BUDGIE 35 Posted August 1, 2006 (edited) According to http://www.speedwayworld.tv/ Trick has announced that he had retired from all Speedway, effective immediately. I'll always remember his pass on Nielsen in the 1994 World Final at Vojens,I was standing looking down that straight, I think that was the moment he really arrived!

Sandie 53 Posted August 1, 2006 For those too lazy to click the link - allow me!! From Speedway worldTV Six times world champion Tony Rickardsson announced his early retirement from both world championship and domestic speedway at a press conference in Stockholm today. Rickardsson missed last weekend’s FIM Italian Grand Prix on doctor’s orders and the Swede has said he does not want to risk any more injuries. He will be replaced at the FIM ES Scandinavian Speedway Grand Prix in Målilla, Sweden, on 12 August by Australian ace Ryan Sullivan, who is second reserve for the SGP Series. For the remainder of the season first reserve Hans Andersen will step up to fill Rickardsson’s position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shazzybird 10 Posted August 1, 2006 For those too lazy to click the link - allow me!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You just told Steve Shovlar off for helping someone out and you go and do this Everyone has their own opinions of his retirement and memories of Mr Rickardsson, some great memories of him from Poole, the look on my little lads face was priceless when he shook his hand in the garage en route to Poole. All the autographs that he signed for him also the hat he gave to him Many thanks for making my little lad one of the happiest kids within the sport for the last 7 years, he is now looking forward to watching theCar Racing (Just when you thought he would leave you alone ) Good luck with all your future plans and thanks for the entertainment Tony Rickardsson Six Times World Speedway Champion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
