COMETS CAPTURE BOWES

WORKINGTON will hand a UK debut to Australian newcomer Fraser Bowes next season.

23-year-old Bowes, who has been racing in Europe in recent years, is the son of former Glasgow, Reading and Coventry rider Shane and will enter the Cab Direct Championship on a 5.00 average with the Comets.

Promoter Andrew Bain said: “From what we have seen of Fraser so far, he could really be something special. He was really eager to join us this year after seeing and hearing about our track and what we have achieved.

“Also I think seeing the highly successful UK debuts of his fellow Australian Tate [Zischke], and Antti [Vuolas] last season, has really motivated him to join us and British Speedway for 2025.

“Both us and Fraser think Northside will be the best track for him to develop his career going forward, and from a club perspective it’s great to continue building on our asset base from last season.”
