Debbi 111 Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) After the incident at Lezno last night will Tai be able to take part in the Speedway World Cup. the fan has breached the area separating the home (Lezno) and away (Wrocław) fans. He is clearly happy that his team have won and stopped the Wrocław winning streak. I know we can’t hear what the fan is chanting and that family and friends could have been in that section, however, Tai decided to take him out rather than get security (which is what one of the riders looks to have done). I don’t see how this is defendable and wonder if the Polish league will reprimand him, but more alarming is the fact that footage exists and if the fan wishes to pursue criminal charges there isn’t a lot to argue especially as Tai has discussed MMA fighting and his hope to get into it when he finishes riding. https://twitter.com/twiterzuzlowy/status/1682501134680748036?t=YIe-7Edo9Lv5rZqRCNiWUA&s=19 Edited July 22, 2023 by Debbi Spelling 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) Dont think much will come out of it. The fan were somewhere he wasnt supposed to be. I don't think Tai will or should get a ban. Edited July 22, 2023 by Ghostwalker 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Instinct took over and a rider (Tai) took the perpetrator down. Security didn't do their job and the rider should be applauded for de-escalating a terrifying situation. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R87 476 Posted July 22, 2023 Should face a long ban and a criminal assault charge. Despicable behaviour from someone who should no better. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MattB 177 Posted July 22, 2023 Tai will probably get a rocket from the authorities and get told not to do it again. Doubt he'll get anything more than that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted July 22, 2023 Have looked at the video several times, the supporter's arms looks well functioning when security takes him away. The supporter continue to wave the scarf with his left arm and uses the right arm to try free hinself from security. Hardly something you would manage with a broken arm. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Technik 491 Posted July 22, 2023 This I assume happened at a domestic meeting in Poland. This will be for in the first instance for the clubs involved to deal with then possibly the PZM. as it is not an FIM event then I don't believe they will be required as the national rules should be used. If the supporter is in an area he shouldn't be then possibly the club he supports may be in a tight spot. But whatever happens I can't see it affecting Tai representing team GB at the upcoming events in Poland 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) The incident from another view. You clearly see how the man waves his arns aaround after he got up. There is no way that that man has a broken arm.9 https://fb.watch/lXIclkeBh4/ Edited July 22, 2023 by Ghostwalker 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
