Belle Vue set their sights on the top after Wolves victory
BELLE Vue a looking to move to the top of the league in what is a busy week for the Aces.
They head into today’s clash with Wolverhampton at Monmore Green third in the British Premiership table behind top-flight newcomers Rye House and leaders Poole, who hold a mere four-point advantage over their closest rivals.
With the two southern clubs not in action until Saturday - when they meet each other - and with Belle Vue facing three meetings this week, the Aces are in a prime position to shake up the standings.
After beating last year’s champions Wolves on Good Friday, the Aces head to Wolverhampton full of confidence.
“This campaign has got off to such a magical start for us,” says Belle Vue boss Mark Lemon. “Of course the league isn’t won in April but this team is just so good. They rode brilliantly last week and they deserved every point.
“We knew that the Wolves would put up a tough fight. It’s easy to say that what they did to us in last year’s Grand Final is just history, but there is always that satisfaction of getting one over them.
“Now I want us to go down to Monmore and finish the job. I anticipate another challenging night though. Wolves have yet to be defeated at home and they have some real track experts in their side.
“Freddie Lindgren, Sam Masters and Jacob Thorssell are very strong characters in their team but I believe we have equally strong capabilities at their circuit, as we’ve proved many times before.”
