screm 8,057 Posted June 27, 2023 Woffinden knows his World Championship hopes are over and his SGP days numbered, so he needs a couple of seasons or so with an easy pay night. The British league will do that, he just needs a daft club to give him the daft money. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spot on, has not wanted to know this country the last few years, not even bothered with the British final for god knows how long, now he wants to top up his pension pot... 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He had then Exeter promoter Peter Oakes change the Falcons race nite from Monday to Friday, that sealed the deal . Not Barry Briggs, Anders Michanek, Ole Olsen, etc, etc could believe Ivan & Oakesy managed it, many still can't to this day . Good news for British Speedway tho if Tai does return....

HGould 2,213 Posted June 27, 2023 If Wolves don't run it would be interesting. I wonder as he's done a few GB meetings there if he might be the focal point of Glasgows long mooted step up? He's done coaching for GB Academy at Leicester and close to 2 Airports and his home base. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I think he may end up at Oxford with Sam if we not riding next year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4BM 116 Posted June 28, 2023 Woffinden is definitely on the downward slope, knows he’s been left behind at world level now and will need a ‘pick’ is he’s to continue in SGP (Monster Joe will be pleading his case to keep their sponsored riders in the competition), he’s simply using the UK as an easy option, if he came in on an 8 (ish) average I can see him maintaining that, he’d be well behind the likes of Doyle, Sayfutdinov, Bewley, Kurtz, Holder, Musielak, Fricke to name a few in the averages. Gone are the days when he’ll add numbers to the gate 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course he was nowhere to be seen and now sees the UK as a top up to his pension pot now his star has waned.

Does it really matter? Who cares. You could say Emil is only here cos he’s not in the GP’s. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
