You could argue (and I am) that Leigh Adams was a better ambassador for Speedway than the current 5 x World Champion! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartosz Zmarzlik is a great rider, but crucially, does little to help Speedway outside of Poland. Publicity, Marketing etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Publicity, Marketing etc. Probably why he's so good ! just focusses on what he does best and doesn't get involved with outside influences/distractions....rightly/wrongly.... I have no opinion/judgement on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no opinion/judgement on that. Nobody is doubting his ability on a Speedway bike... it's just as a 5 x World Champion he must be one of the worst ambassador's for Speedway ever, generally won't leave Poland, doesn't have the greatest command of the English (world) language etc. You have to wonder how many titles Adams could have won if he was in the same circumstances as Zmarzlik i.e. not having to do 100+ meetings a year to make it pay, no Tony Rickardsson, Jason Crump & Nicki Pedersen at the top of their games, a high proportion of GP's run in his home country.
