Gemini 4,894 Posted October 20, 2012 ....T.N.T...... Had a bad couple of years ? Moved up from a 7.2 rider to just under nine points a match, taken over the #1 race jacket at Wolves ahead of Freddie Lindgren and has an average a point higher than any other Brit ...... I'd say apart from injuries Tai has had a decent 2011 and 2012. I read his post about having a bad couple of years to mean Chris Harris not Tai. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 8,053 Posted October 20, 2012 He's a trier and thats all you can ask for you keyboard warriors So we dare to put our opinion on here,its not excatly a crime,Woffinden is luck to be giving this wild card,on form alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 20,964 Posted October 20, 2012 Woffinden might have been injured for the GP qualifiers,but he wasn't injured for the Cardiff GP qualifier ,which just happened to be at his home track ......and he failed to get through!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
June01 269 Posted October 20, 2012 The irony now being that Sky won't be showing the 2013 series. Is that fact? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Undercover Elephant 50 Posted October 20, 2012 I use to back Tai on everything. Riding for GB, when he would swear on TV & his "they ride like girls" comment. He would get smashed by all and sundry but I defended him & supported him. Then he joined Twitter and OMG. Banged on about how great home was (Australia) dissed almost everything British / English, then topped that all off with he may not ride in Britain if he get a GP pick. How on earth is any passionate Brit meant to react???? I have my reasons and would happily not see him in a GB race bib again. I still believe if he makes the top 8 in the GP's he'll be riding for Australia in the 2014 World Cup This post does ring true. Some people have short memories on some of Tai's slap dash comments. The way I see it now, Tai has plenty to prove next season in more ways than one. Lets see if he can prove people wrong and get the job done on a consistant basis.

T.N.T. 355 Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) Wonder if some peoples thoughts on Tai may change if he ends up riding for them next season ? Both Tai and MJJ are quality riders and are on the boarderline of being top 15 ..... but who outside of the GP Series next year (barMJJ) is better than Tai, Kasprzak, Zagar etc ?

iris123 20,964 Posted October 21, 2012 sadly i would say at the moment even in GB Tai is still behind Bomber and Scott.Both of them failed in the GPs,so i see no reason why Tai will fair any better.Time will tell,but i don't look good,because if Tai fails who do we choose then????? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arnieg 3,634 Posted October 21, 2012 The funny thing about this whole debate is that if wild cards didn't exist then none of this would have happened. The 15 best riders in the world would be there off their own backs and that alone. Er no. .... wouldn't Ales Dryml, Leon Madsen, Troy Batchelor and the winner of a run-off between Andersen, Ljung, Vaculik and Buczkowski be there. (I know in practice that with no wild cards the GP challenge field might look a bit different - but the point remains a valid one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
