Lefty 1,268 Posted June 11, 2021 Sad news. It's another dent in the Rising Star scheme, especially at Premiership level. Poor tracks and tyre issues can't help confidence. Welcome to Rising Star Replacement (RS/R) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,248 Posted June 11, 2021 All the very best for the future Tom. Been a pleasure knowing and watching your progress. Achieving competitive rides across all 3 leagues is something many dream of. Sadly injuries have taken their toll and potentially even higher heights. Enjoy your retirement and thanks for the memories. I shall miss Bacon rolls from the updates. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieman72 588 Posted June 13, 2021 Must have been a tough decision. Wolves don't have any British riders now. When you look at the number of riders out there there is something going on that's badly wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Buck 65 Posted June 13, 2021 Very sorry to learn that Tom has decided to quit, and really hope that this is only a temporary decision and that it will not be long before we see one of speedway's gentlemen back in action. Very best wishes to you Tom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
