Sum nasty looking marks on his arms alone from injuries (ciclred in red). These lads must carry many disfiguring marks on their bodies from burns, skin grafts & operations etc. Total respect veins in arms.... a sign of body building and fitness regime and low body fat and defined muscles. can also be increased blood pressure and poor circulation. they certainly don't look like speedway injuries? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW Big congrats to Adam Roynon for his great comments about the Poole track and Stadium. It seems that all or certainly most of the riders - not just last night - liked the track as opposed to some of the keyboard warriors on here. PS. MPT should never have tried to compete. He was depriving another rider of a place in the final - or they could have used a guest.............! He should never have been injured, Lawson shouldn't have put him through the fence. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opportunity to get a place in Poland is difficult in the extreme. Brennan has been around for quite a few years now and won’t get to the level of King, Lawson or Wright. He would have broken through by now. Flint certainly won’t. Both championship riders. Brennan will get further than Flint but when you compare them to Polish riders at the same age, well they are well behind the curve. People moaned left right and Center about Poole’s bumpy track, so they took out all the bumps, and now people moan about Poole’s perfectly smooth and fast track. Just perhaps they moan for moanings sake, as it’s Poole. The track was fine last night. There were some great races. Didn’t the Lawson/Batchelor/Wright race thrill? If not, then perhaps the sport is no longer for you? The track is there and allows riders to produce great races, if they wish to go for it. We see it often enough in league meetings here. Just perhaps, riders not in contention were not pushing it as they had nothing to gain? And Riders like Masters, Pickering, King, etc are very hard to catch if they gate? Pretty sure the crowd there last night enjoyed the whole meeting, even if it was too long and drawn out. Blame the ref not the club. Not sure on Flint but Brennan will easily surpass the likes of King and Lawson. Pretty comfortably. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given I clearly stated the majority of top under 21 riders don't become GP regulars this is hardly a helpful example. You should also note that most GP riders don't make it until mid 20s, often peaking in their 30s it is ridiculously premature to form such conclusions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Doyle was still riding championship in his late 20s/ early 30s I'm sure. Some riders bloom later than others totally agree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let everyone make their own judgement. The view was overwhelming at the time that it was unfair riding. The impact on Plymouth, Peterborough and MPT himself has clearly been dramatic.

Lol... you can't just ride through a rider as if he wasn't there, MPT clearly HAD to take avoiding action as Lawson rode straight through him and by the time Lawson DID touch him, however slight, it was only going to end one way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Quite right about Jason Doyle, I remember him being a fairly standard string string for years, then he came on a bundle and is where he is now. But if you want to talk about late Bloomers, look no further than John Louis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
