The Scotwaste Monarchs are looking for a new reserve rider because their South African Byron Bekker has decided to call it quits for the season.

The club appreciate the efforts Bryon has made since he joined us, trying very hard and enjoying occasional success in spite of some severe mechanical problems.

Byron actually asked to be left out of the side after the Newcastle leg of the Playoff semi-final, stating that he didn't want to let the team down any longer. However we talked him into doing another week for us in view of the difficulty of finding a suitable replacement.

He has been a good team man. We wish Byron well for the future.
