I'm fully aware of his time at Eastbourne which was a very different experience at the level they were at! He should at least go through the card at Plymouth on 11th then. He was scoring big points at Championship level whilst at Eastbourne. As for last night you could have picked any of the other Six on last nights performances. But you decide to pick an upcoming British youngster Strange. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What these Poole fans don't seem to get is that their team is amazingly good on their own track, they always have been. Experienced riders, even those who have ridden for Poole in the past, can be made to look silly there by the home riders. The Cooks have picked up numerous scalps for example. As for Brennan, if he can crack Poland then whether or not he can ride Poole or the small ones is completely irrelevant, its about riding the big ones well nowadays. If he wants to emulate Woffinden, Lambert and Bewley instead of King, Worrall and Lawson then it's all about Wroclaw rather than Wolves! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, considering riders like Darcy advise the young Aussie riders to do UK first rather than going straight to Poland. Also Jason Crump has said Tai needs to do UK again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just following on previous comments as to his abilities in both Premiership and Championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No coincidence that Lambert and Bewley's development has exploded since they have been riding Extraliga. Whether Tai needs to specifically do Britain again or just another league (Sweden) or maybe both I don't know but I think more racing would help his GP performances although spending time with his family during the week is a pretty good reason not to. The main point though us that mastering Monmore, Armadale or Plymouth won't make Brennan a GP rider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Poole do is peak at the right time, Ben and Zach would never have ridden like that earlier in the season, they have improved massively lately.

Wishing him all the best for the future. I think he’s doing the right thing at the right time….although I know he’s gonna really miss it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlicktrackSandy Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Very well put. Am sure many would agree with that - he has been a great asset to UK Speedway over the years. A high speed Ulle was always great to watch and gave his all. Like many great riders though - serious injuries have blighted their careers and with Ulle the last two seasons in particular have maybe signalled to him that it was time to bow out gracefully. Always enjoyed his races with Glasgow, Peterborough and others before. He might actually make a good T.V. pundit in future like Tony Rickardsson, Sudden Sam and Chris Louis as he had a wealth of experience behind him ? Happy retirement and thanks for the thrills ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diablo Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Good luck to Ulle & he was a good racer around ashfield & top bloke. Thats the first of the 3 riders I've said that wont be back at Glasgow next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 With riders like Ulrich you always do have a feeling that this might be the first of at least a couple of retirements.... He certainly has seen the inside of too many hospitals, but he also certainly entertained the fans far more than most with his all action riding style, and never give up attitude... Hope he finds whatever he does in retirement fulfilling and he enjoys it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelinho Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 The others I understand the reasoning - although I’d ask what you think Craig would do, given I reckon Glasgow would like him back based on his average - but why wouldn’t Hume be back? No one seemed disappointed in him? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted October 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 I've come out of hiding to put my thanks to ulle for his time with the stripes. Might only have been 2 half seasons but endeared himself with the fans quickly during that time and was for more success than I for one ever thought he would be. Best wishes for the next stage of your life hope make a full recovery from the injuries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting what Glasgow do if no Basso or Cook, they have a higher average than any of Poole's top 3! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
