Baldyman 6,243 Posted February 6, 2018 If he thinks foxhall is grippy after a meeting...he gonna love it early part of a meeting. He has got some great results in his junior days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,246 Posted February 7, 2018 Probably the most interesting newbie this year. I can't see there being any middle ground and he will either be rated or slated. From what i hear he doesn't make too many friends on the Longtrack scene and certainly won't be afraid to mix it although could be the first to fence a team mate? I assume from the article that he is planning to have 2 bikes in the UK & 2 in Germany if he is flying between? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted February 7, 2018 A bit of an eye opener on the first days racing though...it won't get any different from the German tracks than lakeside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
