Chrisdonnelly Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 No idea where this rubbish about tai has come from. Absolutely no chance tai will be riding in the UK. Do you really think he’ll risk himself riding against very inexperienced riders? He has had some nasty injuries over the last few years wouldn’t be surprised if he just does Poland next year 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 It would be excellent if British racing can get Tai back in the league for the full season and hopefully additional sponsorship can be found to make the deal happen. Tai and his family are having a new custom built house built at present in the UK as his daughter is due to start school in September so he will be UK based when he can. My understanding is that Tai did let Wolves know of his intentions to return to UK and what sort of deal he was looking for, They decided against it as did another Northern PL club but BV believe that they can raise some additional sponsorship and that he would attract extra fans . BV fits in well to Tai’s schedule as can fly in on Monday from Wrocław his UK full time mechanic is based in North Derbyshire so close by as well 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyderd Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 If Belle Vue can pull this one off, I would imagine season ticket sales will shoot up. Could this be why they haven't gone on sale yet.????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If and when they announce the team then people can still buy season tickets in there droves 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardest league, but also the best and most experienced riders in the world, our league might not be as tough as Poland, but we don't see as many bad injuries to riders whilst racing.

Though I'd highlight the important part for you. Nearly every time averages are never ammended except exceptional circumstances, i.e. if a rider has been out the league with a 4.00 but is now a well established GP rider. Woffinden being around the 7.00 ave will not have his average altered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCookie Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Whatever team you support, if you think the BSPL raising Woffinden's average so he can't return to Britain would be right then you need your head checked. Nothing should allow this opportunity to be passed up. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn’t reduce crumps average after he’d been retired for 7 years so can’t imagine they’ll be arsed changing tai average the other way either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
