GREAT Britain star Tom Brennan has been dubbed a “speedway workaholic” – after racing in an incredible 109 meetings last year.
The Ipswich newcomer topped the listings compiled by Polish news source sportowefatky.wp.pl , which analysed the activities of around 1,370 riders worldwide.
For the 2024 season Brennan, who rode for Birmingham and Poole in the UK, also competed extensively on the continent, visiting a total of 40 tracks.
He admitted: “It was a pretty big year for me. Busy is always good, you want to stay on the bike as much as possible and I think that paid off.
“I have to say that it’s only possible thanks to the brilliant team around me. My mechanics do an amazing job to allow me just to race.”
Brennan’s haul of 109 meetings left him well clear at the top, whilst former multiple winner Chris Harris was next in line on 91 with the King’s Lynn newcomer and Glasgow captain racing 91 events including his Long Track schedule.
Belle Vue’s German youngster Norick Blodorn was third on the list with 90 ahead of Leicester duo Sam Masters (88) and Max Fricke (86), Masters’ total also including his outings for Oxford.
Meanwhile King’s Lynn’s Jan Kvech was the “greatest globetrotter”, as the Czech Republic star raced in meetings in no fewer than eleven countries.
