SPEEDY69 1,256 Posted October 20, 2020 I don't buy the "Bewley has rubbish equipment" line at all. It's the way things are set up and the mechanics with him at those meetings would have made a difference, perhaps mentally as well as it could have raised his confidence 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the way things are set up and the mechanics with him at those meetings would have made a difference, perhaps mentally as well as it could have raised his confidence It's all part of the overall package though isn't it. Dan could buy Tai's bikes off him at the end of the year but they'd probably deteriorate over the course of a season without the correct maintenance and upkeep. Whatever the reason it was clear to see he was a lot sharper from the start and instead of just drifting away at the back was normally challenging the rider in front of him when he wasn't in front himself. I'm sure deep down Dan knows what the reasons are, whether he has the wherewithal to do anything about it though is a different matter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didnt even get a reply! This year i put in over £20.000 on a young British rider, but not for me anymore. Anders Rowe is one on my rador for next year. The point im making, i contacted a young Pole that caught my eye a few years ago, before i could stop typing i got a reply! So looks very likely i will be putting my money in to a Pole next year, shame really What do you want, a medal? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find it hard to believe any rider would not reply to a sponsor offer. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That doesn't mean you've used the correct email address to send it to or confirm that Dan has picked up your email either. I would suggest following it up via his social media channel where you would be much more likely to get a reply and resolve what could be a simple misunderstanding. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
