SWINDON Robins duo Charles Wright and Stefan Nielsen have been drawn together to race in the British Semi-Finals later this month.

Wright, 27, and 21-year-old Nielsen will both ride in the second semi at Glasgow on Sunday, May 15, where seven-time British champion Scott Nicholls is the headline act in the 16-man field. The first semi-final takes place at Scunthorpe two days earlier.

Seven qualifying places are available from each meeting, with two wild cards to then be selected to complete the line-up for the British Final, which will be held at the new National Speedway Stadium at Belle Vue on Monday, June 13.

Scunthorpe promoter and BSPA vice-chairman Rob Godfrey said: “I'm sure we will see two very competitive meetings at Glasgow and Scunthorpe and I can speak for both tracks when I say it's a massive honour to be hosting these semi-finals.”
