PREVIEW: PETER CRAVEN MEMORIAL, BELLE VUE

BELLE Vue launch their new season with a stellar line-up for the Peter Craven Memorial Trophy tonight (Monday).

Former Aces favourite Dan Bewley defends the title, and is joined in the field by his Speedway of Nations GB winning colleagues Tai Woffinden, Robert Lambert and youngster Tom Brennan.

The meeting also includes previous winner Jason Doyle, British Champion Adam Ellis, and another ex-Aces No.1 Matej Zagar.

Woffinden said: “I’m really excited to be able to get back on a bike in Manchester. It’s a place I really love to race, and I’ve never taken part in this event before.

“This meeting means a lot to Belle Vue and for me it’s all about going out and wanting to give something back to all the British fans who have been so supportive.

“These last two years have been very hard for everyone with Covid, and apart from the British GP this will be the only time British supporters will be able to see me race.

“Looking at the field that has been put together, I think it will be a fantastic meeting and we look forward to an enjoyable night of racing.”

LINE-UP: Tobiasz Musielak, Adam Ellis, Brady Kurtz, Matej Zagar, Nicolai Klindt, Tai Woffinden, Jason Doyle, Tom Brennan, Robert Lambert, Max Fricke, Jye Etheridge, Norick Blodorn, Chris Harris, Niels-Kristian Iversen, Charles Wright, Dan Bewley. Reserves: Connor Bailey, Jack Smith.
