SO CLOSE FOR BEWLEY IN SGP GERMANY OPENER

BELLE Vue star Dan Bewley went agonisingly close to an incredible unbeaten performance in Saturday’s FIM Grand Prix of Germany in Landshut.

Bewley raced to a brilliant 15-point maximum in the qualifying races of the series opener before finishing runner-up in the Final as full-time series debutant Kacper Woryna took the win.

Had Bewley gone through the card he would have been the first rider to do so since Leon Madsen at Torun in October 2019.

But the Aces man, who will be back to race for the Manchester club against Northampton at midday on Bank Holiday Monday, was still pleased with his efforts, whilst Robert Lambert was fourth overall with the British duo split by World Champion Bartosz Zmarzlik.

Bewley said: “The track was it was. There was a bit of bouncing around and I enjoyed it, to be fair. It’s not a bad start to the year.
“Congrats to Kacper on his first win. I am looking forward to the next few meetings.”

BSN Series holders Redcar are through to this season’s semi-finals after a 48-42 win at Workington ensured they topped the Northern group.

Bears reserve Jody Scott put on a sensational display at the GT Tyres Arena with 11 points from his first four rides, and he teamed up with colleague Ace Pijper (6+3) for a key 5-1 in Heat 12.

The Comets had previously fought back from six points down but they were unable to respond fully to that setback, and Nicolai Klindt (13+1) clinched the away win in an excellent Heat 15.

Jake Allen (10) also hit double figures for the visitors, whilst Workington No.1 Jonas Jeppesen scored 16 from six rides.

BERWICK look set for a place in the BSN Series semi-finals after a thumping 57-33 win over Edinburgh which also secured the aggregate point.

The Bandits now top the Scottish group ahead of Sunday’s derby clash between Glasgow and Edinburgh and they also have a better race points difference than Workington who finished runners-up in the northern section.

The aggregate point became the main issue at Shielfield Park with the scores tied overall after Heat 13, but a 4-2 in Heat 14 edged the Bandits ahead before guest Leon Flint and Nick Morris wrapped things up in the finale.

Flint scored 13 points with Morris and another guest Sam Hagon both scoring 10+1, whilst Kye Thomson put on a tremendous battling show for the Monarchs with 15 from seven rides.
Berwick manager Stewart Dickson said: “I’m proud of the way we did our jobs tonight and the riders’ reward looks like being a second semi-final.

“Both guests gave us full commitment and backed up the regular Bandits superbly well.

“Losing Peter Kildemand on Friday night meant we were up against it but I am delighted to say we got the job done.”

Monarchs boss Alex Harkess said: “It was a very disappointing result. At the end of the day we only had one rider that we could depend on, and even he ran out of steam eventually, but it’s a hard track to do seven rides on.

“Kye did very, very well but there wasn’t enough back-up and we are very disappointed.”

GLASGOW and Edinburgh clash in a crucial BSN Series contest at Ashfield today (Sunday, 3pm) which will resolve the Scottish section.

The winners of the match will top the group and secure a semi-final place, whilst a draw would leave the situation in Glasgow’s favour regardless of any Super Heat outcome, with the sides having finished 45-45 when they met at Armadale last month.

Both sides are at full strength with Leon Flint and Mario Hausl returning for the Tigers after missing last weekend’s MAXiCab KO Cup exit to Plymouth, whilst former Glasgow star Dan Thompson is back at No.1 for the Monarchs.

Tigers boss Cami Brown said: “The Scottish derby always brings out an extra few per cent from every rider, they know what it means to the fans.

“We know what our top three can do. They’ve been consistent but they need a bit more back-up. If we can do that, we can get the results we want and need. 

“We know this is the meeting that all the fans from both clubs love the most and there will be a special atmosphere at Ashfield on Sunday afternoon. 

“Last season we had four sensational meetings with the Monarchs at our place. Three of them, on aggregate, ended with just two points between the sides. It’s going to be a close call again this season. It should be another cracker.”

GLASGOW: Chris Harris, Mario Hausl, Leon Flint, Kevin Juhl Pedersen, Kyle Howarth, Sam Hagon, Freddy Hodder.

EDINBURGH: Dan Thompson, Jonatan Grahn, Justin Sedgmen, Paco Castagna, Kye Thomson, Mitchell Cluff, Jordy Loftus.
