Brady Kurtz, the fearless captain of Belle Vue, is ready to battle it out for the prestigious Peter Craven Memorial Trophy. This star-studded event, taking place on March 16th, promises an intense showdown at the National Speedway Stadium. But here's where it gets controversial... Kurtz, the double winner, will face off against a formidable lineup, including his own teammates and some of the sport's biggest names.
The initial rider list for this traditional season opener includes Kurtz, Dan Bewley, Zach Cook, Norick Blodorn, Peter Kildemand, and Tate Zischke, all eager to claim the title. Former club captain Max Fricke joins the mix, along with the talented Tom Brennan and Fredrik Lindgren, a former World No.2 from Sweden.
Belle Vue's CEO, Mark Lemon, emphasizes the significance of this event, saying, "It's the perfect kick-off to the Premiership season, a true test for the club and its riders. We've put in the effort to make this meeting a highlight on the calendar, and the title certainly does it justice. Peter Craven was an icon, and we're honored to celebrate his legacy with a meeting of such caliber."
Lemon further explains, "When I joined Belle Vue, I envisioned creating an event that riders would crave to be a part of. Each year, we've strived to improve, and the riders' enthusiasm has made my job a breeze. The crowds always show up in droves, and the grand finale with the five-rider semi and six-rider Final is nothing short of breathtaking. Our sport often goes unnoticed, but moments like these make you sit up and say, 'Wow!'"
