London Riders' Championship

London Riders' Championship

The London Riders' Championship was an individual speedway competition for top riders of teams from London. It was a very prestigious competition, especially in its early days. However, as the number of teams from London dwindled, so did interest in the competition. [ Jacobs, Norman (2001). "Speedway in London". ISBN 0-7524-2221-9 ] [Belton, Brian (2003). "Hammerin' Round".
