weatherwatcher Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Moto-x is a totally different product from riding around a speedway track. We will have to see how he goes when he gets back over here. He just may miss the rest of this year if they have failed in getting his visa application correct and if the border agency deem his capable of meeting all the points of admission to ride in the UK. As far as I know there have been no statements saying that he has applied and been granted a visa, for this year. You can pratice around a track all you like, you can do it from dawn to dusk 7 days a week, actually riding against 3 other top class riders is a different kettle of fish, I know he has a great talent, but he has been side lined for quite a while now. I just hope he is not sitting at home in Aus with a few pint of Fosters a night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Moto-x is a totally different product from riding around a speedway track. But it keeps the boys fit, and keeps their reactions sharp. That and gym work certainly help, but there's no substitute for actually race riding to get them race fit. Darcy will come back pretty straight.

sommelier Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 EXCEPT when they fall off a la Gollob and Sayfutdinov amongst many others! Yes, did not Ward break his wrist just before the 2011 season after a moto x accident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Knight Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) Yes, did not Ward break his wrist just before the 2011 season after a moto x accident I hope it wasn't his drinking hand. :shock: Edited May 24, 2015 by The White Knight 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Ward has signed with Torun as reserve for remainder of 2015 season. Aren't Polish teams only allowed to track 3 foreigners at a time?! I confess I don't fully understand all the Polish rules anymore than I understand the British ones!?

TheReturn Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 JUNE 27 ... Thank you Philip. It will be interesting to see how he is riding after a long period off when his peers have a few months competitive racing under their belts.

junior fan Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Thank you Philip. It will be interesting to see how he is riding after a long period off when his peers have a few months competitive racing under their belts. Doubt it will matter , I think he will be spanking most as soon as he gets going , a few months out won't stop him from being the talented rider he was.

Wackie Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 You just pulled the pin Darcy! Nice interview on Sky tonight, you arrogant tw@t! Still with an attitude like that, won't be long before he screws up again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Pearson and Tatum gave Darcy the opportunity on a plate, even giving him the exact sentences to repeat and failed to take any of it in. Even when asked if he saw this as a last chance he pretty much chuckled under his breath with a no not at all. Arrogance was in abundance in front of the camera's. Didn't seem to have any regret at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Central Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Apparently he has learnt plenty. Specifically, to watch Greg Hancock, and his gating. Nothing about getting p!ssed the night before a GP though. So at least his fans will get the 'same old Darcy' back at the end of the month. .

mdmc82 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 What a terrible interview. Even with his no 1 fans Tatum & Pearson trying to coax him in to the correct answer, he failed. No apology or admitting he had leant from his mistakes. He didn't see this as a last chance even after all the things he's done. Cocky and arrogant as always. People will still treat him like a god and he will still believe he is bigger than the sport, however with no remorse or even acknowledgement that he was in the wrong, it won't be long before something else happens. I don't remember Kennett being brought in to interview after his ban. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember Kennett being brought in to interview after his ban. Maybe Kennett was giving the opportunity to be interviewed but sensibly turned it down, something that Ward shouldve done giving his efforts last night, surely one of his advisers shouldve said to him do your talking on the track for the time being. On hearing Ward I am afraid it appears he hasn't learned from his ban and it wont be long before he is caught up in another spot of bother. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Let's hope you're wrong. The Sky team should have prepped him over that interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
