Report

LEON Flint was crowned British Under-21 Champion with a faultless display at his former home track Birmingham on Wednesday.

The Berwick and Wolverhampton youngster completed the double of Under-19 and Under-21 titles in the same season, adding to his U19 victory at Redcar earlier in the season.

Flint scored a 15-point maximum in the qualifying races at Perry Barr and then won a re-started Final after Tom Brennan, already riding through the pain barrier, crashed spectacularly on the second lap.

Dan Thompson finished second after a consistent display throughout the evening, with Connor Bailey third after an eventful night which saw him win his first three rides.

Flint said: “I always enjoy coming back to Birmingham; this is where I first rode in the National League and I’ve always enjoyed coming back here ever since.

“I get on so well with the supporters here, I don’t know what it is but it’s a place that holds many special memories for me.

“It felt good to go through the card like I did in the Under-19s and it’s just nice to get this smile back after a rough couple of weeks with plenty of travelling and bike prep.”
