Total class, even now.

I'm just having a chuckle at the post that claims someone is in Cycle Speedway for the money. Laugh of the year so far. I've put thousands into it with the occasional bit of sponsorship and equipment. Even the top guys who can get good sponsorship will outlay way more than they get back.

There are age categories for most age ranges. And still a class act on a bike.

Glad you see you get out the house from time to time. Presuming it's permitted you are allowed out. Couldn't care less about that press release happening or not. It's obvious Joonas is keeping his options open, rightly so. You would have to be a fool to believe that Joonas only wants to ride wolves next year. You can't believe a word they say, In the presence of Sam Masters or not.

I'm referring to the public releases. I've had seasons of watching KK pootling round to know what unprofessional looks like. But in response I agree Joonas gave the game away with his performance. The tweet said to be back with Wolves.

For many a year now yes.

BWitcher beat me to it. Both parties acting professionally.

I'd agree, with Ellis a very close 2nd.

Nobody is confirmed in the play offs yet.

Bless, if can't win resort to personal attacks. No surprise.

All sounds exciting. And the run up to the play offs with places still at stake will generate even more interest. Long live the play offs!

we know why, it's called attention seeking. It's ended as far as I'm concerned. You had your conversation, no one is saying you didn't. Let's enjoy the Wolves asset while he is here. Jog on.

Maybe those thoughts might be reflected by the governing bodies in time. Also riders who have a Swedish or polish average higher than 7 should also automatically have their EL average converted to minimum 8 to ensure no class riders get used on false EL averages including the likes of THJ who gets wheeled out from time to time on a low 5+. These are easy to implement I'd imagine so long as some promoters don't complain they may lose the use of a valuable 'ringer'.

And you would be saying completely the opposite if he had signed for Poole for certain. The rules on this are crystal clear. Tai has a valid average. The rules state you have to have 3 seasons out to get re-assessed. Tai has had less the 2 seasons out. No question. I can only imagine if KK had ridden here last year and dropped his average considerably (in line with his 2015 Polish and Swedish) to say about 5 and Poole wanted to use him on that average this season. It would be fair to expect him to be re-assessed to 8 then??? Poole would rightly be able to profit of that average under the current rules and there may be an argument that the ruling is wrong. Honest answer please, would you be happy to use a GP standard rider on a 5 point average?

We thought the same in 2014 but we all know what happened there. Whilst the hype is warranted about Tai coming back to boost my club and the league and sport as a whole I still have memories of that dreadful season and think there is a hint that unless he is 100% committed we may have 50% like in 2014. Hopefully this short spell we will see the real Tai, not the pale imitation of 2014. I'm taking nothing for granted yet!

I've removed the other guff to get to the point. There is no fact. You say you spoke to Woffy in the presence of Masters. That is your fact. What you were told is not fact.It WILL be fact IF what he told you becomes true. Until then it's just words which as we all know are rarely truthful just a rider telling a fan what they want to hear. No doubt you will reply with more guff in an attempt to add (and fail) credence to the debate. I called your story Jackanory much in the same way that what Harris and Garrity said was equally so. I'm sure you will dissect and re-explain to try and reinvent again. Perhaps you could find something else productive to fill your time with? Just a thought.

It was never in question. You made some big noise about some conversation you had in the presence of Sam Masters. No doubt he will be an Ace for the 2017 season. Safrican american.

Check how many updates I've done this year for your answer.

They are all economic with the truth, even Poole promotion and riders!

Well said.

that's the spirit , keep telling yourself that. I'm referring to an interview he gave on the centre green to the fans. And we are happy with what he is saying

Don't you get it?? Even if he said it ,( I don't care if he did or didn't anyway why would I? ) it doesn't mean it has any realistic chance of happening. I told you Bomber said to me he was considering riding for Wolves, has he ever signed for us?? Enough said. It's a little sad you are hanging onto a conversation as some sort of gospel. Do you honestly believe he will ride for a Friday night track Belle Vue next season considering he has said he won't do a full season again in the EL?? Let's see who has egg on their face in March when Woffy apparently lines up for the Aces for the 2017 season.

Jackanory story. Tai has no interest in racing in the UK for a full season. Not quite sure you get that. My point was riders tell the fans what they want to hear. of course if you had a conversation with tai and you are quoting it as fact then it don't get any weirder. But of course Tai will be riding for Belle Vue next season because he told you. Guess you won't look a fool if that happens next season but until then........ Back in the real world Tai signs for his parent club and only EL club he wants to ride for, and won't be back for a full season next year with anyone. Keep telling yourself you have a valid argument.

I remember Garrity saying he would love to ride for wolves and watch out next season 2 seasons ago.....then sign for Coventry lolThe riders will tell you want they want you to hear. Bomber told me he loved riding at Wolves and said 'let's see' when asked if he might ride for us the following year. I'd have been a fool to believe him! You would have to be totally gullible to quote it as a fact that they will sign for you.
