Report
BELLE Vue moved to the top of the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership with a hard-fought 48-42 win over King’s Lynn in Manchester on Monday.
The Aces secured match and aggregate points against the Stars but the depleted visitors remained in contention throughout and achieved the best points total of any away side at the National Speedway Stadium so far this season.
Ben Cook continued his strong form for the Aces with 12+1 whilst Dan Bewley celebrated his birthday with 11 from four rides. Danish duo Michael Palm Toft (11+1) and Niels-Kristian Iversen (10) led the Stars’ resistance.
Aces’ German international Norick Blodorn (7+1) said: “I think we were a little surprised at how strong King’s Lynn were.
“You can never underestimate anyone in speedway, though, and they were determined to get something out of tonight and they proved that in the first few races.
“But I think once we settled in and got into our rhythm we managed to hold them off and it’s another great win for the team, and we went top of the table as well.”
Stars boss Rob Lyon said: “I’m very proud of them. They all had spells where they rode really well, a little bit inconsistent at times but the gates were the reason for that.
“They really took it to Belle Vue though and if we’d have had a full team we’d have probably nicked it if I’m being honest.”
