Certainly have to really think what you are doing there! And certainly a challenge for an Aussie. Bit like an Anerican riding for Peterborough.

He said he came to Wolves to help him ride smaller and tighter tracks, but is enjoying his time with Wolves. He will go wherever he wants and suits him best next season. I’m sure he will probably have every top flight club after him. No reason why he wouldn’t stay at Wolves either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Flag Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Freddie stayed atWolves to make him a better rider and he ain’t done bad, takes more skill and throttle control to ride a small track not just a fast motor you can ride on the stop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could well be correct, but I can't think of any of the current world's best riders improving their skills at smaller tracks, even Tai left to better his world title chances.

Dan’s ability shone from the word go.... track size made no difference.. He oozes talent.... Dan has had to overcome a mammoth injury this year and no doubts he gave it everything he could. He is the best rider I have seen since the emergence of Peter Collins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this will be the nucleus of the team. Then just fill in the blanks Fricke 8.81 Kurtz 7.54 Bewley 6.31 Lidsey 5.16 Assuming limit will stick at 42.50 it leaves 14.68 for 3 riders Do we go top heavy or get good reserves. I'd take hans on a 5.79 average and possibly keep Etheridge 4.35 leaving 4.54 for the final rider (jordan stewart maybe) Fricke Kurtz Bewley Hans Lidsey Etheridge Stewart Yep add Allen and Holder (jackass) and call it team aus,get rid of lemon (withdrawal depression away from max)and start winning trophies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Bewley has improved his skills riding on the speedway tracks around Europe , whilst Darcy Ward "honed his" by riding around Aussie streets dodging the local police. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tai became World Champion in 2013 when he was Wolves top man, so you are incorrect. This kind of thinking does annoy me a little. Wolves world champions also include Ole Olsen and Sam Ermolenko, it didn't do them any harm (and Hans Nielsen spent his first 4 years there). What you learn on a small track is throttle control and how to turn a bike quickly and easily. Both of these skills are handy on big tracks. Not having a go at you Hyderd, you are generally one of most reasonable posters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, Nikki Pedersen won his 3 World Titles whilst riding at Eastbourne and always said riding there and places like Wolves improved his ability on larger tracks.
