Bryn Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 No Kevin Doolan? No Adam Shields? No Davey Watt? No Jason Lyons? I know Shane Parker is wintering in the UK (hope he doesn't get too cold!) and, perhaps, Lyonsy has much to do before his Testimonial meeting at Mildura, but am surprised particularly at Doolan's omission in particular. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Adam Shields? Enjoying married life too much, perhaps? Jason Lyons? Leaving it to the youngsters? Kevin Doolan? That is a mystery, one of the best in the PL this year, along with Davey Watt? One of the best in the EL. Have to ask his Team Manager when I catch up with him. Todd Wiltshire? Could it be a final farewell to the best Gater of all time? I shall never forget him teaching his bike to fly at Reading this year (SWC). Good Questions, Bryn, bu**ered if I know the answers!

Good Questions, Bryn, bu**ered if I know the answers! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> At least Crumpie is there this year .. should be a real battle with Adams, who's had it fairly easy in recent times . No Sully either . Would prefer to not see Steady and Scottyboy included , as it's the AUSSIE championship . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozyace Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Will be interesting to see who will be the four qualifiers for the series. My tips for what there worth are (in no particular order) Cory Gathercole Trev Harding Rob Ksiezak James Holder Great to see young Ryan Sedgman in the field, he will be another young Aussie i can see the English clubs climbing over themselves to sign in the future. Good luck to Kane Munro also, an ex AFL footballer who is having a hoot riding speedway. It's a hell of a change of scenery for Munners and it will be an eye opener for him to be on tour with the rest of the boys from Perth ie. Johno, Lee Redmond etc....sadly not this black duck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 So if Corey Gathercole is not considered good enough to ride in the Aussie final, just how is he getting a work permit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozyace Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 How we gonna cope without you Ozyace? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You mean how are i going to cope, i might be able to make Gillman and Mildura but it's a big might. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sir Lunchalot Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 So if Corey Gathercole is not considered good enough to ride in the Aussie final, just how is he getting a work permit? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because he won the WA state title a few weeks ago ?

BigFatDave Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 (edited) Good to see Troy Batchelor keeping hisself busy, popping up to QLD to take out the Qld Solo title at Pioneer Park from Mitchell Davey, Josh Grajczonek and the unlucky Scott Smith, who led for three laps before totalling the Donk. And in the NSW Juniors latest Sam Masters (of Danish under 16's Champs fame, keep yer eye on this lad) won the third round from Taylor Poole.

BigFatDave Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) From WORLDSPEEDWAY: The BILLY THE KID Cup. The five round 2007 Linddales Labour Hire Australian Motorcycle Speedway Championship Series will see the best placed rider under the age of 23 awarded the inaugural Billy Sanders Trophy. Sanders was a legend in Australian Speedway Motorcycling – taking no less than six Australian Speedway Championships and twice stood on the podium in the World Speedway Championships. He passed away in tragic circumstances in England in 1985. Sanders enjoyed rockstar-like status in Sydney during the 1970’s when he was at his absolute peak. The venue that shot Billy to prominence – the Sydney Showground – makes a return to Australian Championship Speedway at it’s new home in Sydney Olympic Park after an absence of 27 years. Billy was the last to win an Australian Championship at the old Sydney Showground in 1980. "For many years we have been thinking about an appropriate way to honour Billy," Sanders’ nephew, Craig Wallace said. "When it was suggested the Billy Sanders Trophy be struck for the 2007 Championships, we had no hesitation in giving it our full support. "We feel it very fitting to be involved with this prize for the best rider under the age of 23 in the Linddales Labour Hire Australian Championships, particularly as Championship Speedway will be returning to the Sydney Showground, where Billy was a legend." Accompanying the perpetual trophy will be a fantastic prize courtesy of MJM Speedway Spares – a pair of new Daytona Race Boots. "Billy’s legacy continues to live on in the sport in Australia despite it being over 20 years since he passed on," said MJM Speedway Spares proprietor, Matt Jones. "I think it’s fair to say that Billy’s efforts on the international stage inspired many young Australian Speedway riders to pursue a career overseas. "Not only that, his performances on home soil were – for many years – without peer. We are honoured to be involved with this prize, which is sure to become one of the most sought after in Australian Speedway racing." "The Sanders and Wallace families would like to thank MJM Speedway Spares for their association with the Trophy and also Championship Co-Ordinators Power Productions, without who’s persistence, this would not be possible," Craig Wallace concluded. The seeded riders eligible for the Billy Sanders Trophy are as follows*: -Troy Batchelor (Qld) -Jason Doyle (NSW) -Chris Holder (NSW) -Rory Schlein (SA) -Cameron Woodward (Vic) *These five riders may be joined by some or all of the four qualifiers from the Qualifying Meeting on December 30, 2006 at Gillman Speedway, Adelaide. I can see Corey being in the mix. Great Tribute to Billy and to whoever is good enough to win it. Go Rooboy!

M.D Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Adam Shields? Enjoying married life too much, perhaps? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Altough Adam will be back in Aussie by then, he took the winter off to let last seasons injurys heal fully in time for the new europeon season. He will however be getting in plenty of practice at the family track so he will be race fit come March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
