WORRALL ENJOYING LIFE ON THE ROAD AS HE MAKES PETERBOROUGH MOVE
16/02/2023
British racer Richie Worrall insists he loves life on the road as he makes Peterborough the 15th British club of his career.
Worrall lines up for Panthers in the SGB Premiership, where he joins the likes of SGP2 rider Benjamin Basso, Aussie star Ben Cook and Rising Star reserve Jordan Jenkins.
Prior to 2023, Worrall had represented Belle Vue, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Ipswich, King’s Lynn, Lakeside, Leicester, Newcastle, Poole, Scunthorpe, Sheffield, Somerset and Stoke across British speedway’s three divisions.
He has now followed his SGB Championship move to 14th UK club Plymouth by joining Peterborough. While some riders prefer to stay at one club for as long as possible, the St Helens-born star clearly isn’t averse to a change of scenery.
The 31-year-old said: “I always like a new challenge, and you can see that from my career so far because I’ve moved around, and I like to ride different tracks. It makes you a better rider, to be able to ride them all.
“I guess it’s a bit of a selling point for me that I know all the places, I’m not green, and I’ve definitely got my stronger tracks and my weaker ones – but so has everybody apart from Doyley (Jason Doyle)!
“I felt like I had a strong year at Leicester last season, I know King’s Lynn as well, and I’m really excited about this year.”
Worrall is pleased to be linking up with the Panthers. He added: “I had a couple of good matches at Peterborough last year, and they were always a strong choice of mine. It’s worked out exactly how I wanted, and I’m really happy about it.
“I’m really looking forward to the team and working with the other boys. There are some exciting names there to be working with and riding with, and I have a good mechanic working with me, so that’s going to make life a lot easier.
“I’ve got a good outlook on things. I’ve just become a dad. I’ve got a little boy now so that changes things mentally and it gives you a reason why for a lot of things. It’s all positive for me, and I’m really looking forward to this year.”
