Pirate Nick 1,801 Posted July 2, 2014 Darcy will be fine, he cannot afford to take a year out and he is riding well and managing his injury, im sure its only bruising tonight and only a precaution to replace him in heat 15, entertaining the crowd should always be a good reason for having darcy in heat 15 I have to disagree with that. One big off and he's potentially lost a very promising career. I'd rather not win the league than see that happen. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is up to darcy if he rides, he has all winter to recover Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottyfan 824 Posted July 2, 2014 Does Vaclav Millik use A Jawa engine? You don't see many in EL Speedway these days...? No he rides a GM engine...........Maybe he uses Jawa frames??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pirate Nick 1,801 Posted July 2, 2014 That could happen to any rider, alot of riders ride with injuries. It is up to darcy if he rides, he has all winter to recover Most injuries yes, but this is, I believe, his cruciate ligament and he's risking permenant damage every time he rides and that damage could be career ending. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starman2006 2,354 Posted July 3, 2014 I have to disagree with that. One big off and he's potentially lost a very promising career. I'd rather not win the league than see that happen. I have to agree with you Nick Darcy should have really got it done this year, and given it time to settle down, but Darcy is old enough and ugly enough to make his own decisions. And im also sure he really wants to ride Cardiff as he missed out last year. i spoke to him after the meeting, and he tells me the knee is ok, so we have to take his word for that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,050 Posted July 3, 2014 Darcy needs to learn to throttle back and take a break. Didn't need to be in heat 15 as points were already safe. It's not about entertaining the crowd when his injury comes first. Watched it on 365 and still the track is poor. Magic as I keep saying is inconsistent and will be the one who costs Poole the league 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,637 Posted July 3, 2014 Hopwood out,Brendan Johnson in? Very possibly, with his after meeting practice with Jack Holder. Brendan is about the only rider left below Ben on the list that I've even heard of!!!! ps. Darcy said he was fine in his post-meeting interview - he caught his hip and banged his head, which is why he withdrew from the re-run. He spoke well and was posing with sponsors who gave him the Rider of the Night award. Incidentally, he does wear a knee brace - in fact he was wearing one, which was smashed to bits, when Smolinski did his early season deed!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guesty1992 6 Posted July 3, 2014 Tom Perry was disappointed to miss out on an EL point away at Poole last night, but was delighted with his own performance. Perry also praised fellow reserve Joe Jacobs. Read more at:http://tomperryracing.co/2014/07/03/perry-in-positive-mood-after-poole-trip/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
