WookieboyDon Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago (edited) Ducati have entered the FIM World Flat Track Championship with Ashton Boughen as their rider! Great gig for the lad. Hopefully the world will see the talent that is obviously there. Edited 10 hours ago by WookieboyDon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat track is between speedway & moto X many of the riders have a moto X background & just freewheel into the turns with his experience with speedway he should be near the front for the most part it will only be the final rounds where he may find it a little tougher. The FIM Flat track event has got much closer & much faster over a few short years as the riders and their machines have adapted. I will stick my neck out now & say if Ashton & Ducati complete the full season he could be in the top 6 at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to think again as he is already upto speed as he finished 2nd in the Italian championship meeting and it was the very first meeting he’d competed in ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway riders generally go pretty well straight away but then have to adapt their style to consistently be at the front against good riders. Good riders use their brake both into and out of corners and the tyres make it very different to riding Speedway. Ashton will need to do very well indeed to be in the top 6 in this competition. There are some very good riders including Sammy Halbert a rider who is still competitive at the top level in the USA but doesn't get it all his own way in the FIM Championship. Ashton will be doing very well to be the 3rd best British rider behind Tim Neave and Jack Bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
