BEWLEY UPDATE

DAN Bewley has regrettably announced his withdrawal from Saturday’s Cab Direct British Final.

The treble champion was included in the draw for the meeting in order to give every opportunity for him to make his comeback from femur and vertebrae injuries suffered in a crash in Denmark just under three months ago.

His original target was to race in the Manchester showpiece, followed by a Polish Eskstraliga meeting for Wroclaw next weekend, and then the World Cup Final in Warsaw on August 29.

However, the event at Belle Vue’s National Speedway Stadium comes just too soon for him, and Bewley has now informed organisers of his decision.

Therefore, first reserve Jake Mulford steps up into the main line-up, and the reserves on the night will be Ace Pijper and Joe Thompson.
