Speedway in England

As a huge fan of speedway I had to see the competition in England. In Manchester we have Belle Vue Aces Speedway club and this year is the 80th anniversary of speedway in Belle Vue. Mariusz and me decided to see how everything looks here. We were a little bit shocked, at the beginning we couldn't find stands ;] So we found a great place on the grass, from where we were watching the tournament. We saw world class riders like: Jason Crump, Scott Nicholls, Leigh Adams, Joe Screen, Charlie Gjedde and young talents: Jurica Pavlic, Tai Woffinden ,Patrick Hougaard and Lewis Bridger. The competition was great, in every heat there was a lot of fights, battles, overtakes. The atmosphere on the stadium was very pleasantness and we really liked this kind of doing speedway.
