GUSTS COMPLETES SPIRES

OXFORD Spires have announced the signing of Latvian racer Francis Gusts to complete their ROWE Motor Oil Premiership line-up.

Gusts, 22, already has an impressive pedigree in continental racing including appearances in SGP2 and in his home Grand Prix as a Wild Card, whilst in 2021 he won the European Under-19 title in Riga.

Having joined the Sandy Lane club he will be racing in the UK for the first time and he joins an ever-increasing list of Premiership new or returning riders in recent seasons.

Oxford promoter Jamie Courtney said: “I have worked day and night to find the right seven riders for Oxford. In the end I am delighted to have signed Francis.

“He is young and enthusiastic, exciting to watch and is someone destined for good things in this sport. Most importantly he wants to be a part of what we are creating at Oxford.”
