COLTS BRING IN COLES

BELLE Vue have added Connor Coles to their National Development League team leaving them just one spot to fill for the new season.

Coles joins the Colts after racing for Stoke in 2019, when he also enjoyed a spell in the Championship with Edinburgh – and he follows in the footsteps of father Michael who rode for the senior Aces side in 1994.

He said: “Riding for Belle Vue will be a new experience for me but I’m really looking forward to it, especially having the National Speedway Stadium as my home track.

“It’s so unique and I feel like if I can master this place, it’ll pay dividends for me at other clubs. I’m pretty confident at most places, but I know I can still improve.

“If there’s one thing I’d like to aim for this year it’s to be No.1 in the team. I’ve never been in that position before so that is high on my agenda.”
