BEWLEY IN WITCHES SWITCH

IPSWICH have announced the blockbuster signing of treble British Champion Dan Bewley for the 2027 ROWE Motor Oil Premiership season.

Bewley makes the move to Foxhall after spending his entire top-flight career in the UK so far with the Aces, having first represented the Manchester club at NDL level back in 2016.

It also means the former World No.3 will line up on a home track which will be staging its first ever round of the GP series next August.

Bewley said: “It’s a little change of scenery and something new to ride. I started my career off at Edinburgh but for the past nine years, I have pretty much been riding big tracks. This is something to freshen it up for me and a little bit of a challenge.

“I will say part of my decision was that I did feel like I was going through the motions a little bit at Belle Vue. Riding there is everything that comes the most easily and naturally to me as a rider – week in and week out.

“Everything was great at Belle Vue, and I would like to think I left on good terms. But I am just looking forward to a new challenge and a new club for me. There is a lot to be excited about.

“I feel like the move is going to be a bit of a shock to people and some people might not like it. But I am looking forward to starting a journey with Ipswich, and we’ll see where it takes us.”
