HARRIS JOINS CRAVEN LINE-UP

BELLE Vue have added former British Champion Chris Harris to a star-studded line-up for the Peter Craven Memorial on March 18.

Harris is a former winner of the prestige event, having triumphed at the Aces’ previous Kirkmanshulme Lane home in 2010, and he is building up to another big season which will see him represent Oxford and Glasgow in the UK.

The line-up for Belle Vue’s flagship meeting is now just one rider away from completion and already features the likes of Jason Doyle, Dan Bewley, Fredrik Lindgren, Max Fricke, Maciej Janowski and Robert Lambert.

CEO Mark Lemon said: “Chris Harris is a quality rider who, with each season, has been getting stronger and stronger, be in on the shale or on the grass.

“There’s no denying he’s a firm favourite with supporters across the UK, and we’re certainly excited to have him back at the National Speedway Stadium for our opening meeting.

“Chris has plenty to offer in this meeting. He knows what it takes to win, he’s got a wealth of knowledge and track craft at his disposal so let’s see if it’s enough to carry him to victory.”
