MULFORD BACK WITH ACES

ROWE Motor Oil Premiership champions Belle Vue will once again track Jake Mulford as their Rising Star next year.

The Aces elected to retain the 20-year-old, who rejoined the club in mid-season after Connor Bailey elected to take time out of the sport, and he enjoyed individual success as well as playing his part in their title win.

CEO Mark Lemon said: “Jake was a natural choice for us. Since riding for the Belle Vue Colts, and making his Premiership debut, he has shown a great deal of promise and potential.

 “We’re very excited to bring him back to Manchester in 2025. We have seen first-hand how he has developed since his first meetings in the Premiership.

 “He is much more confident on the bike and his achievements this season, in particular in the World U23 Long Track championship, are proof of his progression.”
