TAI Woffinden is the latest big name star to agree to ride in the forthcoming Phil Morris Farewell Meeting.The event is set to take place at Birmingham on Thursday 1st September and Woffinden’s inclusion means that all five members of the Great Britain team that rode in the recent World Cup Race-Off will be taking part.

The Wolverhampton favourite will join fellow Brits Chris Harris, Edward Kennett, Ben Barker and Lewis Bridger at the Perry Barr stadium, along with the earlier announced Lee Richardson and Ulrich Ostergaard.Morris is naturally delighted with the addition of Woffinden to his big night line-up. He said: “Tai is a sensational rider who is just going to get better and better. “I was over the moon when he said would ride in my farewell meeting.”

Another rider who has agreed to take part in the event is former Reading Racer Zdenek ‘Sam’ Simota. The Czech Republic star is keen to put himself in the shop window for a 2011 team spot. Morris added: “I know Sam from our time in the 2007 squad at Reading.“He is a rider who was very popular at Smallmead and has appeared as a track reserve in the Czech Republic Grand Prix.“I am really pleased he is coming over for my meeting.”
