BRUMMIES LOOK ‘SOLID’

BIRMINGHAM boss Chris Adams is excited by the ‘solid’ side he will get to work with in his first season in charge at Perry Barr.

The Brummies have now named their septet for the 2025 ROWE Motor Oil Premiership campaign with recent signings Michael Jepsen Jensen and Antti Vuolas completing a septet which is entirely changed from last year.
They launch their season with the home leg of their Knockout Cup tie against Leicester on Monday, March 24, and Adams is counting down the days.

“On paper the team looks solid to me,” he said. “I’m pleased with the way the team has turned out and I’m confident that it can compete with the other teams in the league.
“I think we have some strength in there for sure, we have some experience in there and I’m sure they will all get on and work as a team together.
“Everyone at the club has been working tirelessly behind the scenes so far and I’m sure they feel the pressure has been released a bit knowing we have a good side together.”

WORKINGTON newcomer Fraser Bowes has spoken of his excitement to be racing in the UK for the first time – and he’s delighted to be at the GT Tyres Arena.
23-year-old Australian racer Bowes, the son of former racer Shane, is building up to a busy season as he is also set to compete in Poland and Sweden.

And he says joining the Comets is the perfect way to get started in the Cab Direct Championship.
He said: “I had been in contact with James [Denham] and Steve [Lawson] for a while about coming over.
“There was someone behind the scenes advising me where to go and we said that with Steve’s knowledge, it’s a no-brainer to go to Workington and I couldn’t be in better hands.

“Having Troy (Batchelor) in the team will be great. He’s a former GP rider and been there and done it, so he comes with a lot of knowledge, and I’ll be able to get advice from him. I think the team looks strong.”

The Cowley club are once again running at all three levels in 2025, and The Real Mini Company have agreed to continue their backing, stepping up from co-sponsors of the NDL team last year.

Based in Berinsfield, The Real Mini Company specialises in Mini restoration catering for all models of the classic Mini range of cars.
Oxford promoter Jamie Courtney said: “I can’t thank the team at The Real Mini Company enough for continuing their support for our up-and-coming stars.”

LEICESTER star Ryan Douglas is set to assemble a strong field for his Testimonial Meeting at the Hydroscand Arena, Beaumont Park on Saturday March 22.
Former Australian Champion Rohan Tungate is the latest addition to the line-up which also includes his successor Brady Kurtz, and 2017 World Champion Jason Doyle.

Douglas has also confirmed Tobiasz Musielak, home star Sam Masters and Lewis Kerr for his benefit event.
He said: “It’s an honour to have Doyley in my meeting. I really look up to him and his professionalism in the sport – he’s an all-round good bloke.
“Rohan had a good return to British Speedway last season, and it’s good to have another Aussie mate in my meeting.
“The line-up is starting to come together, thanks to the legends who have agreed to ride, with more announcements coming soon.”
