THE JOHNO TESTIMONIAL: Coventry, 22nd June 2008, 1pm

1976 World Champion PETER COLLINS will be turning out for a demonstration ride during Steve Johnston’s Testimonial,
and he will have his World Final winning bike at the event.

The legendary “PC” has known Johno since his early days in the UK. “I’ve been a lot of trips with him – Poland, Germany,
and when he was at Long Eaton I used to go with him back in those days when he was short of someone.

“I took him on his first trip to Lonigo in Italy when he was just a young kid and he did very well, and that sowed the seeds for
what’s happened for him there since. He’s certainly a star in Lonigo!

“He’s a great guy Johno, full of enthusiasm. He’s done really well for English Speedway, come over here and roughed it out and never complained,
made himself a good career. When he goes back to Perth finally he’ll have some great memories of Britain and Europe.”



RIDERS ANNOUNCED SO FAR: LEIGH ADAMS, SCOTT NICHOLLS, JASON CRUMP. DEMONSTRATION RIDE BY PETER COLLINS.

THE JOHNO TESTIMONIAL: Coventry, 22nd June 2008, 1pm

Steve Johnston has added two of the World’s best young riders to his Testimonial lineup – British Under-21 Champion TAI WOFFINDEN and Australian Champion CHRIS HOLDER.

Tai says “Johno has been around since I was born. He used to live with my mum and dad when I was young and I’ve pretty much grown up with him, out in Australia as well. He’s a great, great family friend, a top bloke.

“He’s definitely good fun and helped me out loads with my speedway. I used his bike when we first came over, and in Australia as well, and he’s given me loads of tips.”

Chris added “I didn’t really know him personally back home because he’s from the other side of Australia but I’ve always known about him, and heard that he’s good to be around. Since I’ve started riding seniors he’s always been good, giving me advice.

“I’m pretty stoked he picked me to ride in his Testimonial!”



RIDERS ANNOUNCED SO FAR: LEIGH ADAMS, SCOTT NICHOLLS, JASON CRUMP, CHRIS HOLDER, TAI WOFFINDEN. DEMONSTRATION RIDE BY PETER COLLINS.

I wrote it with the intention of meaning that hopefully Rory would be included, because out of the top australians, he is one that has not been announced, however it came out a little bit wrong but made me safrican american none the less.
