Great Britain’s Sam Hagon confirmed for Ikon Suspension International Speedway Masters
Power Production Media Release 31 July 2024
Reigning British Under 21 Champion Sam Hagon is the latest international rider to be added to the field for the much anticipated Ikon Suspension International Speedway Masters.
The nineteen year old, from Waltham Abbey in England, will contest the Leigh Adams Medal, for 500cc solos, on night two (December 28) of the ISM24.
Hagon is a third-generation speedway rider, following in the tyre tracks of his Grandfather, Alf, and his Father, Martin, while his Uncle is former top British rider, Martin Dugard.
Sam rode in Australia last summer, basing himself at Mildura’s Olympic Park Speedway, and he benefited greatly from spending plentiful time on the bike, during the traditional UK/European off season.
The experience he gained racing Down Under last term provided the youngster with a massive confidence boost, underlined by his victory in the 2024 British Under 21 Championship and gaining selection in the Speedway of Nations 2 side for Great Britain. Also, he was able to secure team spots in all three British League Competitions, with Leicester, Poole and Belle Vue.
In addition to lining up in the Ikon Suspension International Speedway Masters (incorporating the Leigh Adams Medal), at Gillman Speedway on December 28, Sam Hagon will also contest the Phil Crump Solo Classic, on Sunday Night, December 29, at Olympic Park Speedway, Mildura.
Hagon’s inclusion in the Gillman event, is a further example of the “spirit of co-operation” that exists between organisers of the ISM24 and Mildura Motorcycle Club, as both entities continue to work closely together in the best interests of motorcycle speedway in Australia.
Further rider announcements will be made in coming days.
