Bristol is an amazing city...once had a very good speedway team in a pretty fair stadium. maybe will again one day, who knows.
However, staying in Bristol and coaching it to Cardiff sounds a good idea, but not as good as staying in Romford and getting the c2C to Stratford
A GP series without Emil is not a true World Championship in my opinion.
He and Tai are the best in the world at the moment and they need to be competing against each other.
Hancock 3
Pedersen 3
Gollob 1
Without trawling through stats I can't recall Hancock's and Pedersen's WC podiums, but would not be surprised if they outscored Gollob.
The stats don't lie.
I'm sure he will but first he needs a GP Challenge top 3 finish or a wildcard.
You would need to have a Speedway GP championship and a Speedway World Championship, otherwise you would have 2 different World Champions...a bit like boxing. The top riders would have to be banned from league racing anywhere and the World Championship would have to be the premier event. But then who would want to ride GP?. The only answer is to scrap the GP and revert to the World Final route, but speedway has moved on and it won't happen.
Without recourse to stats...how old is he and how many GP's has he ridden?.
Time should sharpen up his gating and maturity should temper his rashness.
Riding against the best should only spur him on if the natural talent is there.
I agree that if the above do not happen he is unlikely to become World Champion, but I feel he will.
