Former Workington Comets number one Connor Bailey says he’s optimistic about Redcar Bears’ chances in the Championship this season.
Bailey and the Bears face Workington Comets tonight in the Northern section of the BSN Series at the ECCO Arena (7.30pm).
The Bears were beaten at Scunthorpe last week and will be racing at home for the first time in 2024, whilst the Comets have been inactive since their Border Trophy defeat to Berwick on Easter Sunday.
British Under-21 Champion Connor Bailey is optimistic about the Bears’ chances this year and believes not too much should be written into that result at the Eddie Wright Raceway.
He said: “I have no concerns with my own performance, I’ve only had the one meeting with Redcar so I’m just bedding in and at Scunthorpe, the track was tricky so the focus is now about getting dialled in at home.
“Charles (Wright) was superb but I was really impressed with Ben (Trigger) and Jason (Edwards) who rode really well and attacked the track, especially Ben as it was his first meeting as a Redcar rider which is a really good sign.”
Wright is an ex-Comet who has gone on to great things since starting off as a raw reserve for Workington at Derwent Park.
