Tsunami 10,219 Posted January 11, 2020 Anybody know what Adam's plans are, if any, are for 2020. Is he fit, intending to ride somewhere or part retired. Thought someone might have snapped him up earlier and wondered why not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thought someone might have snapped him up earlier and wondered why not. I recall his brief spell with Sheffield when he won loads of credit for his sheer guts and can-do attitude. Considering his seemingly endless run of bad luck I'd like to see him having some part to play in the sport. If he's fit and willing to go, someone should give him a place. If nothing else, he could have a role in team management. One of speedway's unsung heroes in my book. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunner85 603 Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) There is a time when a rider should retire gracefully.... Adam has well past that point... apart from perhaps the old hand in the NL trophy in order to pass on his experience to the young guns Edited January 17, 2020 by Gunner85 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
