It’s not without risk and he could be a revelation or a disaster but on a sub four point average I’d have thought it’s worth a shot. Lewis has always favoured small tracks . He couldn’t cut the mustard at Peterborough. It’s difficult to see him making a splash at Kings Lynn. He has the experience and talent to hold beat second strings and reserves in a weakened league, but I find it difficult to see him making much of an impact..

I could quite well imagine Crump doing it to some extent. Not going to be the rider he was, but in the UK could do well Todd Wiltshire is probably the only one that I can think of. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd rather he finished up at Leicester as I don't think King's Lynn would suit him at all...........yet I get a nasty feeling!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenga 2,998 Posted January 19, 2021 did Graham Jones make a come back for Berwick around the early 2000 seasons in the bandits team after after calling it a day ? i seem to remember he could gate very well and looked really good , apart from the rubber ring around his tum tum . my old mate Terry Kelly would prob do a good job .. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pirates Of Poole 761 Posted January 19, 2021 So Championship average would be 5.56 - I would say that's a risk worth taking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I am sure Norbold will confirm Ronnie cams back virtually world class after a 6 year retirement , but as far as I recall he is very much the exception that proves the rule. Others have come back with varying degrees of success , but I struggle to think of any ( apart from arguably Todd Wiltshire) that really came back as a force to be reckoned with. Ian the context of Lewis , my mind continually goes back to his final comments when he last retired. He said the kneck injury he suffered in a fall a Berwick meant that he would wake up in pain every day for the rest of his life. That might have improved by now but one awkward fall is likely to knock a hole in his confidence, then it will,probably be all down hill. I actually like Lewis.He is a good rider and has been generally a good servant to the sport , but I can’t see any way a comeback is going to succeed , apart from beating juniors and reserves in a weakened league. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
