THE line-up has been confirmed for the British Semi-Final at Leicester’s Hydroscand Arena on Sunday (June 21, 3pm).
Six qualifying places are available for the British Final which takes place at Belle Vue on Saturday August 15, with eight riders having been seeded to that meeting. They will be joined by two wild cards to be confirmed prior to the British Final.
Home representation on Sunday comes from Lions regulars Kyle Howarth, Drew Kemp and Joe Thompson, along with Lion Cubs youngster Ryan Ingram.
From the original draw made on Monday, Ben Barker has been ruled out due to injury, with Ingram coming in to replace him, whilst Cooper Rushen has been withdrawn as his travel arrangements from his European Under-19 semi-final on Saturday do not enable him to get back to Leicester in time. His place will be taken by Jake Mulford.
DRAW: 1 Jake Mulford, 2 Jordan Jenkins, 3 Kyle Howarth, 4 Will Cairns, 5 Jason Edwards, 6 Ryan Ingram, 7 Nathan Ablitt, 8 Ace Pijper, 9 Luke Harrison, 10 Joe Thompson, 11 Kyle Newman, 12 Simon Lambert, 13 Anders Rowe, 14 Connor Mountain, 15 Luke Killeen, 16 Drew Kemp.
SEEDED TO BRITISH FINAL: Dan Bewley, Tom Brennan, Chris Harris, Danny King, Leon Flint, Charles Wright, Dan Thompson, Craig Cook.
