HARRIS CHAMPION AT LAST!
CHRIS Harris ended his long wait for a Championship League Riders’ title with victory at the seventh time of asking at Scunthorpe on Sunday.
The Glasgow skipper, who had twice previously finished runner-up in the event, headed up a Tigers one-two in the Final with a superb move to slice between team-mate Kyle Howarth and home No.1 Steve Worrall on the opening lap.
Worrall had led the qualifying scores on 14 points, being denied a maximum by Redcar’s Charles Wright who also made the Final but finished off the rostrum.
Harris said: “This is a really special win for me. It’s a title I wanted to tick off my list. I’ve won almost everything now in British Speedway.
“The day started good and then there were a few issues with set-ups.
“We made a bit of a gamble in the Final and it worked. I made the cut back and went through the middle.”
