LEICESTER Speedway’s Thompson twins are officially sweet 16!
Dan and Joe, who are earmarked for a place in the Watling JCB Lions Championship side when the season can eventually start, are both popular figures at the club.
Team boss Stewart Dickson said: “We would like to wish both Dan and Joe a very happy 16th birthday.
“I have every confidence in their ability and believe they can benefit from riding alongside experienced riders like Nick Morris and Kyle Howarth in our team, riders who have international experience.
“I remain hopeful and confident that we will get to see them riding for us later this summer or Autumn when we can stage speedway at Leicester again.
“I’m sure it’s a strange birthday in so many ways, one they will never forget!”
