JANOWSKI IN FOR CRAVEN MEMORIAL

FORMER World No.3 Maciej Janowski has been added to the super-strong Peter Craven Memorial line-up at Belle Vue on March 18.

The Polish star, winner of 8 GPs in his career, is back in British racing for the first time in nearly a decade, and will make his debut for his new club Oxford in their season opener against Birmingham on March 14 before undertaking the big individual at the National Speedway Stadium.

Belle Vue CEO Mark Lemon said: “We’re very excited to have Magic joining us for our season opener. It’s another first for this meeting to have him as part of the line-up and he is world class and a well-respected competitor.

“Maciej will be wanting to put the past behind him as his last visit to Manchester, as part of the Poland’s Speedway of Nations team in 2021, ended in tears when jubilant GB went on to win the coveted prize.

“However, despite the outcome that day for Poland, he is entertainment personified and I can’t wait to see him roar around Manchester racetrack again.”
