Lewis had a storming 2019 riding for Buildbase Honda but a shortened 2020 season onboard the Verde Substance KTM didn’t prove quite as fruitful and he was without a team place going into the 2021 campaign.

In his statement, he did say that he will be riding locally so it won’t be the last we see of him at the track. Could he be another top rider who transfers his talents to the AMCA British Championship??

Read Lewis’s full statement below…

“So after over 10 years racing at the highest level in the UK. I’ve decided to take a step back from it all, it’s been awesome and I’m going to miss it like hell. Trying to juggle work, riding, training and being dad is fairly difficult and I’d rather put 100% into my latest project, than try and do all three half heartedly. Still going to have a bike and hopefully some more fun, racing locally with a few other events chucked in as well. Thank you so much to all the people who have helped me and believed in me over the years! See you at the track!”
