They say that championships aren’t won on your good nights, but instead they’re won on the toughest ones. When things get hard, champions respond.
If that’s true, then Tai Woffinden is just three rounds away from claiming a third world speedway championship because on his hardest night of the season he still managed to take home 12 points and a place on the podium despite not winning any of his races in Gorzow on Saturday.
Tai headed into the weekend with a 17 point lead and his title rivals were only able to shave a point off that in what was a fiercely-contested battle in front of 18,000 beer-fuelled fans who created an insane atmosphere.
