Baldyman 6,243 Posted April 16, 2023 Strange how he is assessed 5 for team building purposes,,, but can drop to 4 for team building purposes, only in speedway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s what cost him his job at Somerset when he had a meltdown because he was due to be replaced by Jason Doyle as a tac sub - a move which then also cost us winning the league… Not that I’m bitter after all these years and seen my team close down.

Garry1603 353 Posted April 16, 2023 Mark Lemon has got work to do with Wright obviously. Seems very childish based on the comments on here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had Tom at a Nuneaton Speedway Supporters Club meeting last year. Obviously, meeting a rider and listening to him, at length, in interview, doesn't necessarily translate into how he behaves on track. But I have to say, I look forward to the next time I hear him speak with some anticipation. A consummate profession, who demonstrates all the attributes of a future champion (excuse me, a current World Champion). If he rode for a team near me, I'd go and watch him ride. Footnote: Tom declared his devotion to British speedway, in spite of the obvious temptations of those Polish (sometimes) pay masters. I have no axe to grind when it comes to Charles. But reports of any team mates falling out, in such a public way, seems to me to be rather unseemly. Or am I just old fashioned? (or just old?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's one of the best rules they thought of not letting foreigners drop to 3.00, maybe more effective in the Championship but riders like Anders Andersen, Rafal Konopka, Arlo Bugeja - would often get team places ahead of Brits despite their low averages. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was over 4 last year so if there’s any improvement in him he’ll need to be pushing 5. Hume's 12 match rolling ave is now at 3.85. Last year he was the RS now riding at number 6 he gets tougher rides, so can't see him getting back above 4.00 imo Edited April 17, 2023 by szkocjasid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LagutaRacingFan 1,935 Posted April 23, 2023 I can see Torun looking very closely at Emil's current workload. A very poor performance from him today. All of that travelling between the UK and Poland is not helping his Polish league performances. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given he last rode for Ipswich on Thursday & has had 3 days to get ready for Torun, that would be a rediculous excuse for a dissapointing performance!
