CAB DIRECT BRITISH FINAL COUNTDOWN

BELLE VUE CEO Mark Lemon is hoping for a repeat of last season’s epic conclusion when the Cab Direct British Final takes place in Manchester on Saturday.

Robert Lambert will defend the title he won in an incredible decider last May when he got the better of Charles Wright, Dan Bewley and Chris Harris in a race regarded as one of the best in the history of the sport.

The event has received further major prominence this season with the live coverage on ITV4 and ITVX, as well as outside the UK on FIM Moto TV, and the involvement of Cab Direct as sponsors.

Lemon said: “Racing-wise I think we topped everything with last year’s Final which any one of the four riders could have won as they headed into the last bend, with Robert Lambert eventually coming out on top.

“Robert is back to defend his title, which is great to see, and I’m sure he will start as favourite in many people’s eyes given his very impressive current form, and the fact that he’s a serious World title contender along with Brady Kurtz and Bartosz Zmarzlik.

“But he has to get to the Final first and then it’s all about one race so there is always plenty of jeopardy.

“We had a hugely successful Grand Prix weekend here in June with two memorable events including racing that was of the highest possible standard, and I know the British riders will be ultra-keen to put on a big show.”
