Steve Shovlar 10,453 Posted January 9, 2014 And the excuses have already started. We all know facts get in the way of Poole fans arguments and discussions! They just choose to ignore them mostly you actually believe NKI is a better rider than Ward? NKI is a great rider but will never be WC IMO. Most can see Ward as having the ability for several titles in his time. We'll see where they are at the end of this season. I would happily put a tenner on Ward finishing the GP series higher up than NKI if they both have injury free seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve0 5,517 Posted January 9, 2014 Can we store this post till next October... Something wrong with discussing it now? The facts show that Iversen is currently the better rider! I suppose even you couldn't argue to the contrary but I'm sure you will give it a go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve, if they both stay sound this season , these know all's will be eating the Alphabet come October.. Something wrong with discussing it now? The facts show that Iversen is currently the better rider! I suppose even you couldn't argue to the contrary but I'm sure you will give it a go! The fact that Darcy spent 6-7 weeks on the sidelines has made the difference. If they both stay sound you will be eating the Alphabet not words come October pal.. Darcy is different class..

Pirate Nick 1,801 Posted January 9, 2014 Only in Poole!! Iversen IS a better rider than Ward - as proved by his world ranking!! Queue the excuses about Ward being injured blah!blah!blah! Hmmm, based on what I've seen I'd have to say Ward is the most naturally talented rider I've seen in my lifetime. What he does on a bike sometimes, well, I'd describe it as witchcraft! One of his heats at Poole this year he went under someone, who to us (stood on the exit if bend 2) was covering the inside line, and I kid you not we thought he had gone up the back of him, de materialised and re materialised in front of him. It really was amazing to watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stratton 1,491 Posted January 9, 2014 Steve, if they both stay sound this season , these know all's will be eating the Alphabet come October..I am a massive Ward fan the best talent i have seen since Lee ( not as good as MIke!) but don't underestimate NKI the last three seasons he has been outstanding.For Darcy to win a title i believe he has to improve his gating at world level.

Steve0 5,517 Posted January 9, 2014 The fact that Darcy spent 6-7 weeks on the sidelines has made the difference. If they both stay sound you will be eating the Alphabet not words come October pal.. Darcy is different class.. BOOM! There you go! I predicted that - not that it was difficult to work out! I agree Darcy has great potential but FACTS say that Iversen is currently better. Not really interested in the future - more interested in now!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodgy 982 Posted January 9, 2014 Did Rohan finish on a higher average or not?? Depends on the timing of the question. Earlier in the season most would choose Rohan but last 1/3 it would be Josh. Ask yourself who you would have picked for the play offs between the two. You will answer with who was the better rider at that time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
