Will be riding for Rybnik most Sunday's as well so you count him out. I don't think his plans were ever to ride in the championship with having a pretty secure place in Poland. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He said he was back on a pushbike but told not to put too much weight on his leg. Pleased he's making good progress though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted December 12, 2018 he may be back on a push bike , but has the saddle high and is peddling on one leg only . but a gusty wee fella . i think there was another reason why worky did not include him in their plans was because he would miss too many meetings for other things .

StevePark 2,783 Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Lewis Rose has said he will not be returning to the sport. Best wishes to him for the future and thanks for all your efforts whilst riding for the Diamonds. He has said this on his Facebook page: "So after a long time off from speedway this year after putting everything into it during last winter preparing I think was easy for people to see I wasn't enjoying riding at all . Was such a hard decision to stop at the time . But now after being away from speedway I've decided not to return to it .. I had a good crack at it during the 6 years met some great people and made some close friends. I had some great sponsors who I can't thank enough for what they did for me and for understanding my decision this year .. Work is going good I'm really keen and eager to get stuck into work making this new business a success and a good future for my family .. hopefully see yas about and keep.in touch with everyone.. but thanks again to everyone who helped me a long the way you all know who you are so thankyou Lewis rose 822" Edited December 15, 2018 by StevePark added quote off Facebook 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoping the promoters have got something up their sleeves Dave as af the moment we look to have missed the boat for the second season in a row? All obvious options have gone elsewhere and if we fill the team with the usual suspects we’ll be down near the bottom again! Most other teams have 3 established heatleaders (even Sunday teams) and we currently have one who isnt a lover of the smaller tracks. Martin said previously that riders had been in touch before last season was properly ended asking for places so I hope there are new faces in the offing. The press releases up to now suggested the riders were surprised to sign for Newcastle - hope it wasnt purely because they had nowhere else to go? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
