Joe Beevers Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I apologise in advance if I am wrong on thia matter but now Tai Woffinden has joined Wolves with Peter Karlsson. Now did I read in the Speedway Star that Peter Karlsson took over as Tai Woffindens manager/mentor in the Grand Prix's from Peter Adams. So the question stands is this the first time that a younger rider and his older manager/mentor will be riding in the same team and even in the same heats. I would think that Fathers and Sons have obviously done this but excluding them, has any rider teamrode with his mentor at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent Vega Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Lee started at Reading in 1995 or 1996 I think. John Davis last season in England was 1992 for Swindon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Beevers Posted August 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Yes, I think Davis quit before 95 didn't he but Whittaker and Simmons sounds plausible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Malcolm Simmons and Paul Whittaker at Hackney in 1986. Also, Paul had his first rides at Barry Thomas's Iwade training track, so I guess you could say he had 2 mentors as team mates that year.
