FLINT BACK WITH WOLVES

BRITISH Under-19 and Under-21 Champion Leon Flint has secured a return to Wolverhampton as the club’s Rising Star.

Flint has held that position since joining the Monmore Green club partway through the 2021 campaign, and he becomes the fourth rider from this year’s team to be confirmed for next season.

Team manager Peter Adams said: “He rode well domestically with some brilliant performances along the way for Wolverhampton, he was second in Berwick’s Championship averages, he represented Great Britain very well abroad, and those two individual titles were important for him as well.

“They showed that he can handle those kinds of pressure situations, and we’re glad to be continuing with Leon.

“We had to wait for the AGM to clarify the criteria for next season’s Rising Star programme, but when we knew Leon was available to us, it didn’t take us very long at all to decide that we should persevere with him because he’s a good, young talent and we know there’s an even better rider in there than we have already seen in some performances at Wolverhampton.”
