REDCAR skipper Gary Havelock insists he has no intention of calling time on his career - and wants to lead a Bears recovery next season.The 43-year-old former World Champion was voted the club's rider of the year for the first time, collecting a massive 63.2 per cent of the votes.Havelock said: "It would have been nice to have done it when we'd won something instead of finishing bottom of the league. As captain of the team,that's not a record I'm proud of."We've got to work hard and make sure we don't make the same mistakes nextyear. You're a long time retired so while I can still do it, then bring iton!"
