MASTERS STAYS AS SKIPPER

SAM Masters will stay on as Wolverhampton skipper in 2023.

The news was confirmed by team manager Peter Adams at Monday night’s Winter Talk-In, with Masters retaining his role despite the return of former captain Rory Schlein, who is back next year after cutting short his plans to retire.  

“I think Sam has done a sterling job as captain both on track as well as off it,” Adams said.

“So I wouldn’t want to disrupt that, and that’s why he’ll be continuing as club captain in 2023.

“The personality that Rory is though, he won’t be able to help himself and I’m sure it will be like having two captains in the pits.

“Rory will still be parading up and down those pits I can assure you, and with the rest of the team having both him and Sam to go and talk to and discuss things with, as well as ride with out on the track, I think something like that stands us in very good stead.”
