WORKINGTON have retained the services of Troy Batchelor for a second season.
The Australian will assume the captain’s role following the departure of Craig Cook to Berwick and hooks up again with 2024 team-mates Tate Zischke and Antti Vuolas with the Comets. Promoter Andrew Bain said: “I think all our fans will be delighted with this news. Batch was unbelievable for us last season – it was his performances, consistency and constant presence in the team that secured us the play-offs. So with that it was an obvious decision to bring him back – he loves it here! “It was an easy decision for Troy we think as well. Despite the long drive, he says it’s worth it when you get to ride a track like Northside every week. “He is probably one of the most intelligent riders I’ve seen ride Northside, he seems to be one lap ahead of everyone else. Sometimes he might not be the quickest rider on track – but he is definitely the smartest.”
