Lioness Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 after a year and a half without racing, isnt it a bit bizarre to call for any rider to retire at this stage? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiveusaB Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 It's whether they're a danger to anyone else IMO....Adam isn't!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His very next race which was no more than 10 minutes after the conversation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m afraid any time I have seem Bates the bike takes him round,he has very little control, pulls lockers in most of his races.He is dangerous.IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was amazed when he was given the rising star tag but watching him this year he appears to be the most unstable on a bike of the lot.
