I agree with this 100%. I hope Connor isn't lost to the sport but greater than that, much greater, I hope I find peace and happiness. 

Wishing everyone concerned at todays meeting all the success you deserve for the time and effort being put in 👍 Please let all know what's happening after the meeting!

If your "head" isn't on the job in hand, then stepping away from speedway is a sensible thing to do, IMO.  Last thing you want is to be "elsewhere" in your head when on a speedway track with 3 others doing speeds of up to 60mph.

Are they supposed to be team riding or was that an individual event?

Dan T had a good meeting for Team GB if this race is anything to go by:  

The last thing anyone should do if going through mental health problems is to turn their back on what they loved doing. A lot of sports stars have come to regret walking away whilst their careers were in full swing. I'm pretty sure he won't feel any better being an ex-rider. Sometimes you've just got to ride the storm until it has passed. Just my opinion on the matter.
