What is going on at Peterborough, Ales Dryml has now quit the club with immediate effect due to his back injury. Something doesn't seem right at the club.

Don't sound good, it if true?

 

Mr Watson is very conspicuous by his recent absence on this forum.... Or is the answer elementary? ;)

Speedway: Panthers ace Dryml retires earlier than expected
846288301.jpg

Peterborough Panthers star Ales Dryml has called time on his British career earlier than expected.

The popular Czech rider has informed club bosses of his decision to retire from British speedway with immediate effect.

He had previously indicated he planned to finish racing on these shores at the end of the current campaign. But the former GP rider and European champion has now notified Panthers that he will not finish the season.

Team boss Carl Johnson said: “Ales has retired from British racing as of yesterday due to his ongoing back injury.

“It has kept him out of a number of meetings during the season and the recent busy schedule has taken its toll.

“It is a huge shame because Ales is a fantastic guy and a great team man. He has also been performing very well despite the back trouble.”

Dryml becomes the second Peterborough rider to step down from the team in the past week. Richard Hall took the decision to cut short his season last weekend.

It means Panthers will track a patched-up team when they travel to Plymouth tonight (September 12) for their final away clash of the regular season.

Panthers are also without number one Lasse Bjerre at Plymouth due to his involvement in the Nordic SGP tomorrow.

They have drafted in two Ipswich riders, Morten Risager and Gino Manzares, as guests for Bjerre and Hall respectively. It is rider replacement for Dryml.

It is a must-win fixture as Panthers attempt to keep their play-off hopes alive.

Johnson said: “We’re going there to get all four points and they are a must if we are going to make the top six.”

TEAMS

PLYMOUTH: Edward Kennett (guest), James Wright, Kyle Newman, Rasmus Jensen, Josef Franc, Roland Benko, Zdenek Simota.

PANTHERS: Morten Risager (guest), Adam Roynon, Ulrich Ostergaard, Gino Manzares (guest), Rider replacement for Ales Dryml, Max Dilger, Nicki Barrett.

Not surprised to read this. Who'd wanna put their neck on the line and then be told the cheques in the post?

 

Now I genuinely know nothing but he has scored an absolutely hatful of points in the last 2 weeks so It does make you wonder if there is any chance of seeing the money

 

Its very sad to this all going on at Peterborough which is a great club

 

Also sad to see Ales finish, my last chance to see a Dryml ride will be in Pardubice in a few weeks which will bring to a close a brilliant 17 years of association with them

i can say its nothing to do with wages at all. p/boro would not get him a new sat nav power lead . thats all it was.

 

Don't give up the day job!

Dryml has definitely struggled with his back this year, but anyone who believes this is the reason he has retired are wide of the mark.

 

Never seem him show any discomfort during or after races? And when management were interviewed it was more about Ales being mic shy, his experience and helping the younger lads in the pits. At no time did they say, and on top of that he's been struggling with his back all season. Not saying your wrong but it seems to be a selective type injury as you say.

I do actualy fear for the future of our club after this latest anouncement..It seems that Hortons conortium appear to have lost interest since Coventry started doing well..I cant remember hearing anything in the press recently from the promtion team other than Johnson and Swales.
