BEWLEY RULED OUT

BELLE Vue have confirmed Great Britain star Dan Bewley has been ruled out of their team planning for 2022.

Bewley’s contract in the Polish Ekstraliga with champions Wroclaw limits him to racing in one other league elsewhere, and he has recently agreed a deal with Swedish club Smederna.

Aces Director of Speedway Mark Lemon said: “I must say it’s been quite a journey, but we understand and respect the fact that Dan is a young man looking for new challenges in 2022.

“And whilst we are disappointed to be losing him because of circumstances forced by the Polish regulations, Dan has ticked almost all of the boxes at the club in such a short time in Manchester.

“He has become a huge part of this club since the moment he first put on our race jacket for the Colts, and subsequently for the Aces too.

“I’m sure I speak for all of us, the owners, management and supporters, in saying thank you to Dan for his great services to Belle Vue. He will be genuinely missed both on and off the track.

“We will, of course, be keeping tabs on his progress and should any future opportunities present themselves, the door will always be open for him to return to the Aces.

“We look forward to that day and we wish him all the very best in his future endeavours in 2022.”
