Adam Roynon

Recommended Posts

Is the bionic man finally finished with riding or will he be making another comeback? If so, would any club hand him a team place?

I remember him guesting for Lakeside. He fell and dislocated his shoulder . He still went out I his next race, in a lot of pain to crawl round at about 20m.p.h. To collect third place in a three rider race to collect the single point that gave Lakeside the narrow win. Considering the amount of pain he was in, and the fact that he wasn't even a Lakeside rider, just a guest, it was one of the most courageous rides I have ever seen. He would have been quite justified in withdrawing from the meeting. 

If ever a rider deserved more success, Adam did. 

Best wishes for the future Adam.

If you were British Speedway's Insurance Company, what premium would you charge for Adam Roynon's Accident and Illness insurance? Would he even be insurable knowing that a claim is almost inevitable?

The charge is the same as everyone else, you really can be a crock without the r at times.

When he rode for Birmingham in 2009, he was obviously headed for the top: he was faster than Jason Lyons, and not many could say that. But then he was injured ... I hope that he has decided to retire now.

He'd of definitely made the GP's without injury and with the right backing. One of the most naturally gifted riders I've seen in a long time! (since Michael Lee scored an 18 point maximum at the age of 16, in his debut  season and on his first ever visit to Perry Barr......unbelievable!)
