He isnāt everyoneās cup of tea, but I love him and heāll always be my favourite speedway rider.
Charisma, personality to burn, controversial, outspokenā¦everything speedway needs and is sadly lacking in the Grand Prix at the moment. His absence in the current series is a huge void they will struggle to fill.
Most important of all though, he was bloody quick on a speedway bike and is our greatest ever rider.
While Iām gutted Iāll never see him race again, Iām happy he has retired safe and sound and on his own terms. His body has cried enough and he at least seems at peace with his decision.
He can now spend time with his wonderful family and make a name for himself on the DJ scene.
Thanks for the memories Tai, weāre going to miss you. ā¤ļø
