Another video posted since then of him winning a heat ahead of Jan Kvech, from what I’ve seen of him so far he seems a good gater, looking forward to him getting started with us I’m sure like almost every other rider he will love our track.

Yeah does look a good gater, smooth on the bike and appears to generate good speed on the inside line. Looking forward to watching him round the GT Tyres Arena.

Yeah first season in UK a big challenge for Fraser. Tate and Antti will have a bit of added pressure also with us only having one experienced heat leader. I would like to think Jacob Hook could kick on and we could see a reinvigorated Jye  Etheridge. Gonna be interesting watching how the wbole team performs in a 2025 Championship that looks a fair bit more competetive than the 24 season with some particularly strong looking teams. One thing for sure, it is gonna be vitally important to win our home meetings as an absolute minimum to have any chance of making the playoffs.

Notice on British Speedway website, Frazer hasnt been given an average. Anybody know what it may be?

Expand  

If you mean on the statistics page I'd guess it's because he hasn't raced any meetings over here yet so won't have a rolling average. When the first green sheet is out he'll have his assessed average on that

Good publicity for the Comets with 25-30 under 16 kids, boys and girls with a GB academy training event, Tom Brennen and Leon Flint helping out. Also a good few minutes on local ITV border news, interviewing couple of the kids, Tom Brennen,  Neil Vatcher and Andrew Bain . Maybe someone clever can post a link

A great two days of training for British riders , (30/32 ) well done to all the track staff and management for hosting  this event along with Neil Vatcher and the GB youth training.

The future looks bright for British speedway going by this event where all the riders seem to learn so much over the two days and got in so much track time.
