SPEEDWAY 1

GREAT Britain boss Neil Middleditch has called up former Grand Prix star Chris Louis for tonight''s world cup final with Australia, Sweden and Denmark at Reading.

Louis comes in for Simon Stead and Middleditch admitted it was a tough decision.

''Simon didn''t make starts in the race-off and at this level you can''t afford that,'' he said. ''Chris Louis is a trapper and hopefully he will show me that on Saturday.''

BRITISH Speedway bosses are urging fans to keep hold of their rain-off tickets for the Premier League Pairs.
