Baldyman Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 He is one rider I shall definitely look forward to seeing on my travels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces High Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Only saw a few Colts meetings last year but the Bickley really impressed me towards the end of the season, I thought he looked a better talent than Jack Smith. Has a really smooth style, always looks in control. It will be interesting to see how he gets on in the Championship but he certainly has talent. Dan is pretty much the exact opposite, with an all action style but sometimes pushes a little too hard. Was way past NL level last year, most meetings last year were spent trying to break his own NL NSS track record. Best of luck to Workington in 2018! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fair to say he has been a full throttle merchant in the same manner as Joss Auty and Nick Morris. In the last couple of years, he has started to use his brain instead of his wrist, and the benefits are shown in his averages and probably a lot less big crashes. Like Nick Morris, he has also managed to get around the tight bends at Brough, and is now a more mature and safe rider. Nice lad as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve only seen him on TV but he looked like a small, smooth Leigh Adams, rather than an erratic young Jason Doyle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bickley is very smooth - looks like he's riding an armchair. Bewley looks less controlled, more bull in a china shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces High Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Bull in a china shop is the perfect description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John7 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Witnessed Bewley ride twice at workington for Glasgow last season looked smooth and fast and not afraid to pass! Unbelievable how much he has progressed from two years ago as a reserve for Edinburgh. Also seen Bickley have a spin after meetings at derwent Park and I know he was only by himself but again looked very smooth and did not look slow! Both are major talents!

Fourentee Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I’ve only seen Bewley at Monmore and while he was both fast and trying different lines, I don’t recognise the bull in a china shop description. He always looked completely in control of what he was doing — very impressive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marksman Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 From what I've seen of Kyle Bickley ride, he looks very much in control, and has the style of a certain Carl Stonehewer. With the fantastic backing and people he has around him, I'm sure he will go far in the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a nice block of talent coming out of the Youth Development under Neil Vatcher, Kyle being one, Leon Flint coming up behind him then the 2 McGurk brothers just to name a few. My worry is if they get into the wrong clubs and are not nurtured Edited January 10, 2018 by balderdash&piffle spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That also follows for the junior leagues such as the Northern Junior League (NJL) with teams like Glasgow, Berwick, Newcastle, Redcar, Workington and Scunthorpe.
