01 August 2004 - British Speedway Promoters Association

GREAT Britain boss believes the revamped World Cup which starts at Eastbourne on Monday will be the toughest yet.

The tournament has been reduced to eight nations, cutting out the less competitive teams. Britain face Sweden, Poland and Hungary. Middleditch said: ''This week is going to be fantastic. They have cut down the number of teams this year so the competition to make the final will be even tougher.''

MARK Lemon has handed Exeter a timely boos by declaring himself ready to race in the Premier Trophy final with Reading. And the Australian has revealed a strong desire within the Falcons team to win the trophy for Falcons owner Colin Hill. He said: ''We want to win it for Colin as he is battling against serious illness right now. We''ll be doing all we can to do it.''
