stratton Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 What are people's opinions ? can Ward win the title this year? or is it a learning year for him.I think he can win it i have backed him also i have backed Iversen my two against the field also i believe Holder could be in the mix at a big price.

Triple.H. Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Certainly in with a shout definitely needs to up his gating but I'd much rather he kept missing the gate and earned his points in the way that puts bums on seats.

Everything being equal. But i won't be taking 7/2 at this time of year.. a full 8 months away from Torun. You'l get bigger for him to win a round or 3..

waiheke1 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Favourite for me this year, but like others have said, not attractive at those odds. Was tge best rider in auckland last year, despite a poor draw with two heats off gate 4, so will be interesting to see how he goes this year and may put a small bet on him winning that.

Woz01 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Darcys gating is an issue for me, against the top boys its a lot harder to overtake even for him. Needs a season injury free too which he rarely gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stratton Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) If he excepts certain situations maybe excepts a semi final now and again but moves on to the next round he has a mega chance.I believe his overall talent will prevail NKI the danger.!

If Emil rides obviously A big shout "phillipsr" i think you are pretty spot on that's my prediction i think NKi will be in the three minimum.

JJJ Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I saw a barely fit Chris Holder, battle his way through the Australian Championship. He showed skill, guts and determination. He looked every inch a World Champion. Anyone who beats him, will know they have been in a tremendous Speedway contest. Emil, Tai and Wardy are all very, very good and can win. Chris Holder is just better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Holder is just better. Imo Riding in the Australian Championship over 3 rounds is a bit different to riding in a 12 round GP Series. I think as others have said, If Darcy stays fit, he could go on and win it for a few years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 If he can grow up, start behaving and stay on his bike a bit more he can win it this year and as many times as he likes thereafter. Big if's though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 The slightly older, much more mature Darcy will be there or thereabouts - subject to injury. Taking instruction and guidance from Greg Hancock and Jason Crump on his gating, his focus, his organisation etc will stand him in very good stead!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Holder is just better. He beat Jason Doyle. Hardly going to strike fear into World Title contenders. He made hard work of that too. Obviously only a mug would discount Holders chances.
