PAIRS FINAL IN LONIGO

GREAT Britain trio Tom Brennan, Dan Thompson and Leon Flint are in Italy today (Sunday) for the final international event of the season.

They compete in the FIME European Pairs Final at Lonigo having booked their place in August at Stralsund when Birmingham and Poole racer Brennan scored a spectacular 18-point maximum.

The opposition includes plenty of familiar faces with Belle Vue’s Norick Blodorn lining up for Germany, his Aces team-mate Antti Vuolas (also Workington) races for Finland, and Edinburgh captain Paco Castagna represents the hosts.

The field is completed by Latvia, a young Polish team, and a strong Danish line-up featuring two former Premiership racers, Rasmus Jensen and Frederik Jakobsen.
