Red Panda Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I just don't like the way that Darcy Ward rides. Not a lot of skill level but a great deal of speed. With no consideration to any other riders on the track. His control over the bike is practcally non existant. Giving it far to much thottle and the bike goes onto the back wheel and at times into other riders. I just wished now after the years he has raced at Poole and around the world he would by now have started to use his brain, if he actually has one. If he can't slow it down then at least learn to control the bike a bit more. He would then be a great rider. Wtf?????????????? Darcy Ward...........pure class on a bike and in 37 years of following the sport I have never seen any rider as naturally talented.............. Can't gate to save his life though............

andrewrunagall Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 As much as I am a Rye House fan, I'm not a fan of Tyson Nelson, it all started off when he came over and demanded to only be called Nelson, no first name, just Nelson, then the alleged scuffle with Steve Boxall the day before the 2011 Press and Practice Day (where I arrived at the stadium and saw a couple of police cars, nothing was said on the day, but I found out what happened eventually), then refusing to take his sunglasses off on said P&P day (because he had a black eye from the previously mentioned scuffle), he was a decent reserve for that year, then he was refused a visa for the 2012 season, so all went quiet, then when he came back last year, he was back to his usual Aussie self, there was a few pics posted on twitter where he stuck a cigarette in Len Silver's mouth as he was taking a nap in the pits at Scunthorpe (he's old, he has an excuse), then placed a traffic cone on his head. After the 2013 season, he posted a video where he was setting off fireworks towards houses. So glad he's been refused a visa again this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionsDen Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I admire any speedway rider - as I think most of us us non-riders would agree. However.... Ole Olsen back in the good ole days, and Mauger too. Looking back I guess they were just too good and it irked me as a young lad supporting the Lions. Never liked Mitch Shirra either. And most annoyingly, he seemed to love riding at Blackbird Road. These days it would be: Bjarne Pedersen - just find him boring to watch Krzysztof Kasprzak - you never know whether he can be arsed or not. Tomasz Gollob - so much talent yet not only was he often reckless he could also be arsey and/or not bothered. Talking of Poles... throw in Kolodziej, Protasiewicz and Walasek too. Boring. Heart always used to sink when they were in the GPs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
