For most of the season they rode together at number 1 and number 2 so they had plenty of races together 31 in total. Bewley won 28 of them Bickley 3 and 2 of those wins came in the play off final so late in the season and one of his wins was an awarded race when Bewley fell while leading. Bickley stayed at number 2 all that season so never reached heat leader status in the season they rode together. Sorry enjoy the stats side of the sport and not long retired so plenty of time on my hands lol. I had a look yesterday too, as presumed my memory of them racing together a lot was playing tricks.. And he did get a fair few bonus points... Averaged over 8 at home with them.. Not bad for a first year... With most of those bonus points behind Dan I presume...? Stats eh? I am still surprised how close they were then to how far apart they are today... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep the following season he and Jack Smith went head to head for the number one spot with Smith just pipping him for the number one spot. At the time i thought both of them had a great future but it would seem they both went down the same path and sadly never seemed to kick on to the next level. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got to wonder if Dan changing teams and getting the experience of riding different styles of track (Armadale, Ashfield and Derwent Park) paid dividends for him? In saying that his attitude on and off track was certainly more professional and I'm afraid my abiding memory of Bickley will always be the video of him appearing to give an arrogant finger.

mac101 1,201 Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) one of the main differences is that Dan had steve lawson coaching him from day one Dan was a champion mx rider so new how to ride a bike fast with the top mx riders and most riders that move from mx are pretty decent anyway but when you have someone of steve’s calibre coaching you right away your going to be good but riders like dan are one in a million if you follow him on social media he rides every 2 wheeled machine out there mx trails flat track even rides a unicycle heard he is now taking golf up lol Edited June 20, 2022 by mac101 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Edit: No he isn't, despite being named in originally-submitted Monarchs' line-up) Also, Ricky Wells will be doing his Scott Nicholls impersonation at #1 for Oxford tomorrow.
