He was the one who identified and developed a different riding style of the modern lay downs more than anyone before him and anyone since, turning the bike less but identifying the option of almost riding 2 short straights on the bands to get his wheels in line sooner and riding the optimum lenghts of the actual straights. Some of those GP's where he would literally vanish off the camera right up against the air fence and reappear with just incredible speed. He was the fulcrum that made Polish Speedway what it is today and carried the development very much on his back. That he should have to live a life now in constant pain is an abolute tragedy. Fantastic post, agree entirely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Bloke Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago Micheal Lee. Watched him from when he was 14, flying around Saddlebow Road after meetings. Even at that age his times were very close to race winning times in the meeting that night. Don't think i've seen a more talented rider at such a young age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw him given "demonstration" rides as a fifteen year old at Cowley against another fifteen year old Colin Richardson...Colin won! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
