Bronze For GB In Lonigo

Great Britain completed a successful season of international racing with third place in Sunday’s FIME European Pairs Final at Lonigo – their first ever medal in the event.

Birmingham and Poole star Tom Brennan, who had scored a maximum in the qualifier, was again in superb form with 16 points from six rides.

Brennan received support from Leon Flint (5+1 from four) and Dan Thompson (2 from two) as GB finished four points adrift of winners Denmark, and comfortably ahead of the teams outside the top three.

Their 23-point total left them in a tie with holders Poland, but Brennan lost out to Bartlomiej Kowalski in a run-off for silver.

Edinburgh captain Paco Castagna scored nine for the fifth-placed host nation Italy, whilst Belle Vue duo Norick Blodorn and Antti Vuolas (also Workington) scored eight and 4+1 as their nations finished seventh and fourth respectively.
