‘I don’t care what people think’ – Three-time Speedway GP champion Tai Woffinden on being the 'best' ahead of new season

Tai Woffinden harboured ambitions to match Tony Rickardsson and Ivan Mauger’s record haul of six Speedway GP world titles as soon as he collected his first back in 2013. The 31-year-old said as much to fellow riders Greg Hancock, Jason Crump, Nicki Pedersen and Chris Holder ahead of the season-opening New Zealand Speedway GP in 2014.

Crouching down into the muddy soil I try best as I can to catch the tense faces of the young soldiers deployed across the coniferous woodland, passing a hidden tank, pausing behind some rocks for a few seconds, then silently moving further towards a trench that separates a small ridge from a large open meadow. It’s like a choreographed war-ballet, every single fighter fitting smoothly into the well-trained mechanism of their squad. Suddenly some dark silhouettes appear in the grassland ahead. Squad leader Benjamin commands: “Open Fire!”
