While he continues his fight against a rare and aggressive form of cancer, Richards says that he didn't want to let the Brad Jones Racing team down.
“The enduros are very important, but the reality is that I don't want to put my body through the pressure of doing those long distance racers and potentially letting the team down if I'm physically unable,” Richards said.
“If I can't run at the level I want to run at, I don't want to make up the numbers.”
