PREVIEW: BELLE VUE v SHEFFIELD (ROWE MOTOR OIL PREM) – British Speedway Official Website
Belle Vue and Sheffield face a Bank Holiday double-header in the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership, with meetings in Manchester at midday and Sheffield at 7.30pm. The fixtures matter because Belle Vue can secure top spot before the play-offs by winning the aggregate point, while Sheffield are seeking results to confirm a top-four finish.
Belle Vue are at full strength, with World Cup winners Brady Kurtz and Jason Doyle returning alongside manager Mark Lemon. Sheffield will use former Belle Vue riders as guests: Ben Cook replaces the injured Jack Holder in Manchester, and Max Fricke rides at Owlerton. Belle Vue lead the league, while two further wins are expected to be enough for Sheffield to secure their play-off place.
- Belle Vue can seal league leadership with the aggregate point.
- Sheffield need wins to secure a play-off place.
- Both clubs race home and away on Bank Holiday Monday.
