Poole V Belle Vue Bt Sports 26/6/17
sommelier replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Regarding Darcy, yes agree with you was an amazing talent, but I have always questioned how he coped under pressure. I've watched Darcy all over the UK & Europe & never for one minute questioned his ability, but his record in GP finals is not that great, so many times he would buckle in SF, When he came back from his ban for Swindon, yes I thought he was a better rider, yet when Swindon travelled to Poole, bumper crowd, did he handle the pressure, nope. Would he have over come this, we will never know. But for talent he was right up there. The only rider in my era who was more NATURALLY talented was Gollob, who IMO could do things on a bike like no other! -

Yep I hear what you say regarding Cook, but will jump to his defence that he is a totally different rider this year, far more relaxed on the bike. Was amazed at the BF when he missed the gate but no panic set in. Big call to make the GP, but I personally if he failed to qualify, a wild card would not be wasted on him! -
Would put money on it, you will not see him at Lynn next year
-
He will ride where its most lucrative for him, this after all is his living

Injured riders over the years have always picked & choose what meetings to ride in, I could fill page after page giving you examples!

sommelier replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Well I tell you what, at Leicester last Saturday in all the years I've been following speedway, I have NEVER seen Poole supporters in such low numbers. If I'm honest, I cant ever recall seeing you at any away meetings -
Nick will be at Berwick on Saturday
