GREAT Britain under-21s secured a rostrum finish with third place in Friday’s Speedway of Nations 2 event at Vojens.
Belle Vue and Glasgow racer Tom Brennan was one of the outstanding performers in the Under-21 meeting, scoring 20 points in the qualifiers with Drew Kemp adding eight as GB edged out Latvia on countback.
But they lost out to the Czech Republic in the Grand Final Qualifier, with Poland going on to take the title.
Brennan said: “For me to have a good night is great, but it’s all about the team. Drew Kemp did a fantastic job as well. Leon Flint was on standby. He didn’t get a ride, but he was there ready and we had his encouragement.
“For us, it was great to get third place. That’s fantastic. These boys will have to fight harder without me next year because I will be too old to race in this, but hopefully they can go that next step.”
The senior Final takes place tonight (Saturday) with GB going in as defending champions.
