PROCTOR STANDS DOWN

TY Proctor has stood down from team places with King’s Lynn and Leicester after electing to take time out of the sport.

Both clubs are now considering their options for replacements after the experienced Australian informed them of his decision.

Proctor said: “My plan for this season isn’t working and I need to take a few weeks out from racing to try and put things right.

“I want to make it clear I still love the sport and I’m not walking away from it, I just need to go away and hit the reset button and try and get going again.

“I’ve tried to strike a balance between a full-time job and riding for two clubs, and the plan hasn’t worked and isn’t going to work any time soon.

“I don’t want to appear to be doing the dirty on my teams because I have massive respect for everyone at Leicester and also at King’s Lynn, so I’m doing what I believe is right for me and right for my clubs.”
