Just a wee thought Tsunami. If you are saying what I think you are, that hasn’t been officially said and the family might not be ready yet for that to be in the public domain. You might want to re consider

 

Same goes for the comment on Benji Compton

 

Lioness - with respect, as Tsunami has deleted the “offending” post maybe you could edit it out of yours - otherwise there is little point in the original disappearing!

Tsunami. I do enjoy reading the great amount of your posts on this site, but at times a little bit of humality goes a long way.

Just because you may think you may know more than the rest of us , there are times where silence is the better recourse.

I believe on this occasion it maybe of been the better action

RIP Danny

Tsunami - Iv'e seen you have deleted your post

Big love :)

Thoughts to the Ayres family at this most distressing of times

Perhaps if Tsunami apologised for a ''clumsy'' post it would solve any unintended offence caused. I am not familiar with the person in case anyone thinks this is personal.

Danny was a complete enigma. Brilliant one minute, miles in the lead and then in the fence.

But Speedway is sadly short of riders that generate this kind of excitement, a character and an entertainer and most of all an all round thrill merchant.

He would have been revered as a rider in the 70's and 80's when showman ruled. Sadly he missed that era but equally made the relatively dull speedway of today a joy to watch in races he was in.

Speedway has lost a gem.

From the first time I saw Danny at Rye House in a second half it was obvious with experience he would develop into a decent rider. What wasnt obvious was how popular he would become. I followed most of his career at Kent and more latterly at Mildenhall. Not only had he become a very accomplished rider but a true showman and crowd favourite.

It's very sad what has happened and there is nothing else to say but my thoughts are with Danny's Family and Friends

I only saw Danny Ayres ride once, at last years British Final, and for me, his race with Bomber was the highlight of the evening.

Even though he must've been gutted to lose the race he still gave a great interview after, full of passion and great humour, and I remember thinking what a breath of fresh air this guy is, in a sport sadly lacking real entertainers these days. 

Such a shame to go so young RIP
