Fricke reserve for 2017 Speedway GP
Young speedway gun Max Fricke will be a reserve rider in next year's FIM Speedway Grand PrixCurrent World Speedway Under 21 Champion, Max Fricke, has been confirmed as one of three permanent reserve riders for the 2017 FIM Speedway Grand Prix.
It's an exciting prospect for the rider from Mansfield, Victoria, who has previously claimed three Australian Speedway Under 21 championships and has enjoyed a successful year racing in Sweden, Denmark, Poland and the UK.
Fricke said he was humbled by the announcement.
"It is a great privilege to be thought of as a Grand Prix rider and is a great honour to be in the same company of the other [GP] riders.
"There's always the possibility of a rider getting injured. If there is a chance of getting a ride in the season, that would be a dream come true.
"There's a slim chance I will get a ride throughout the year and possibility I won't, but even just to be thought of in that company of riders is amazing."
Fricke has also confirmed he will again be contesting the 2017 World Speedway Under 21 title in the 500cc Senior Class.
