"I know I'm definitely not young any more, but I do feel like I'm still going up in the sport; my last couple of years have shown that because my last two years have been my best." Sam Masters looks ahead to his Testimonial at Wolverhampton.
NOT DONE YET...
"I am doing the best I can at my end. I feel like to give yourself a shot at being in the team, you need to be riding on the continent. You need to have equipment out there and a good set-up. I have put myself in that position this year and got myself a team in the Polish Second Division with Latvian club Daugavpils." Steve Worrall, another of the week's testimonial men, on the season ahead.
EASTMOURN EAGLES
"It's a very sad day not just for us, but for all the thousands of people that have been to the speedway over the years. If we hadn't been turned over, there would probably still be speedway there now." Former Eastbourne star Martin Dugard on the sport’s very precarious future in Sussex.
