FOORD STAYS WITH COMETS

HARD-CHARGING youngster Vinnie Foord will be back at Workington in 2026 after becoming a fans’ favourite in Cumbria during his first season with the club.

The 19-year-old, who made his Cab Direct Championship debut with Poole last year before switching to the Comets for a full campaign, returns to the GT Tyres Arena on a starting average of 3.69.

Club bosses believe his scores did not reflect his efforts and that he will be capable of pushing to reach the middle order of the team, with Foord having been cruelly denied victory in the British Under-19 Final by a mechanical failure when he was leading his last ride.

He joins new signing Jonas Jeppesen and fellow returnee Tate Zischke as confirmed starters for the Comets next year.
