THOMPSON CALLED UP FOR SGP2

IPSWICH and Plymouth youngster Dan Thompson has received a call-up for the FIM SGP2 (World Under-21) season finale at Torun on Friday.

Thompson has enjoyed an excellent campaign and starred for Great Britain in the Speedway of Nations 2 event at Belle Vue in July before suffering a shoulder injury midway through the meeting.

He gets his opportunity in the third and final round of SGP2 due to injuries elsewhere in the field, with Thompson having been named as third reserve for the series.

Birmingham and Glasgow racer Leon Flint is a full-time member of the SGP2 line-up, and he goes into the meeting in 13^th place in the standings on 11 points.
