LagutaRacingFan 1,935 Posted October 21, 2012 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 ?

IMO: Grigorij Laguta, Leon Madsen, Maciej Janowski, Adrian Miedzinski, Patryk Dudek, Bartosz Zmarzlik, Kenneth Bjerre.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulboy 169 Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) 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. Forget being a Wolves fan, coming from a speedway fan then I would say he is there on merit. A near 9 average in Britain and 123+15 points from 15 meetings in the Polish top league ...... not a bad record for a lad who turned just 22 in August MJJ is a great talent and likely to be crowned World U21 Champion and scored a creditable 161+25 from 22 meetings in Poland and scored well in Sweden too ..... but he averaged just 6.54 in England and only really hit double figures three times after moving into the main body of the Panhers team. At 20 years of age his time will come .... but not just yet Sadly my fear is that he may well sit out riding in England next year ...... think a lot may depend on who is backing him finacially as he may need the support of a good British sponsor. As for riding for Team Australia ...... Tai wants that British title and although he is good mates with the Turbo Twins and a number of Aussies, I dont think you will see him switch sides at all. Tai may or may not be riding for Wolves next season ..... he may well ride elsewhere !! ..... but I wish him the best for the GP Series and he knows as weall do that it's going to be very tough as ALL 15 in the Series next year are capable of beating each other ..... but he will give it a good go and may not make the top 8 but he will add some spice to the Series Come off it, he is there because he represents GB, no other reason! No problem with that, if a Brit has to be in he is the only option, although not sure about your averages, I have Harris just behind Woffinden who of course has a massive home advantage to boost his average.

Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) Janusz had his chance and was rubbish even with all his backing annd team. yes, but Tai also had his chance and didn't finish in last place. So you could say that Tai have had his chance too or does that not apply to British riders? Besides JK had a nasty crash in the beginning of the season and it more then the whole season for him to became himself again.

dabbsjoe 149 Posted October 26, 2012 Tai made a lot of mistakes/changes that season in machinery and team. not saying he'll be a world beater next season but he has switched to GM engines now i believe in all countries he rides in which seems to have made him quicker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
