DAN’S THE MAN FOR GB

IPSWICH and Glasgow racer Dan Thompson says his double-figure score for Great Britain at the weekend is perfect preparation for new season in the UK.

Thompson collected an impressive 11+1 in the Test Match win at Kern Raceway and was named as the visitors’ rider of the night.

He said: “I’m really happy with my score. It’s different to ride on equipment you’re unfamiliar with, but I found a good set-up and had speed.

“It was a good victory for Great Britain, and a big thanks to the guys who’ve helped me in the pits.

“Plenty of positives to bring home with me as we get closer to the start of the season.”
