Ricky Wells, in Poland looking for a team

Edinburgh Monarchs racer Ricky Wells is logging the miles across Europe this week in search of a slot in a Polish team.

The New Zealand-born rider earned fourth place in the Cumbrian Open at Workington on Saturday.

Then he jetted to Denmark to collect some machinery before driving to Poland.

There he trialled in one of the challenge fixtures the Polish teams stage pre-season.

He rode for Rawicz away from home against Pila and scored an impressive seven points, including a race win.

Now the 26-year-old, two-time American under-21 national champion rides in the return match at Rawicz.

A similar performance could earn him a team spot.
