The FIM Ride Green Team Gains a Seventh Environmental Ambassador! The FIM Ride Green Team gains a seventh Environmental Ambassador! Representing both genders and different cultures, motorcycling disciplines and geographical areas, this unusual team of top riders will lend their voices to convey the FIM’s sustainability policy and help to safeguard the future of the sport. These top athletes are at the service of humanity and the future generations. They have been invited by the FIM to be leaders and play a major role in the contribution made by our sport to a greener and more sustainable world. Since 2013 the Ride Green Ambassadors team, composed of Randy de Puniet (France, SBK), Laia Sanz ( Spain, Enduro and Rally), Marc Márquez ( Spain, Moto GP World champion), Alex Salvini ( Italy, Enduro) and Valentino Rossi ( Italy, MotoGP) and Takahisa Fujinami (Japan, trial), have been making a big contribution to the sport. Greg was born on 3 June 1970 in Whittier California. Greg and his wife Jennie currently live in Costa Mesa, California and Norrtalje Sweden. They have three boys, Wilbur, Bill, and Karl. Greg started in junior speedway in Southern California and made his British debut with the Cradley Heathens in 1989. He is the 1997, 2011, and 2014 FIM World Speedway Champion, 1992 FIM World Pairs Champion, 1992, 1993, and 1998 FIM World Team Cup Champion and 8 times AMA National Speedway Champion. In winning the Championship in 2014, Greg became the oldest title winner, at 44 years 130 days. Greg has also won League Championships in the Czech Republic, Denmark, Poland, Sweden, and England. Greg’s riding number is 45 which he took after his mentor and two times FIM Speedway World Champion Bruce Penhall retired. Greg currently rides for Motola Piraterna in the Swedish Elitserien and PGE Stal Rzeszow in the Polish Ekstraliga. Greg Hancock commented: “To become as a member of this programme as the 7th ambassador is a wonderful opportunity to complete my sport career. I believe that as athletes, we have a duty to society to give something back as a part of our social responsibility. The FIM ambassadors programme will give to me the opportunity to do my bit and inspire my fans and speedway followers to respect the planet. Through this sport, we can build a better future. I have three children and I’m concerned about their future. As on the track, I will do my utmost to contribute through the FIM sustainability policy. It’s a great honour to share this team with this elite group of riders: Laia, Marc, Randi, Alex, Vale and Fuji, here we go and Ride Green!” Paul Bellamy, managing director, BSI Speedway added: “Congratulations to Greg Hancock on this honour. I am delighted that the FIM have recognised our speedway World Champion in this way. I am sure Greg will be a great ambassador for this project.” Katia Juarez Hernandez, Director FIM International Environment Commission concluded: “After three years working with the Ride Green team, we can confirm the greater awareness achieved in our community through the work done by these fantastic athletes. Raising awareness is not easy, especially on topics not immediately associated with the sport but still crucial for its future. Now with the arrival of the seventh ambassador, Greg, the world of sustainable sport has its own seven wonders! And we can expect to see still more inspiration amongst our fans thanks to the messages conveyed by these exceptional riders.” ********* About Ride Green: Ride green is an overall concept used by the International Federation to promote its sustainability policy. The FIM Sustainability policy is very broad and includes the International Environment Commission, Programmes to organise sustainable events, education and training for Environmental Stewards, environmental education for younger riders, environmental educational messages supported by environmental ambassadors, outreach, working in coordination with other sports federations, mitigation measures included in the Environmental Code, communication programmes, campaigns to reduce noise levels and awareness campaigns, amongst others. .

  • Tragedy - Kenny Carter by Tony Mcdonald
    Book Extract: Tragedy - Kenny Carter By Tony McDonald Once again we're delighted to have teamed up with publishers Retro Speedway, who have produced the brand new Kenny Carter 272-page biography, entitled TRAGEDY. It is the harrowing story of the former England No.1 who shocked the speedway world by shooting his wife, Pam, and then turning the gun on himself at their Yorkshire farmhouse on May 21, 1986. Tragedy fully explores the complex, troubled man behind the face mask and reveals the personal heartbreak Carter endured in his sad youth and which no doubt had a bearing on the final, horrible act. Here is an extract from the book, which recalls the first of several very serious injuries Kenny suffered in his desperate attempt to reach the top... You can order TRAGEDY for £15.99 post-free in the UK from www.retro- speedway.com Kenny after snatching victory in the Dews trophy at Halifax from John Louis (left). Ian Cartwright was third. FACING THE PAIN IT was the worst crash they had witnessed at The Shay for many years. At one point, Bonnie Boothroyd, devoted wife of Halifax boss Eric, feared that the Dukes' number one rider had been killed. The night of Saturday, April 4 began ominously for Carter when he suffered an engine failure while leading Birmingham's new star signing Hans Nielsen in the first race. But it was about to get a whole lot worse for him when the respective number ones clashed again in heat 4. This time Kenny's partner, Craig Pendlebury, led from the gate, followed by Nielsen, but Carter was pushing him hard in a determined effort to join his Halifax team-mate at the front.

  • Dream Team : Lee Morris
    Dream Team : Lee Morris After following the Cradley Heathens as a small child until my teen years I moved to Australia in 1982, incidentally my last meeting also turned out to be Bruce Penhall's. My first speedway hero was Bernie Persson, I was lucky to see Cradley transformed from a cinderella club to a glamour club and it's so sad to see the area without a speedway team to follow. These days I am involved in speedway through my son who races in Under 16 events. Local tracks are Gold Coast and North Brisbane and I've just returned from Perth where the Australian under 16 Championships were held. Persson Collins Bernie Persson A local hero who kept the Heathens together in the early seventies. I was only a youngster but remember the huge following he had at Wembley for the 1972 World Final. I still watch that on video as well as the 1973 World Team Cup, also held at Wembley. I met him in Sydney prior to the Australian GP, a true Gentleman. Bruce Penhall What can I say that hasn't already been said? Changed the face of speedway particularly in the Black Country where he brought in the girls. A true great who led the Heathens to their first league title in '81. Provided me with one of my greatest speedway trips ever when he won at Wembley. Saw him ride at the Sydney Showground back in the eighties. Erik Gundersen Not much to choose between Erik and Bruce, in '81 Erik was just as popular at Dudley Wood.
