LEMON: SGP IS MOUTH-WATERING PROSPECT

BELLE Vue CEO Mark Lemon has paid tribute to the club’s directors and partners after the Manchester venue was confirmed on next season’s Grand Prix calendar.

The NSS has hosted the FIM Speedway of Nations Final on two occasions, including this year when GB duo Robert Lambert and Dan Bewley raced to victory, and the duo kicked on from that to secure second and fourth places overall in the individual series.

It means both are confirmed starters for 2025, with the GP coming to Manchester on June 14, and Lemon says securing the event sums up the determination to bring top meetings to the track.

He said: “The prospect of the likes of the present-day superstars like five-times World Champion Bartosz Zmarzlik, Brits Dan Bewley and Robert Lambert, Freddie Lindgren and Martin Vaculik all battling it out at the NSS will be a mouthwatering spectacle for every speedway fan across the globe.

“We are naturally delighted to work closely with Warner Bros. Discovery Sports and Manchester City Council to bring this event to the UK for speedway fans. 

“We are very fortunate to have fabulous directors in Tony Rice and Robin Southwell who constantly strive to bring the best to the club and Manchester. 

“The task is to now make this the most special occasion we possibly can, and it is ready to be one of the outstanding occasions of the 2025 speedway season.”
