Swindon superstar Jason Doyle is in great shape ahead of the new Premiership season.Doyle, who saw his bid for the world title halted by injury last October, has picked up where he left off with both performance and fitness.
He’ll be at the Abbey Stadium with his Robins colleagues this Thursday for press and practice – the public are welcome from 5pm. The Aussie ace was flying during a high profile Pairs meeting in Poland at the weekend – and was back in the gym on Monday.
“Everything is sweet at the moment,” Doyle said. “I’ve had four months off now so I’m looking forward to the start of the year. Nothing is bothering me now, it’s just a case of moving forward, forgetting what happened last year and enjoying 2017. Obviously what happened at the end of last year was tough, but I think the year before was probably harder to be honest.”
“When I broke my neck in Melbourne, I knew I’d done a good job on myself and when I saw the x-rays I realised just how lucky I’d been. Especially so soon after what happened with Darcy Ward, it was a bit of an eye-opener knowing I’d been so lucky and that injury was more difficult to come back from I think.”
“What happened in Torun is all forgotten now. Hopefully I never have to be in that position again, but I know it’s racing and I’m just looking to move forwards now. Last year was a great year for me and I had a lot of fun, so I’m just looking to enjoy this year just as much and try to have a good year.”
The Carpets 4 Less Robins head to Doyle’s former club Leicester on Saturday before launching their home campaign against Belle Vue on Thursday April 6.
