What, more specifically, does he mean? Fixed race nights first & foremost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

old bob at herne bay 828 Posted August 4, 2023 As a falling star I guess he can see easy money on the slick as snot tracks in the UK with a lower standard of riders than say 5 years ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But as Laguta has found out it may not have the host of big stars but British speedway isn’t easy……it’s a far different proposition to the full throttle of Poland. If this season has shown anything it’s probably that Emil is the most naturally gifted technical rider at the moment. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly this, Emil and Laguta are chalk and cheese what of ive seen of them this season, dunno what kind of money their both on but i certainly know who's giving more value for money wk in wk out.

That’s because majority are big tracks now I wouldn't say "better" prepared - I would suggest they are prepared to suit the unstable rocket ships they like to ride ...

old bob at herne bay 828 Posted August 4, 2023 Don’t remember Tai pulling up trees when he last rode in the premier league or whatever it was called when he rode for Wolves.. 7.030 sounds fair to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
