Debbi Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) After the incident at Lezno last night will Tai be able to take part in the Speedway World Cup. the fan has breached the area separating the home (Lezno) and away (Wrocław) fans. He is clearly happy that his team have won and stopped the Wrocław winning streak. I know we can’t hear what the fan is chanting and that family and friends could have been in that section, however, Tai decided to take him out rather than get security (which is what one of the riders looks to have done). I don’t see how this is defendable and wonder if the Polish league will reprimand him, but more alarming is the fact that footage exists and if the fan wishes to pursue criminal charges there isn’t a lot to argue especially as Tai has discussed MMA fighting and his hope to get into it when he finishes riding. https://twitter.com/twiterzuzlowy/status/1682501134680748036?t=YIe-7Edo9Lv5rZqRCNiWUA&s=19 Edited July 22, 2023 by Debbi Spelling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) Dont think much will come out of it. The fan were somewhere he wasnt supposed to be. I don't think Tai will or should get a ban. Edited July 22, 2023 by Ghostwalker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instinct took over and a rider (Tai) took the perpetrator down. Security didn't do their job and the rider should be applauded for de-escalating a terrifying situation. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R87 Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Should face a long ban and a criminal assault charge. Despicable behaviour from someone who should no better. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattB Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Tai will probably get a rocket from the authorities and get told not to do it again. Doubt he'll get anything more than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Have looked at the video several times, the supporter's arms looks well functioning when security takes him away. The supporter continue to wave the scarf with his left arm and uses the right arm to try free hinself from security. Hardly something you would manage with a broken arm. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technik Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 This I assume happened at a domestic meeting in Poland. This will be for in the first instance for the clubs involved to deal with then possibly the PZM. as it is not an FIM event then I don't believe they will be required as the national rules should be used. If the supporter is in an area he shouldn't be then possibly the club he supports may be in a tight spot. But whatever happens I can't see it affecting Tai representing team GB at the upcoming events in Poland 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) The incident from another view. You clearly see how the man waves his arns aaround after he got up. There is no way that that man has a broken arm.9 https://fb.watch/lXIclkeBh4/ Edited July 22, 2023 by Ghostwalker 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Bit silly from Woffy tackling him from behind though could have ended much worse.The other riders weren’t concerned with the fan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debbi Posted July 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) How many times have we witnessed riders racing with broken collar bones/wrists and finding out the following day it’s broken?! Not saying it is broken as it was in a news report. I can’t help but think what the reaction to this would be if it had been Nicki P that did this - the internet would have blown up! I think that there has to be some punishment as I have said yes the fan was in an area he shouldn’t be and we don’t know what was said. But you can’t have riders assaulting people like this it sends out the wrong signals. If this happened anywhere else it would not be acceptable.
