Sidelined with concussion since last Thursday, West Cumbrian star Dan Bewley expects to get the all-clear to ride again on Sunday.
The Maryport-based flyer crashed after running into stricken Leicester rider Max Fricke in heat six of Belle Vue Ace’s 55-35 defeat at Leicester.
Fricke was able to continue in the meeting despite being the cause of the accident but Bewley was forced to withdraw. He sat out his Polish club Wroclaw’s 47-43 loss at Leszno on Sunday and missed last night’s narrow Belle Vue win at Birmingham.
Het hopes to make his return to action when Sparta travels to Gorzow in the PGE Ekstraliga on Sunday and has been updating fans on his condition via Instagram stories.
Bewley said: “I just wanted to say thank you for all the messages.
“As most of you know, I was in a crash on Thursday, and I have been signed out for nine days with concussion.
“All being well, I will be back next Sunday. I have been feeling better over the last couple of days. I just have a little bit of bruising and stuff. But I had a CT scan, and it was all clear, so we are all good there.
“I am going to miss a few meetings, so I just wish my teammates and my teams well for the next few meetings. I hope to be back soon. The plan is Gorzow next Sunday and all being well, I’ll be there. It’s looking well.
“Thanks for all of the messages. I hope to see you soon and I hope for a good end to the season.”
A racing return on Sunday would come as a huge boost to Bewley as the FIM Speedway GP of Great Britain – Cardiff approaches on August 17, with the Aces racer seeking to repeat his famous 2022 victory at the Principality Stadium.
