screm Posted July 29 Report Share Posted July 29 Message from former Berwick rider Connor Coles posted on social media. The last few months have given me a lot of time to reflect. As I’ve been working through my recovery, I’ve seen the thousands of messages, comments and well wishes that were sent while I was in a coma and afterwards. There are too many to reply to individually, but I’ve read them, and I genuinely appreciate every bit of support. To everyone who took the time to send a message, say a prayer, donate, support my family, or simply think of me – thank you. That support carried me and meant a lot to me, Kirsty, Isabella, Poppie and everyone close to us during one of the toughest periods we’ve been through. I’ve been asked a lot about whether I’ll race again. After long discussions with my family and medical team, I’ve made the decision to retire from professional speedway. It’s not how I ever wanted things to end, but I have to be realistic about where I’m at. Like every rider, I always thought I’d choose the moment myself, but that choice has been taken out of my hands. Speedway has been a massive part of my life. It’s given me good times, tough times, friendships, and experiences I’ll never forget. I’m proud of what I achieved in the sport and proud to have been part of it. Right now, my focus is simple – keep working on my recovery and be there for my family. Thank you to every club I’ve ridden for, my teammates, sponsors, mechanics, volunteers and the fans who stood by me throughout my career. I’ve never taken any of it for granted. That’s the end of my racing career, and the start of a new chapter. Thank you. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VP started out well this season but he is unfortunately costing us now. If there’s any ambition beyond what has already been achieved I agree, time for a change. Biggest problem could be where do you magic up a third heat leader from? I will add Victor is brilliant with the fans. Especially the youngsters and he is a good rider, I don’t think the massive gap in the fixtures did him any favours though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s riding in Sweden every week though.Very inconsistent there too.Difficult to find replacements these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilali Posted Friday at 09:08 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:08 PM What happened to VP? Last season everyone said his poor second half was down to the illness he picked up, but what excuse is there now? He was a disastrous signing based on the average he came in on, and unfortunately he’s continued to be a disaster this season as well. Another Berwick season is slowly but surely slipping away, it’s all too familiar the same failings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mgas Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Jordan has been declared fit, and more importantly safe to ride. First meeting… as a guest. Not a gripe with Jordan but with the system that allows a rider to miss meetings for their clubs. Then appear for someone else. How does that make sense? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at it another way he's testing his fitness before he's riding for his own club. He could ride tomorrow and realise he's not fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for Berwick's slim play-off hopes to stay alive, they need Glasgow to keep losing, so Morris could be helping knock his own team out of the play-off race (Glasgow look easier to catch than Edinburgh).

He rode for Berwick, scored well then had a recall about previous x rays. 100% did the right thing waiting for more info. But he is fit. No need to test that for someone else.

Not sure that is a road you want to go down really. Edited 1 hour ago by LisaColette 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is fit. No need to test that for someone else. He is not testing his fitness, he has taken a guest booking to earn money. It is a short season and not much of it left so why shouldn't he. Jason Edwards was saying about not having enough racing on tv the other day. He said ideally would like at least 3 meetings a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
