Highly Successful Staging Of Testimonial 22 March 2016 Well the sun shone, the turnstiles clicked with a big crowd in Brandon, and the meeting was run very slickly, the auction saw some big bids and everyone went home happy at Bomber’s Big Bang on Sunday. So much hard work had gone into the event and it all proved worthwhile in the end . 12 months after the rain had caused the staging of the event to be called off. A year later all the elements were in Chris’s favour with a better line-up , good weather and a good turn out from sponsors and fans alike. Out on track the proceedings started with 6 Young Lions races at 500, 250 and 125cc levels and the kids were given a rousing reception after their races. After the parade Chris zoomed up into the referee’s box to start heat one which had two re-starts after the tapes were broken first time out then, as if planned by the riders to play Chris up , no one dropped their clutch when the tapes rose !! The races had no real delays with riders out for the next heat straight away as soon as the last race finished ….which was much appreciated by the large crowd. The Young Lions had their final races in each section after the interval with the crowd giving all 12 of them deserved applause as they rode back to the pits It was then back to the main event with some cracking racing with the Nikki Pedersen races with Ed Kennett and Craig Cook superb action . The lads then raced off in four finals with the D final won by Kenneth Hansen , Richie Worrall taking the C Final, Andreas Jonsson the B Final and the A final honours went to Jason Doyle ahead of Nikki P, Rory Schlein and Scott Nicholls. Kryzysztof Kasprazak took the fastest time award whilst Jason Doyle was voted by the sponsors as Rider of the meeting. After the presentations the proceedings moved to the understand bar for the auction where the body colours, three programmes signed by all the riders, an old race suit and helmet of Bombers were auctioned off with some amazing bidding on some items. Chris reflected on a great day, “ I can’t thank everyone enough for making my big day such a success. All the riders were magnificent and put on a great show. The sponsors were unbelievable and the fans turned out in big numbers with the sun shining all afternoon. “ “My testimonial committee all did a first class job and put in so much hard work on my behalf and I must thank them all . My fiancée Emma-Louise was unbelievable –a true work machine and without her this would never have happened.” “Thank you one and all!”

TREBLE World Champion Nicki Pedersen is the first rider to be confirmed for Chris Harris’s Testimonial meeting at Brandon on Sunday March 20. The Danish superstar has not raced regularly in the UK since 2011 when he lined up in the Elite League for Peterborough. But he remains one of the biggest draw-cards in speedway with 16 Grand Prix wins to his name, overall podium finishes in three of the last four years, and a no-holds-barred approach to racing which undoubtedly boosts attendance figures wherever he appears. The 38-year-old made his Elite League debut with Wolverhampton back in 1999, and secured the sport’s top honour in 2003, 2007 and 2008. Harris is celebrating over a decade of service to the Buildbase Bees, and to British Speedway in general with his benefit meeting, which is expected to attract a bumper attendance to Brandon. The Coventry skipper is working on putting together the line-up for what promises to be a packed afternoon of racing with the main event being an Individual meeting featuring 16 riders and based on the ‘old’ Grand Prix format - with the regular 20 heats followed by D, C, B and A Finals. Harris said: “Nicki is one of the real characters of the sport and the fans in this country don’t get the chance to see him race here too often, so it’s great to have him for my meeting. “I’m sure he’ll be determined to come and put on a good show, and my thanks to him for taking the booking. It’s an excellent start to the line-up. “We want to make it an enjoyable day for everyone and I know the fans want to watch speedway, so the plan is to give them plenty of racing and I hope they’ll be pleased with what we come up with.” Gates open at midday on Sunday March 20, with the first race at 2pm. Further names for the meeting will be announced soon.

If it does become a SKY match I will have to move date as normally they do not like 2nd halves .....which is a pity ! Fixtures amended : amazingly after issuing the fixtures we already have had to do some changes ...some of which help clubs out.

City Gearboxes MDL 2016 The CITY GEARBOXES sponsored Midland Development League held a highly successful AGM at the BSPA offices in Rugby on Wednesday. The 2016 season looks to be an exciting one as the league takes on a completely new format incorporating two separate league set-ups culminating in a Grand Final at the end of the season. Eight clubs will come to the line in 2016 with three clubs not entering sides in Wolverhampton, Stoke and Peterborough –although Milton Keynes will race their fixtures at the Showground. They raced at Mildenhall last year but the Fen Tigers will be having their own side at West Row in 2016. The league split sees the clubs meet each other in their section twice home and away with the table topping side in each mini-league at the cut -off point fighting it out to be crowned the 2016 MDL champions . The leagues have in section 1: Belle Vue, Buxton, Scunthorpe and Long Eaton; section 2 : Mildenhall, Kings Lynn, Milton Keynes and Coventry. The MDLRC will again be staged at Scunthorpe after last year’s successful event with Bank Holiday Monday August 29th pencilled in for the prestigious league event. Joint co-ordinator Dale Allitt saw the meeting as being a success, “There was a lot of constructive talk from all parties and the spirit of co-operation in ensuring the MDL continues to grow was very evident. We voted in several important changes that need ratifying but it was all very positive from one and all.” Fellow joint co-ordinator Laurence Rogers agreed wholeheartedly with this, “ it was one of the most constructive meetings I have ever been at. The split into two sections was unanimously agreed and will be good for one and all. We have some ideas as to what each section of the league might be called but need to run these past the BSPA and SCB. It all looks very exciting .”

Kk In For Bombers Big Day 09 February 2016 Returning Bee in 2016 Krzystof Kasprazak joins the highly impressive line-up for his skipper Chris Harris’s testimonial at Brandon on Sunday March 20th.The enigmatic Pole first came to the UK in 2003 joining Poole and has graced the colours of Lakeside, Belle Vue and Birmingham as well as two other spells in Bees colours in 2010 and 2013. He was crowned World Under 21 Champion in 2005 and took his national Polish title in 2014. His Gp record shows 52 appearances scoring 370 points with 3 GP wins in 12 finals. He is really looking forward to being back in Coventry colours alongside Bomber with a great friendly rivalry to be the team’s number one . Chris is glad he is back and riding in his meeting, “ KK is a class act and we are both looking forward to leading the Bees to success this year. I had to wait to see if his fixtures allowed him to ride in my meeting and thankfully he can do it joining what is a superb line-up for my big day.”

Coventry fan’s favourite JASON GARRITY has been added to the impressive line-up for the Chris Harris Testimonial at Brandon on Sunday March 20th . The popular Mancunian has made the big step up into the main body of the Bees side for the forthcoming season as well as returning to double-up with Premier League side Sheffield. He joined the Tigers mid-way through the 2015 season after electing initially to forgo the Premier League leaving Rye House to concentrate on his Elite League racing. He was an instant success at Sheffield and finished top of their averages in 2015 with a 8. 46 figure scoring 201 points in 20 matches. Started riding in 2009 joining Buxton after becoming the British Under 15 Champion in 2008 and won the league title with the Hitmen the following season. Was British under 19 Champ in 2011 and also won the National League Rider’s Champion the same year. Now in his third season at Coventry he really wanted to ride in the meeting , he said, “ Chris has done so much to help me and has been a great skipper. When I got back from my holiday in Australia I was straight on the phone asking to be included .” Chris commented , “ How could I not include Jase. He is such a character and the fans love him.” Exciting young Aussie Max Fricke, who impressed one and all at Brandon in the Play-offs in 2014 in Bees colours as a guest, joins a star studded line-up for the Chris Harris Testimonial on Sunday March 20th. The Belle Vue rider , three times Australian Under 21 Champion in 2013-15, first came to the UK in 2013 spending two seasons with the Monarchs taking a league winners medal in 2014 and also was one half the Premier League Pairs winners that same year. The 19 year old is highly rated and will undoubtedly be a spoiler in the meeting which promises to be a humdinger looking at the line-up so far. Chris believes that it will be a meeting not to miss, “ I can’t believe at the response from the lads who have agreed to ride, the line-up is looking very juicy! Adding Max to it is another good capture as the lad rides Coventry so well .”

The Danish influence on Chris Harris’s Testimonial has increased to five with Grand Prix rider NIELS KRISTIAN IVERSEN added to what is becoming a tremendous turn out of world stars “PUK”, as he known , joins fellow countrymen Nikki Pedersen, Mikkel Bech, Bjarne Pedersen and Kenneth Hansen in the 16 man field that will do battle on Sunday 20th March at Coventry in a 20 heat showdown with four finals. The World No, 3 in 2014 has elected to sit out the 2016 Elite League after spending the past five seasons in Kings Lynn colours . First came to the UK joining Kings Lynn in 2001 for their final three meetings but then didn’t return until Newport brought him back in 2003. Four Times Danish Champion , winning the title for the past four years and has four Grand Prix wins to his credit and one of the most stylish performers in World Speedway. Chris is really looking forward to his big day, “ Every time we add another top name to the line-up I get more and more excited about the meeting. Puk’s inclusion is a big plus as he is not riding in Britain this year and is a top drawer addition . Roll on March 20th I say!”

Another Coventry icon has joined the impressive line-up for the Chris Harris Testimonial at Brandon with the latest capture being the ever popular SCOTT NICHOLLS. Scott’s time as Bee alongside Bomber has seen many successes and countless 5-1 heat wins . The seven times British Champion has had many classic battles with Chris when racing in the colours of Swindon and his current club Belle Vue . He is now also carving a career outside riding with his expert analysis and interviewing on Sky and Euro Sport but still a force to be reckoned with on his bike at the top level of the sport. Chris is pleased his former team mate is riding in his meeting, “ Scott and I have always had a friendly rivalry even when team mates but we both have immense respect for each other and I am happy he can do my meeting on Sunday March 20th with a line-up that is second to none.”

Danish International Bjarne Pedersen becomes the latest addition for the Chris Harris Testimonial at Coventry on Sunday March 20th in what is becoming a top class line-up Back in the Elite League with Lakeside in 2016 Bjarne had a spell to forget last year at Leicester before he called it a day on his spell with the Lions but he is back refreshed and ready for action this year. Started his UK career with Newcastle in 2000 before linking with Poole in 2002 he has ridden in 71 Grand Prix’s with one GP win to his name when he was European Champion in 2004 and an amazing 519 points scored in the competition. Chris comments, “ Bjarne is a class act and it was good to hear from him that he had a blank date in his diary on March 20th and would be at my testimonial. We are certainly putting together a good line-up for the meeting and I am sure the fans will be entertained with all we are planning.”

Latest addition to the Chris Harris Testimonial is Danish whiz-kid Mikkel Bech . The 2014 Danish under 21 Champion has moved clubs for 2016 joining Wolverhampton after two seasons at Lakeside Highly rated in his native Denmark the 21 year old posted a creditable 6.16 Elite League average last year. He finished 4th in the World Under 21 series with 29 points in the three meetings. He showed a liking for the Brandon circuit when he notched 12 points for Lakeside in 2014 winning his first four races before falling in heat 15 . Chris thinks he could be a spoiler in the meeting , “ Mikkel certainly likes Coventry and could be one to watch in my meeting. He asked if he could get a booking for the meeting through his mechanic Del Rowe –whose 14 year old son Anders is part of Team Harris as rider #437!”

Latest addition to the line-up for Chris Harris’s Testimonial at Coventry on Sunday March 20th is World No. 5 JASON DOYLE . The all action Aussie notched up an impressive 114 points in his debut Grand Prix season which ended painfully when he crashed in the Final in Melbourne. He is now fully fit and looking forward to the GP’s and leading Swindon in the Elite League having returned to his 2012 side after being at Leicester last year First rode in the UK for the Isle of Wight in 2005 and has really blossomed as a World Class rider in the past year having still doubled up from the Premier League as recent as 2013 with Somerset where he was one half of the PL Best Pairs winners. Chris is pleased his GP rival has agreed to ride in his meeting, “ I get on really well with Doyley. We pit next to each other at the GP’s and have some really good banter . He’s a tough cookie and gives his all in every race.”

With six of the sixteen riders named for the BOMBER BIG BANG meeting at Brandon on Sunday March 20th , Chris reached the half-way point by adding 2016 team mates James Sarjeant and newcomer Kacper Woryna to the line-up. Sarjeant is in his third season in the Bees side having been picked as one of their Elite league draft system riders in 2014. He has been a Coventry asset since 2009 but did not appear in the club colours until he joined Coventry Storm in 2013. He won the New Zealand Solo Championship in January 2015 and he is looking to get some pre-season action in February riding in America. Woryna is the Bees latest capture on the recommendation of skipper Harris who rode with the 19 year old at Rybnik in the Polish league last year. He was runner-up in the Polish Youth Championship in 2015 and graduated from 80cc racing where he was 2011 Polish Individual Champion. He is highly regarded and has a reputation as a showman already. Chris welcomes having two current Bees in the line-up so far, “ Both Sarj and Kacper were keen to help me celebrate my big meeting and I am glad to have the pair in my meeting. The line-up is really coming together now with eight more to name …..as you might guess I might just be one of them myself !”

The queue for ex-Bees to ride for Chris Harris in his BIG BANG TESTIMONIAL meeting at Brandon on Sunday 20th March continues with the addition of Kenneth Hansen and Edward Kennett. Following on adding ex-Bees Rory Schlein and Kyle Howarth the duo were confirmed by Chris , who is busily working on getting the line-up completed as soon as possible. Hansen , currently on a riding holiday in Australia, is looking forward to returning to Brandon for the event. He rode in Bees colours in 2014 doing a solid job for the club. He returned to the Premier League with Workington in 2015, the team he made his British debut for in 2007 ,and he will be back in Comets colours in 2016. Kennett had four seasons for Coventry between 2009 and 2012 having started with Rye House in the Conference League in 2001. He was crowned British Under 21 Champion in 2005 and will double-up between Rye House in the Premier League and Lakeside in the Elite League in 2016. Chris is pleased to add the duo to his meeting , “ Both Kenneth and Ed were keen to do my meeting so I am glad to be able to include them both. The line-up is really taking shape with Nicki Pedersen, Andreas Jonsson, Rory Schlein, Kyle Howarth plus Ed Kennett and Kenneth Hansen named so far .”

Latest duo to be added to the line-up for BOMBERS BIG BANG TESTIMONIAL at Coventry on Sunday March 20th are former team mates Rory Schlein and Kyle Howarth. Kings Lynn skipper Schlein is a near neighbour of Chris having settled in the Coventry area with his family . He spent six seasons in Bees colours from 2005-2010 and is making his comeback from injury having missed a large part of the 2015 season after a bad crash in May suffering a spinal injury but thankfully he has made a full recovery and looking forward to the 2016 season. Was Elite League Rider’s Champion in 2011 and 2013 he joined Edinburgh in 2001 after winning the 2000 Australian Under 16 championship. Howarth has had two spells in Coventry colours in 2014 then was brought in to replace the injured Stuart Robson in 2015. The reigning British Under 21 Champion will be racing for Wolverhampton in the Elite League and Sheffield in the Premier League. He started racing speedway in 2008 in amateur events before claiming a team spot with Scunthorpe in 2009 scoring 13+2 on his debut! Chris comments, “ both Rory and Kyle were keen to do the meeting and it is good to add two more former team mates to the line-up to join Andreas Jonsson and Nicki Pedersen. “

Following on from the capture of three times World Champion Nikki Pedersen for the CHRIS HARRIS TESTIMONIAL at Coventry on Sunday March 20th the second rider to be announced is Swedish International and former Coventry Bee ANDREAS JONSSONAJ is still a popular figure at his former track and will be a popular addition to the line-up with more names due to be announced later this week . He has had two spells in Bees colours in 1998-99 and 2001-2005. The three times Swedish Champion has been a Grand Prix regular and was World No. 2 in 2011 winning three rounds in that series. Was World Under 21 Champion in 2000 and three times World Team Cup winner. Now racing in the colours of Lakeside in the Elite League Chris is pleased his former team mate has agreed to join his big day, “ I wanted to get AJ there and thankfully he has a space in his diary on March 20th so has accepted and I know that the fans will be pleased he has.”

most, if not all , clubs hope to use as near to a squad as possible but this is not always possible for a variety of reasons. The regionalisation is to help reduce outgoings for the lads and dads (and mums etc!) as these riders receive no travel or points money at all. Riders will still appear for more than one team but not as much and I have had several new names to add to the MDL database plus some teams already have some new names for 2016

A new junior training track is due to open in November based at The Ranch Moto-Cross track in the Midlands.

MDL The 2015 MDL title has been a close run competition. Despite a cut-off point on September 15th the new champions have not been declared whilst consideration of fixtures up to that point were looked at by the SCB and the MDL. Although Belle Vue led the table at the cut-off date ahead of Kings Lynn a cancellation at late notice by Long Eaton at Kings Lynn was investigated. The Invaders pulled out of the fixture due to being unable to track a team with no dates before the cut-off date forfeited the meeting. Until a full investigation was made the points had not been awarded to Kings Lynn but this has now been concluded and the points awarded to Kings Lynn. Belle Vue were unable to race their match with Peterborough after the Elite League Play-Off semi-final after rain caused that meeting to be curtailed after heat 14. All these points were considered in the final decision and as a result of all this the 2015 MDL title goes to Kings Lynn Lightning.
