Lioness 1,410 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His very next race which was no more than 10 minutes after the conversation... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petecc 351 Posted June 8, 2021 He could be the only rising star due a testermoaneral.( spelt how I wanted it to be) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
