Crazy robin Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Ward has never been a champion YET,?also Lee made a few bad mistakes but if you look back 1975-84 he rode a large number of meetings.Olsen, Briggs,Mauger, all had there falling outs on certain issues with the authorities, so this Ward incident is nothing new. Still can't see they'd be as many as Darcy has had but will bow to your knowledge :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Pawlicki gone to hospital with suspected broken collarbone although rider himself is pretty sure that it is broken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggs, Olsen and Mauger were never involved in drugs or criminal offences, nor were they ever even rumoured to have had problems with alcohol. Comparing what Ward has done to whatever spats they may have had with the speedway authorities is ridiculous. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scribbler Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Â Besides U21 World Champion maybe? Â Perhaps he peaked too early, without the maturity and support to handle it ? ( btw. I fear the same may happen to Robert Lambert) Â I think that the more you have to work to earn something - the more you appreciate it - in all walks of life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 With the transfer cut off date looming for when new rider can be brought in, it must be in Pooles best interests for Wards Hearing to be ASAP, otherwise it means they will not be able to replace him in the team if he is banned next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Surely the FIM will make their decision on Ward this week, though it doesn't necessarily follow that a Ward ban in SGP would see him banned from the EL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be ridiculous if he was allowed to continue his league racing & the lad needs punishing for him to finally learn a lesson. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve0 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Looks like Darcy needs to take a leaf out of the Woffinden book. Darcy certainly has the talent to be World Champion but will need to get himself focused once and for all! I know he is young but he will need to make sacrifices to earn the world crown - if he doesn't "knuckle down" it would be such a shame as he is a natural talent on a speedway bike.

Sherborne Green Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) If Darcy gets a ban and With Pawlicki injured there could be some changes. Â Wait for the reactions when these are announced! Edited August 24, 2014 by Sherborne Green 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
