"All athletes go through rough patches and I have been stuck in one for a long time. But we continued the hard work and kept believing that eventually it was going to turn around." And for Mikkel Michelsen, things did turn around... in quite spectacular fashion at the German GP!
PRICE FRIGHT
"We want to bring the best events to Manchester to showcase the sport. There's a premium cost involved in that to have the franchise and Warner Bros. Discovery to co-host the event. To be quite honest, it will cost over £500,000 to stage the Speedway of Nations. That’s a fact" Belle Vue's Mark Lemon crunches the SoN numbers...
THE LONG GAME
"Mark Cossar never started off winning everything. It took years to master his craft into what he is now. You see him now and you think, 'you're just different gravy'. I've never seen someone in the sport like Mark. You take your hat off to him." Comeback man Robbie Simmons is setting his sights on the British Masters sidecar crown.
