Buxton 2016

Buxton sign an unknown who took up speedway in November? Although so did Bowtell & Hunter and they both did alright last year.

Burton as a 3 pointer leaves the door open for Speight or another dual nationality Aussie with just over 5 points to play with.

Georgie Wood first sat on a speedway bike in January 2015 and he did even better! Got nothing to lose signing an unknown and I prefer that rather than a notorious non improver of a 3pter

That's not entirely true, pretty sure he had ridden training sessions at Iwade.

No it was true! He rode a speedway bike when he was 8 then grasstrack til he was 20 odd then rode the dugards bikes in January I recall a photo on Facebook

Apart from the time he spent on a speedway bike travelling round with Paul Hurry trying to get a speedway place when he was 16.

 

Difference between Wood and the Buxton new boy is that he had loads of experience on very similar machines and what to do when it goes wrong. Laying the bike down when someone has fallen in front of them is a skill / training element that has been sadly lost.

Not sure how you can make this judgment re Ryan at this stage. Everyone has to start somewhere so give the lad a chance. He has plenty of motorcycle experience and just because you have experience of Speedway doesn't necessarily mean you can lay a bike down when required.
