IainB Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 BRITISH Speedway is saddened to hear of the passing of Ryan Terry-Daley at the age of just 31. Ryan was a regular in the UK for around a decade, racing predominantly in the NDL for the likes of Mildenhall, Coventry, Stoke, Plymouth and Leicester. His spell with the Lion Cubs in 2019 saw him part of the team which lifted the NDL title, and although he was no longer racing in the UK he continued to compete in New Zealand. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this very sad time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesHarris Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 Very sad news. Ryan rode for us at Coventry in the MDL team in 2013 and was our number one. He was a really nice genuine lad. A cheeky chappy who said it as it was. Rest in peace mate. Another one gone too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
