Team GB in Herxhiam Germany

With the late withdrawal of Steven Worrall through injury on Friday night, a GB Team which consisted of the young and adventurous Stefan Nielson, Tom Bacon and Danyon Hume and Worrall’s late replacement David Wallinger had a tough afternoon in Herxhiam Germany against a strong quartet from the host nation Germany, Denmark and Sweden.

Although the British boys only ended up with a 7 point score, all the boys enjoyed the occasion and learnt from the experience.

Quotes from the riders –

Bacon – “Learnt a lot and was right in the mix, just needed more experience”

Hume –  “I rode well and was on the pace and in the bunch”

Nielson – “Safe to say I was brought down to earth, I tried my hardest and learnt a lot, just proves that we need more events like this to get more experience on European Tracks and bike set ups”

A British Team will now travel to Nuestade Donau on the 29th April to compete against Germany, Denmark and Poland.
