Chris bombs in for Phils farewell

TEAM GB Captain and Grand Prix star Chris Harris is a confirmed starter for the Phil Morris Farewell meeting at Birmingham on Thursday September 1. The Belle Vue Ace accepted an invitation from Morris to ride in the meeting when the pair were in Poland for last week’s Speedway World Cup.  The popular Cornishman said: “I’m delighted to accept Phil’s invitation to ride in his farewell meeting. “We have always got on well over the years and it’s good to see him helping youth speedway in this country.” Another rider confirmed for the meeting is Birmingham’s Ulrich Ostergaard.  ‘The Big O’ gained cult-hero status during his time at Phil’s former club Reading in 2008 and is looking forward to seeing the many Racers fans who will be making the journey up to the meeting. Speaking on the double rider confirmation, Morris said: “I was over the moon when Bomber said he could make it, as I know he has a very busy schedule.  “His performance in the World Cup showed he is still one of the best riders in the world. “Whilst Ulrich is a spectacular rider, I remember him winning the final ever meeting at Reading’s Smallmead Stadium in 2008. “The Racers fans are very special to me and I know they loved the season he had with them.” PHIL MORRIS RACING Website – http://www.philmorris.info Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Phil-Morris-Farewell-Meeting/230570440291934 Twitter - http://twitter.com/philm_farewell
