I saw Workington fans saying him and Ellis was out on the track with Dan while waiting for the ambulance so I think calling him a disgrace is a bit harsh personally. Irrespective of what happened to Bewley, if a rider starts thinking about not taking any risks he should be stopping at home.... Then again, you're only guessing anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, you're only guessing anyway. Generally speaking, you maybe right. But seeing someone close to you injured can and does have an effect more on some people then others. Remember Chris Holder went off the boil after the Darcy Ward smash. There was a very bad smash at the British MotoGP at Silverstone on Saturday practice in the pouring rain. These MotoGP riders are tough, and one of the real tough ones on Sunday said "we maybe MotoGP riders, but we are human" (or words to that effect). Speedway riders are tough guys, but they are human too. Recently a former Polish speedway champion committed suicide, riders who knew him were affected, one pulled out of a match because of it, some others were down on their previous performance levels. We are humans with feelings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he won't as it was a speedway injury, Lawson, on the other hand, has a compulsory 8 day ban from last friday as his is a non-speedway injury/illness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Morris, like Kyle Howarth normally, over rides on full throttle and when he catches a rut or loose dirt he is then airborne. Not the tracks fault if certain riders are throttle happy, Actually the last visits of both Howarth and Morris they rode great, and it was their best meetings at Brough. So it can be ridden, but the brain has to be in gear of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
