I know the Scunthorpe fans have been asking for him lol, but I have a feeling he said he wanted to give Championship a miss this year to prioritise his Polish (Latvian) team? Interesting either way, nice to see him back racing at Berwick for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post screm Posted May 15 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 15 Update on former Berwick rider Connor Coles posted on social media today. Lovely news from Kirsty Coles about Connor A little update on Connor Connor has now been transferred from Stoke to Derby and has officially started neurological rehabilitation in a specialist centre. Although there is still a long recovery journey ahead, this week has brought some really positive steps forward. Connor is becoming much more aware and engaged, communicating more, remembering conversations and slowly getting more like himself each day. He is now eating food orally again with thickened drinks, has started rehab exercises including the exercise bike, and is walking short distances with support and a frame. Seeing these small milestones after everything he has been through has meant so much to us all. There are still many challenges ahead with speech, swallowing, fatigue and weakness down his left side, and recovery will take time, but we finally feel like Connor is taking important steps in the right direction. Thank you again to everyone for all the continued love, support, messages and kindness shown to Connor and our family 20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a very good individual rider who will get better and better I don't agree with the first part, he can be a very good team rider. Having said that, proper team riding is nowhere near as common as it used to be. Edited May 18 by BrizHeathen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previous week (next Saturday) was offered to both Scunthorpe and Redcar -- both declined. Week after is Belle Vue GP.

They are quite right to decline after the last 2 Saturday debacles, thought there would have been a Monday debrief on the website about changing the weather apps they use 😂😂😂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure that even Mr Dodds with his wealth of knowledge and years of experience can put a positive angle on the last two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you again to everyone for all the continued love, support, messages and kindness shown to Connor and our family I wonder if anybody will see fit to organise a benefit meeting for the lad... it sounds like a long road to recovery for him and his family and I can't believe how under the radar his accident and injuries seem to have gone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree with this and I do hope he makes a full recovery. I’m sure like several on here made a donation on the go fund me site and I guess the SRBF has helped like they always do. A benefit meeting would be nice to see and be put into place once Connor can be at trackside to watch. All the best to him and his family. Always in our thoughts.
