FAST GATER Posted yesterday at 06:11 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:11 AM (edited) He is one of the all time greats of the sport no one can deny that ,if he was 25yrs old then I could understand his mindset of carrying on but IMO he will never be the rider he was . Edited yesterday at 06:11 AM by FAST GATER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds On Posted yesterday at 07:59 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:59 AM some of the posts on this topic are crass and not what i thought this forum was all about, pretty sad state of affairs if I'm honest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamish McRaker Posted yesterday at 11:20 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 11:20 AM He probably has a high pain threshold. Physically and mentally different gravy from the standard human. Bless his cotton socks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurRudge Posted yesterday at 11:27 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 11:27 AM Lots of people on the socials saying he needs to call it a day, surely that is his decision to make? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teromaafan Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago Woffy is a very determined character and speedway is like drug to him. Whilst I agree that it’s his choice when he decides to quit but that of course is on the assumption that there are teams out there willing to take a risk on him and are prepared to offer the payment he would demand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago It's not just up to Woffinden to retire, it's also the choice of the clubs. If they're willing to put contracts in front of him and the numbers are decent, why would he say no? There are always at least 2 options available.

Hamish McRaker Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago What sort of part does insurance play in that sort of thing? Do riders become uninsurable after a certain point? Adam Roynon kept on coming back and back, maybe still riding occasionally now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phannan Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago He’s like that geezer on Netflix who climbed  that tower in Taiwan or somewhere and also El Capitan in the US , without ropes or any safety equipment. Just bare handed. He has a condition that doesn’t recognise fear so isn’t scared of any consequences. Woffy probably has the same. Different breed these speedway riders . Other than the odd climber of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldPitGate Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago Yep he's probably England's best ever rider but i'm another who wish he would give it up and move onto something new he's no longer the force he was which is to be expected , but these riders have incredible grit as Woffy shows. Chris Holder is another example should have probably had 2-3 world titles but two terrible crashes and what happened to Darcy pulled him back from the absolute top level. and like Tai in the UK he can be 60% of the rider he was at his best and still beat 90% of the opposition in his sleep. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackett Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago Tai is built differently. That crash was simply down to mechanical failure , defendin 2nd place easil and then engine goes exciting the turn. Tai will be back he has proved all wrong before and as long as he wishes to carry on he will do so. One thing we all know he is very strong willed and as discussed he wasn't at fault. Speedy recovery Tai.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Tai's family need to step in and convince him to retire, I love Tai and he's one of my all time favourites but somebody above is trying to tell him something with all of these broken bones and injuries year after year. I'm a believer in fate and the signs from above are telling him to call it a day before it's too late. Tai's got nothing left to prove, Whether you love him or hate him personality wise, He's a multiple World Champion and one of the Best British Riders of all time and nobody can ever take that away from him. Common sense has to prevail instead of chasing something that isn't a reality anymore, The reality is that Tai can't get through a full season anymore and it's just broken bones after broken bones and surgery after surgery with no end in sight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
