Is Woffinden The Best 1st/2nd Bend Rider In The World?


Recommended Posts

On the same note would Tai do the same on Bombers ? ...not knocking him for it as the way you set up your bikes is a massive part of the sport .

 

No I doubt he would, it's all about the set up as you say but also the ability to ride the bike. Have been at league meetings where reserves have had to borrow a quicker bike and they have struggled

I believe Emil/ Ward are on par with Tai the three best riders in the world for me the big difference is Tai has a title in the bag.Therefore the pressure is off Tai, he has won a title also what i like about him he is willing to lose rounds like last night doing nothing stupid and meaning he still has a nine point lead to protect.

Agree with that Sid, although Nick P is still up there. Like you say Tai is now showing a level if maturity that Ward is yet to show

If Emil can get back in i believe those three with Janowski and maybe young Pawlicki they are going to boss the series for a nice few years.Ward i knew he was a talent but seeing him the other night at the abbey was awesome.If he can get set up, organise his schedule and team he has everything in my book the other night making Magic look so slow he had real speed was a real eye opener for me.

My 7 year old shows levels of maturity that Ward is yet to show...

Of the current riders I'd pick Woffinden, Hancock & Ward. In any sport you get guys who always seem to have time, make the difficult look easy, they see the bigger picture. Crumpy & Rickardsson in recent times definitely had that same gift too.

Greg is still the best gater IMHO, with Nicki P not far behind (but Nicki definitely the better racer of the two, though greg did pull off some passes in Malilla)

Tai, Emil and Darcy the best racers, but of those Tai by far the better gater (and as per the OP, the best bend 1 and 2 rider at present), and would add that Tai seems to have the quickest bikes in the world right now - whenever you see Tai start to pull level on the straights, he invariably wins the race to the next corner, and once in the lead is almost uncatchable.

As an overall package, Tai first with Nicki, Emil and Darcy not far behind, followed by Greg and Puk.

AT this moment in time I would go for Tai, Emil and Darcy ... of the three think Tai is a better starter than the other two which gives him the edge.

Tai can throw in a stinker from the gate though. Emil is probably the more consistent but not as good on a good day.

 

Its actually a real shame that we have no way of telling who is the best because all 3 are not in the GPs because of Ward being a wally and someone in the Sayfutdinov camp being a wally.
