Yeah, he jarred his back again in his second race, he's not fit ....... some tracks are easier to ride than others when you're not fit ......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tighter tracks will be much harder to ride with back or arm injuries. I think people are expecting too much from the lad right now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think people are expecting too much from the lad right now. Dale Allitt said afterwards that he shouldn’t be riding really. He’s had some pretty horrible crashes this year, hopefully he has a bit more luck in 2020 after a restful winter. Allitt also said that Cook is in a bad way and was withdrawn by the paramedic. MPT has an ankle injury. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However in truth his career has progressed further on the world stage. Im sure like the majority of top riders the UK is a low priority, which makes Doyle a real pleasure to have in the top flight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t think he’s a rider who has ever gone through the motions.....would be easy for him to cry off but if guests are virtually impossible to book and he doesn’t want to let his club down then he will ride. My main concern for him is the World U21s as it’s his last go this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Call me wolfie 677 Posted September 3, 2019 By his own admission on Saturday, he shouldn't be riding anywhere. Very foolish imo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps that's because it could mean a 7 day ban. Nicholls has received a ban of 7 days for pulling out of the meeting with a back injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He had more chance prior to last Saturday, turning up and putting in a sub standard performance due to injury did him more harm than good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
