Wolverhampton’s Ty Proctor is so keen to ride for his friend Matthew Wethers in the Stormy Wethers Testimonial that he is taking on a marathon three day trek to be at Armadale on 17th August.

He said “I’m looking forward to his meeting. I’m not looking forward to the drive to Eastbourne the next day though! And I’m in Steady’s meeting at Swindon the night before!"

Ty added “I’ve known Matthew and his family since probably my first meeting. I’m from Melbourne but at my first meeting interstate I met Matt’s father and his brother Ben, and they were a great help to me coming through.

“I’ve known his parents better than I’ve known Matthew but over the years I’ve got to know Matthew too. When he was doubling up with Wolverhampton he used to come and do his bikes at our house so we’ve spent a lot of time together.

“I’ve got a lot of respect for Matt. There’s not a lot of riders who can do ten years at one club, and I think a lot of youngsters should look at him – that’s the way to be. If Matt had been rubbish he would not have been there for ten years, that’s for sure.”
