This week in ` continued from previous spread
American Championship, but his only racing experience in Europe has come while representing his country.
The 18-year-old first travelled with the USA team as reserve last year, and was promoted into the starting line-up when four-time World Champion Greg Hancock withdrew from the Race-Off, seeking to give youth a chance. Becker didn’t score in Manchester that night, but underlined the progress he has made over the past 12 months in Leszno, registering four points and showing superb speed to win his final ride.

pond as he emerges as a future star for the USA. He said: “Last year’s World Cup was the thing that really told me this is what I want to do and what I want to be. “I wouldn’t say I’m stuck in America, but the longer I am over there, I’m not gaining experience in Europe. I’m trying to get over here and get on a team as soon as possible. I’m just looking for
the opportunity, to be honest. “I don’t want to go after the first club that comes in for me. I want to get the right contract and get it right for my first year so that I don’t struggle.
“I’m not eligible right now. Last year I placed sixth in the US Championship, but I’m leading the championship by three points. “We have three rounds to go and if I’m in the top four, then I can get that work visa. That’s the main goal right now.”
THE only remaining unbeaten home record in the SGB Premiership is over after Poole collected a 48-44 win at Wolverhampton on Monday. The Pirates fought back from a ten-point deficit to overhaul a Wolves side who were hampered by the loss of Kyle Howarth in a horror crash in Heat 6.
