iris123 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I think Darcy is thanking the FIM for banning him at the moment with all the accidents on the tracks.The way it is going he will be the only fit rider left come summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Knight Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Like that. The way things are going on this thread it will reach an all time record. Good old Darcy. Now all we need is a good silly atatement from one camp, or the other. Then it should really start to heat up here.Come on lad lets hear one of the stupidest staement of the century. Well if his managers have got any sense at all - they will have advised him against making any Statement at all. The last thing he needs to do is inflame the situation further. Ward should concentrate on what he does best - riding a Speedway Bike. After that he should do something that I would imagine will be quite hard for him - avoid controversy. If he can do this the future is bright for him. IF not.........................................................................................................................................

weatherwatcher Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I started a thread on the amount of riders being injured this year and folks have stated that is no worse than any other year. I disagree, we are losing 2 or 3 riders a week at the moment, some with very bad injuries, just read today about Voldrh, with 2 compound fractures below the knee, why are we getting so many accidents, are the riders trying to hard at the start of the season after a few months on thwe side lines, are they not getting in enough track time before the start of the season. are the bikes now to uncontrollable, or are the air fences far more dangerous than the ols style fences. That is what caused Voldrh accident when he bounced off the air fence into the bike in front. So yes Darcy is saffer sitting it out, only hope he is getting some track time in and staying in shape for when he gets back on track, should hate to see him come back and crash out first meeting and be out again for the rest of the season. It could happen, if he thinks that he can just get back on his bike in June without, spending a few weeks on a few tracks to get back into things.

You were told on the accident thread you were wrong about Voldrh crash and that no air fence was involved. Not sure what it has to do with Ward though.

I think what this post has in common with Ward is 'making things up'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwatcher Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 The SCB, should be the ones when they put something in print, to get the fact straight, as they are the body of people who are looking after the sport. Looking back at what was said, it was what Voldrh, stated that had happened to him in the accident, so it was the riders comments that where at fault. I supose though when you have just crashed and broken your leg in 2 places, things must go through your mind what happened could be rather different to what actually went on.

I can't believe they are all being as quite as little church mice. Makes you wonder if someone has stuffed a sock in their gobs, after all the trash they where spewing out a few weeks ago. Maybe he has come to his senses at long last and listened to someone with a bit more sense than the ones he has been listening to in the past. Just ride out the ban and then start riding again. No problems as he has not got that much longer to wait now anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwatcher Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 I wonder if the border acencies will issue him with a visa when the time of his ban is over. I am sure they have already looked into this, but there has never been any mention of it. At least they have a couple of months to get their house in order, before he can race again.

Ghostwalker Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Antonio Lindbäck will be forced to be breathalysed before every meeting he rides in Sweden, this season. http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=67537&page=60&&do=findComment&comment=2602611 Do you think the same should apply to Darcy Ward and do you think that it should apply to all riders?

I have said on here before that i think every rider should be breath tested at every meeting. It is quick and easy to do so i don't understand why it isn't already standard to just test everyone.
