I'm going to upset you R&R, which is not my intention....

Tai has not said clearly that he's not riding. "That's a wrap" could easily refer to his Polish league season.
Tai has damaged (badly, I admit) his clutch hand. I'm sure I remember occasions in past, when riders have switched their clutch lever to the right and had both the clutch and throttle on the same side. Not ideal, but doable. So I haven't given up hope just yet.

You are not upsetting me - this time at least :)  no way will he risk it - he will earn as much being an additional studio guest for BT as he would in Lublin ;)

As to Tai's record, without checking, is he referring to other British Championships other than the senior one? For example the British U21 Championship. Likewise,  has he won another World Championship

For that I am pleased, really. I acknowledge you are the "Go to" for all things international in the speedway world.

At the risk of opening a can of worms, not everything is done for money.

BTW, I like that picture of Tai on his Twitter account.

[Looks like he's using his index finger to operate the clutch!]

Logically why should he ride ?...the money is poor...the team is dreadfully weak...there is absolutely nothing to be added to his reputation.....he will be a big draw on TV..with "Monster" getting good publicity....put your house on him not riding

Tai wasn't really though was he? He wasnt a top rider in Poland, he was a rank outsider who was almost universally tipped to finish last...

500/1 from what I remember. :t:

I IMAGINE he will be self-isolating if he comes back from Poland.

Good point I forgot about that.    Maybe he'll do a video link if he is wanted.   Sky and BT are using them at the momeht.

Could Tai be involved in the pits as a coach/mentor or are numbers still limited?

But the team (ie pairing) wouldn’t be ‘dreadfully weak’ if Tai rode, you could argue they’d have a decent chance of winning with him.
