Grand Central Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 My answer to the original poster is yes Ward can win it. I will not be betting on him do so As I would prefer anyone but him to win. I want to look forward to an exciting year of racing. In which I can shout and scream for others. Enjoying myself thoroughly. Whilst hopefully seeing him fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWitcher Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 It's quite clear that there are a lot of people, despite some trying to claim otherwise or insisting that they are wrong to do so, who simply do not like Ward. Whilst everyone admits he is an ultra talented speedway rider, they simply don't like him, his past actions being the main cause of that. However, this time last year there were a lot of people who had no time for Woffinden either. Some still don't but many have been won over, quite simply due to Woffinden's change in attitude. Although it will be harder for Ward, due to his past misdemeanours, he too, with the right attitude would be able to win over a fair portion of those who currently dislike him. Not that it particularly bothers him I'm sure, but it sure seems to bother a few on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately the lad got it together and realised that he had to give that talent its best chance of succeeding and worked his bollocks off. No doubt the right people in his corner helped. In the case of Ward he is equally (if not more so) naturally talented but shows no sign of applying himself. He really strikes you as needing a firm hand as a father figure and Middlo pandering to him is doing him no good whatsoever. He was a young lad miles from home and was (is) crying out for some discipline but Middlo seems to want to be his friend rather than mentor/role model/ manager etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although in losing his father in the manner his did certainly meant that only the most cold hearted weirdo could do anything other that wish him well. This time last year I just did't think he stood a chance. How wrong was that? But it was the character of the man that was shown over the year that transformed by opinion. As well as his victory. I wish him well for 2014 and really hope he can get back-to-back titles. That would be some achievement, indeed. Darcy Ward .... Is quite another thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may or may not have had the wake up call he needs to apply himself but until he does he will be a regular semi finalist without consistently going the extra mile. i would like to see a Ward apply himself with the right attitude and no daft over riding do well. the ignorant brat he portrays himself as would not be a welcome world champion for many.

Guest Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) At this pre-start time for the GP series I think there are quite a few people who share your comment and hopes in regard to Darcy Ward being the 2014 overall GP winner. Have we gone off topic here. The title is can he win, not how many people hope he wins. You really should follow your own advice Yes he can win the GP 2014 Series. Darcy Ward has all the riding qualities and the much needed persona that goes with that to be the sport's No.1 in 2014 and for many seasons to come. I do think my initial comment was an indication that Darcy Ward was heading to be the 2014GP champion, but as you needed a more specific comment I have now spelt that out so you fully understand things. As you obviously have sub-editing experience which enables you to notice these things, there are a couple of previous Posts that do not seem - to my eye at least - that also fail to provide an exactly specific answer in regard to Ward being the 2014 champion.

Grand Central Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Like manna from heaven! Perhaps the worst news of all to Mr Ward's 2014 hopes. An endorsement from gustix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the 'persona' that is up for debate Gustix, you say he has the much needed persona, there are many who are questioning if at this point he has. There is no doubt about his riding qualities, apart from being hyper critical some improvement is his gating (which he is working on).

Anyway back to the topic. Yes and I was chatting with hubby about it last night. His money ( not literally) is on Ward, that surprised me. I'm not so convinced, he needs a major attitude adjustment. But then looking at the others I'm going from one of a pool of five. Ward, Hampel, NKI. Tai and Emil..Not in any order though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques has mentioned Ward needs an attitude adjustment, which is normally enough to set Sidders of on one, but she appears to have escaped his wrath... unless its a sarchastic post.
