steve roberts Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) Okay this is personal request based on my last visit to a speedway in 2004 (for reasons I have often cited on here) but I'd be interested to know who was riding during my last year and still riding today? Scott Nicholls and Nikki Pedersen are an obvious examples but are there many others out there? Any names would be greatly appreciated.

iris123 Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) Mirko Wolter. Smoli. Stephan Katt, but not sure if he is only doing Longtrack now Quite a few of the Danes would have been riding at some level. Junior for instance. But i did see Nicolai Klindt in 2004 in what was his debut year on a 500cc. Leon Madsen in the same meeting Edited May 8, 2023 by iris123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
