So crescent girl is dick barrie?

Is that suggesting that Cairns doesnt 'go about his racing quietly'?

Thought he looked a decent prospect at one time. Did he quit speedway?

I do think nowadays riders don’t really go through the hard yards like they use to,the fact is for everyone that really makes it (top 5 in world) there are a couple of hundred that fail, there are some really exceptional talents in speedway who were always going to make it like zmarzlik and bewley and then there are others like gollob and Pedersen who went that extra mile to make it but on the whole 99% just forge a league career which is no bad thing but my original point to this is you have to ride the struggle and get through it because it will come when you’re up against it and nothing goes right and the world is to blame and that experience will help you get through it,speedway is a mind game, the head on your shoulders is as important as the head on your engine, I’ve watched both rushden and cearns and indeed bickley, they all have the talent,Rushden seems the most natural on a bike but all 3 seemed from the outside looking in to have had the their career so far on the crest of a wave but the moment you take that to the serious stuff and three others want your peice of track it’s a whole new world and unless you are headstrong it’s a harsh one, good luck to both cearns and rushden and hope bickley makes a comeback too 

Think most long term fans could name a dozen” superstars “at 16 over the years who just never hit the heights.Thats speedway.
