German teenager gets late call up at Gillman

November 22, 2019 by Gillman Media

16-year-old German rider Ben Ernst has earned a late call-up for the FIM Oceania Solo Championship at Gillman Speedway tomorrow night.

Ernst, who won the World Under 16 250cc Championship in Poland in 2018, and finished a very close second in this year’s event in Denmark, is replacing another former World Under 16 250cc Champion, New South Wales rider Matthew Gilmore, who has failed to get a medical clearance following an injury received in the Victorian Championship earlier this month.
