osn Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Following is on Tonys homepage: - Jag har tagit ett beslut att vila i ytterligare ett par veckor vilket tyvärr medför att jag missar både viktiga liga matcher samt GP tävlingen i Lonigo. He says that he will rest a few weeks more, and will miss som local swedish matches and the Lonigo GP First reserve is dane Hans Andersen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PanthersChamp06 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Yep heard Hans would be in this, another chance to get 25 points and move him up to 50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbin' Along Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Personally I think it's a poor show - it seems TRick has given up this year. First he was pants when he rode for Oxofrd and then he's just not been at the races in the GPS. Still, it does give Hans a chance for a few more points - at this rate he'll have more than Rico and Scotty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PanthersChamp06 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 TRick wasnt pants at all for Oxford. Just seems now he wants a quiet retirement. I can see Hans finishing abover quite a few riders as he is here at Lonigo and a WC in another one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) Can he qualify automatically if he gets enough points? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mark Loram did not in 99/2000. He had to qualify by right. Obviously BSI could do the decent thing and give him a permanent wildcard. Edited July 24, 2006 by SCB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Know Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I think tony should have gone out on top last year instead of turning into the joke he is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyinRyan Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 They say you are only as good as your last ride. He is not a joke, he IS a legend. He has though made a mistake he should have retired last season, I imagine he wanted to but was talked out of it. I think he should quit now while (semi) ahead.

SCB Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 They say you are only as good as your last ride. I think he should quit now while (semi) ahead. Well he won his last ride, so if eh did quit now he'd quit as a winner. However, I have this funny feeling he'll win the last GP of the year and go out with a bang. I hope he does and I'm not even a TR fan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beercellar Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 (edited) Yeh id like to see trick win one maybe two gps and finnish on a high, as he is still one of the greatest riders ( only a few) every,and they dont come along very often. hes ov in retirement mod at the moment. good luck trick for the future if that is it ,you been very entertaining over the years, and your be missed in the speedway world. who knows,he may retire like todd,then come back after a while. im not even a trick fan either.

Squirelnutkins Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Maybe Tricky shouldn't have been riding this season if he is not upto scratch! Think the fans have expected alot from him this year which he hasnt been able to give! Maybe your right Beercellar, maybe he should retire and then come back after for a while, he might come back better then but i think he has other things to concerntrate on .... His health, Rallying (If he is going into that). No, you dont see many riders like Tricky! Good Luck whatever your decision Tricky! YOu have entertained us throught out your career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osn Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 It's now on SGP homepage: Sweden’s Tony Rickardsson, who is suffering from double vision when riding, has been ordered by doctors to rest for 14 days and therefore has withdrawn from Saturday’s FIM Italian Speedway Grand Prix at Lonigo (29th July). Rickardsson fully expects to return to the Grand Prix Series for the FIM ES Scandinavian Speedway Grand Prix in Malillia, Sweden, on 12 August 2006. Danish GP winner Hans Andersen, who also captained Denmark’s gold medal winning Speedway World Cup team last weekend, will take Rickardsson’s place at Lonigo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he does and I'm not even a TR fan! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That would certainly be a fantastic way to end his career - ending Gollob's 4 year winning run at Bydgoszcz. But, I think he'll struggle to raise his game - he's just drifted this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
