself out of a job.That might go a long way as to explaining why, as a 'Nation', Britain aren't that good (internationally) as other countries,,, unless it's at curling, or 'pub sports' like darts or snooker,,, oh, and horse racing it would be a shame if speedway lost Richie, if he is struggling financially,,, but am sure he isn't the only one,,, Edited July 23, 2015 by ruffdiamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 doesn't look to me as though he ever went to school Pinocchio training school. He had just about enough intelligence to open his mouth when he wanted to eat, but certainly no more. P.G. Wodehouse 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countershaftcounter Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 If only the money / engines / vans / mechanics thrown at average foreigners was used to help young British riders, we wouldn't need threads such as this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waiheke1 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Fair enough I stand corrected. Though tbh still not sure how relevant Peter Cravens win in 1955 is to the aces ability to bring through young riders in 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
