IMO Doyle needs to look carefully at his future in speedway. He's has a good crack athe GP's ... at the veteran stage now for a speedway rider. Does he really still think he can win the SGP ? Mr N Pedersen showed that you can carry on for one season too many and hurt yourself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr N Pedersen showed that you can carry on for one season too many and hurt yourself. 2 years ago, he was falling down the rankings, but last year was challenging for the title till he got injured. So can understand him thinking "what can I do with an injury free season" of course we'll never know now. If he can get fully fit & have a good last couple of rounds, may feel he's good enough to challenge for the podium / title again next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t possible get over his injury within a week. Ta for the correction, I remember thinking why return for the International "friendly" but he got injured again before that. I remember him saying he rode because he didn't feel any pain, but I wonder if he considered "what happens if I fall again"? Obviously riders could crash on any meeting, but if it happens when you've not fully recovered you can keep putting yourself out for longer. I guess Doyle doesn't think about that? Tbh not many riders do. Edited June 17 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be more about whether WBD Sports would offer him a Wild Card spot - only three this year. The winner of the SEC and Top 4 from the SGP Challenge. Plus the top 7 in the Standings !! Doyle being 30 points off the top 7 cant see it happening. Shame because he has been plagued with injuries over the last couple of seasons but perhaps he will be able to keep earning top zloty in Poland and whether he chooses to continue to ride in the what will be a different UK league.

So much determination and will to win, but getting caught up in "unlucky" situations... Situations that they never got caught up in... A proper asset to the GP series, but maybe a year out, and a year where he doesn't pick up any injuries, will help his GP longevity, similar to how Freddie has extended his career... One of those who genuinely puts "bums on seats" is Jason, so hopefully he takes his time, and can come back stronger.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he would be better concentrating on his league career ,if careful he may get another five years there . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
