FORMER Treble-winning Coventry skipper Scott Nicholls will be back at Brandon for Olly Allen's Testimonial meeting on Sunday, August 23.

Nicholls, currently on loan at Ipswich, will be one of several top stars vying for the first prize of a new GM engine at the event.

Also confirming their attendance are Wolverhampton duo Fredrik Lindgren and Tai Woffinden. Swedish star Lindgren is a current Grand Prix competitor, and he pulled off one of the rides of the season at Brandon earlier this month when he secured a dramatic draw for his team in the final race.

Woffinden, meanwhile, is one of the sport's big rising stars tipped for a Grand Prix future - and the same applies to Poole's Australian ace Chris Holder, who will also be taking part.

Several of the field are either current or former team-mates of Allen, with Brandon specialist Simon Stead having ridden alongside him at both Peterborough and Coventry.

And a new name for supporters is Swedish youngster Robin Bergqvist, who will be making his first appearance at Coventry.

With World Championship leader Jason Crump also involved along with current Buildbase Bees stars Chris Harris, Edward Kennett and Ben Barker - plus, of course, Allen himself, a terrific afternoon of racing is expected.

Turnstiles open at 11.30am, the parade is at 12.45pm with the first race at 1pm sharp. The meeting runs over 20 heats and a Grand Final for the top scorers, and is followed by a disco and auction in the Under-stand bar.

The final line-up looks superb & i wouldn't say it's a foregone conclusion Crumpie will win the GM on offer to the winner.

 

 

Really hoping Olly has the excellent day he deserves.

 

Oh, and a few extra pie & chips for Joe.

It's hard to find much about him, he's 19 i think and it looks like he rides in Division 1 for Team Bikab in sweden. From 13 meetings he has an average of 8.07, according to the 'speedway.nu' website.

Apparently when Olly is riding in Sweden, he stays at the Bergqvist household, so Olly invited him along to his event and

also to put himself in the 'shop window'.

Hope this helps.

Do you still think that Colin after Crumpie's performance last night?

I'd say he is a dead cert to win - barring something untoward happening.

I agree with you Gemini --- it almost makes me wish that he wasn't racing so that the whole meeting remained closer! Having said that I am a Crumpy fan and it is not meant as a personal remark before anyone accuses me of being anti social!
