Speedway Grand Prix 2022: 'Best event on the calendar' - Tai Woffinden looks to recover 'really bad' season in Cardiff

Tai Woffinden is hoping to put a «really bad» start to the Speedway Grand Prix season behind him and climb back up standings starting in Cardiff. The Welsh capital welcomes the riders back for round six of action after a mid-season break and three-time world champion Woffinden is hoping to improve on his current sixth place standing at close the gap on championship leader Bartosz Zmarzlik. Ad With five races down and five races to go, Woffinden sits 28 points behind his Polish rival but encouraged by his performances with club side Wroclaw in the PGE Ekstraliga, is hoping to lay down his championship credentials with a strong performance in the latest round of action at the Principality Stadium.

“About three weeks ago, we got back from Tenerife — a family holiday slash training camp — and since we've been back, I've just been refreshed and revitalised and been banging in some big scores. So I'm looking forward to going to Cardiff. “There's a lot that we're working on.

Like always, it's forever changing, and we've got really good speed right now. I can't see that changing for the second half of the season, and you know, the championship still open. “If the guys in front of me can build a gap in the first half of the season, there's no reason why we can't drag that back in the second half of the season.” Ellis given wild card for British Grand Prix in Cardiff after British final abandoned Australia beat Great Britain to win first Speedway
