Dan Bewley was crowned the 2024 British Champion in front of a near sell-out crowd at the National Speedway Stadium on Saturday night.
The now triple British Champion locked horns with fellow Grand Prix regular Tai Woffinden in a thrilling concluding heat in which he got the better of the three-time world champion.
Bewley became the first rider since Woffinden’s reign in 2013-2015 to win three consecutive British titles and was naturally delighted at his achievement.
He said: “Three in a row is just awesome, and it’s such a cool meeting to come to. It’s one of the biggest meetings of the year for us, so to get three in a row is still surreal.
“Tai has got three in a row so for me to match that is pretty cool. He was in front in the Final and I knew it was going to be difficult to make something happen.
“But I just thought if I could stay on his back wheel and hope a door opens, and a little one did and I got through.”
Woffinden added: “It was good to be back in the British Final. Of course, I’d have liked to go one better but fair play to Dan, he found a way past me in the final and congratulations to him.
“I could’ve stopped his run but it would’ve been a pretty hard move if I had and I’m always one to give a racer room and he took the opportunity.”
