The White Knight 9,039 Posted May 18, 2017 Even if there was someone supposedly better qualified the BSPA are unlikely to put the sort of money required to make a difference. They may not have the money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orion 7,615 Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) We don't know that. The best teachers are those that can communicate and get the necessary information across, not necessarily those that are best at the activity. After all, is Usain Bolt's coach faster then Usain, can Greg Rutherford's coach jump higher? Great point ...as this is the Problem Woffy has ...Because he's a good rider he wants to run sport pick the side etc etc and the moment that does not happen he does not play anymore and his ball gets taken home ..

stevebrum 6,821 Posted May 18, 2017 They may not have the money. If only they would say that and admit they are powerless to stop the rot of British speedway falling further behind the rest of the European powers. At least that would be an honest reason. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New Science 1,059 Posted May 18, 2017 Its interesting that Tai Woffinden quit Team GB's 2017 World Cup Team as early as July 2016 siting differences with the BSPA through a twitter rant. Now the World games is on the horizon, a national team event staged on Woffindens home track in Wroclaw Poland which he quite fancies riding in ,Cue his stance towards Team GB softens a little, not ruling out a return in 2018. He gives it away by saying " I didn't know about the World Games when I made my decision to sit out the World Cup this year. Woffinden is playing a clever game with the BSPA, let me ride in the World games with the false hope I will ride for you the World Cup again. I doubt he will ever ride in the World Cup again and the differences he has with the BSPA will conveniently resurface again. Woffinden says he was always planning to take THE world cup week off to spend a week with his pregnant wife, although he quit Team GB a full 12 months earlier 9 months before his wife was pregnant. Feel sorry for the guys on here who hang on, endorse,believe every word he says ( Gavan, Stevebrum, GiveusaB.etc ) he might be trying to hoodwink the BSPA but he had you at " hello " 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now what will transpire in the future is open to conjecture, that 'year' may well turn into more. Time will tell. Just a couple of quotes From Twitter "Good luck to Team GB in the future ! A lot of you will not understand but true fans will, I aint being mugged off anymore " From Express and Star " But the respect WOFFINDEN has for the Wolves promotion is not mirrored with Great Britain ,a set up he labelled unprofessional in a lengthy and foul mouthed tweet. He's decided not to race in the World Cup this year and wont return to his national team until things change. Doesn't sound like the words of someone who is simply " taking a year out " does it Sorry Bwitcher for leaving you off the list as someone who believes every word that Woffinden says ! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted May 19, 2017 It would be a top post, if it wasn't made up. He clearly stated that he was taking a year out at the time. http://www.motorcyclenews.com/sport/2016/august/speedway-woffinden-to-sit-out-britains-world-team-efforts/ That was posted on 16 Aug 2016. The World Games are being held from 20th to 30th July - eleven months after that interview. Does Woffinden have a different version of a year to every one else? And in case you are in any doubt of his intentions then I'll quote from the interview that you posted the link to. “We’ll see where we are at in 2018 - who knows I may be back for that. Now tell me he isn't just looking after no 1 by wanting to ride in the World Games because it'a a money spinner for him being on his home track. It has stuff all to do with him wanting to ride for Great Britiain. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
