“the time has come for me to hang the boots up for a little while.” Lewis Hall

It’s tough at the top, and being a Pro Motocross rider in the UK has never been tougher. Lewis Hall has been in the Pro ranks for what feels like forever but he is still a young man and has made the call to step away from the sport for a while after struggling this year as a privateer.

Lewis posted this statement upon his Social Media:

“Not something I wanted to be writing but the time has come for me to hang the boots up for a little while. I’ve been competing at a high level for most of my life and I’ve had some crazy highs and some low lows. As a privateer it’s even more of a struggle both financially and mentally and it’s starting to take its toll and I just need some time away from the sport to reflect and regroup. I’ve traveled around Europe multiple times, met some of the most amazing people and made so many amazing memories! I’m very grateful for all the sponsors that have stuck by me through thick and thin throughout the years it’s highly appreciated. I still plan to keep a bike and have some fun but I’m taking the rest of the year out and will make a come back next year. Again sorry to everyone I’ve let down and thanks to all my sponsors! We will be back.”

We wish Lewis all the best with his future and we hope its not the last we see of him at the track!
