This weekend, Tate Zischke has informed the promotion of his desire to ride elsewhere in the 2027 campaign. Despite every effort to retain Tate, we sadly accept his decision to leave the Comets following 3 seasons with the club.
Tate joined the side in 2024 and has continually improved season by season, we wish him well for upcoming seasons and future events.
Thank you, Tate. ๐ฆ๐บโ๏ธ
