f-s-p 832 Posted July 28, 2017 Vaculik needs to change his.. He's won a GP this year. Maybe its more about learning to use the engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 20,997 Posted July 28, 2017 He's won a GP this year. Maybe its more about learning to use the engine. Can't believe you have got into a conversation with that guy!!!! Your standards are falling or is it lonely in Finland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted August 13, 2017 SEEMS that many of this year's SGP riders have been changing tuners of late with seemingly Peter Johns going out of fashion after so much success with the likes of Hancock, Holder and Woffinden, all of whom won World titles using his engines. Â Woffinden is the latest to switch to Flemming Gravesen, as did Freddie Lindgren with the GMs he used on Saturday. Lindback is another on Gravesen stuff. Â No doubt Peter will come back into favour as soon as one of his riders starts winning again although currently there are not too many of them left in the biggest shop window of all, the SGP.

False dawn 2,298 Posted August 13, 2017 Rosco described the current situation as an engine tuner merry go round. Speedway riders without a sense of loyalty? Whatever next? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
