When you have brakes it’s a completely different mindset

Not all speedway races are close

Before speedway Ashton was a very talented MX rider as was his Father. But the biggest difference in MX is the best bikes & equipment are only available to very few & if your not one of those it's very hard to be at the front when the flag falls.

His move to speedway was very successful in the early stages but I fear he moved up to quick & the pressure of needing to score his points was a massive weight to carry rather than learn the skills at a lower level to begin with.

I agree the lad was known to back out of a contest but if he was first from the gate & couldn't see anyone at the first turn he was as fast as a butchers dog.

But in Flat track his skills from both MX & speedway will benefit him as was proven last weekend & to top it all he has a works Ducati GB machine. I may have been a bit cautious when I said he would be top 6 at the end of the season.
