Jaimon Lidsey is the 2018 Under-21 Australian Speedway Champion after battling warm conditions and two re-runs to claim the title at Olympic Park Speedway, Mildura.  Lidsey was the pick of the riders, winning all five of his heat races and then going on to win a crash riddled A-Final to complete the perfect championship. Lidsey shared; ”Absolutely thrilled with the result, but during the day I was nervous and spent the day in bed but once I got to the track everything just clicked, which was pretty handy on a night like that,” the new Under-21 champion said. Kye Thomson was the surprise packet of the championship, claiming second in the A-Final and grabbing a lot of people’s attention. Zaine Kennedy took a fall in the second re-run of the A-Final and finished in third position, whilst Jordan Stewart crashed in the original A-Final and finished the night in fourth position. In a new-era for the Under-21 class the racing was world class, all the riders were pushing it to the limit and riding on the edge. Race Referee, Brendan Gledhill added; “ The racing was great, Lidsey was the pick of the riders on what was a really competitive field, also hats off to the track staff for their tireless work over the championship,” he said. 2018 Under-21 Australian Speedway Championship Results: A-Final– Lidsey, Thomson, Kennedy and Stewart
