CRAVEN LINE-UP COMPLETE

FORMER World Champion Jason Doyle will be chasing a fifth Peter Craven Memorial title in the Belle Vue season opener on March 16.

Doyle is the most successful rider in the history of the event, having emerged victorious for a fourth time in 2023, and the full line-up has now been confirmed.

Chris Holder, Rasmus Jensen, Nicolai Klindt, Niels-Kristian Iversen, Jan Kvech and Charles Wright have all been added to the field which also contains the Aces’ top six along with Max Fricke, Fredrik Lindgren and Tom Brennan.

CEO Mark Lemon said: “The line-up for this meeting states once again that this is a premium event for British Speedway, and I’m very happy with the way it has come together.

“It has prestige written all over it and although people are looking for track time at this time of year, they’ve all got a competitive nature, and that really comes out in this event.

“We have a great racetrack with plenty of places for the riders to go racing, and this meeting does produce great racing year in, year out.

“Brady (Kurtz) is going for three in a row, Doyley wants to make it five, Dan (Bewley) hasn’t won it since 2021, and there are a host of other riders who would love to win it and are capable of doing so.”
