GLASGOW Tigers boss Cami Brown believes he has a team built for “pure excitement” for 2026.
The Allied Vehicles Tigers have revealed their line-up for next season in the Cab Direct Championship which includes a return to Ashfield for Chris Harris, Kyle Howarth, Leon Flint and Freddy Hodder.
There are also potential new stars in Danish-born Kevin Juhl Pedersen, German rider Mario Hausl and double British under-21 champion Sam Hagon.
Brown said: “This is the team we wanted for 2026. It’s a fabulous mix of youth and experience plus so much entertainment. It’s a side of pure excitement.
“The Facenna family, who own this club, want to put on a show home and away. We believe this team will do that.”
Brown added: “We are delighted to bring back Chris, Kyle, Leon and Freddy. They delivered so many awesome races in 2025, they give 100 per cent in every race.
“Chris was deservedly named Rider of the Year and continues to be the best captain and No 1 in the league.
“Kyle had a sensational first season with us and, with a year of experience at Ashfield under his belt, we believe he can deliver even more.
“Leon stepped it up big time last season. We love his passion and there’s definitely more levels for him and Freddy produced some epic rides. There’s more progress to come from both Leon and Freddy.”
The new boys are already highly-decorated and Brown said: “It’s sensational that we can bring in Mario who won a gold medal for Germany in the Speedway of Nations 2 last year. He’s one of the hottest prospects in world speedway.
“Kevin is a proven scorer on the continent picking up silver in the Danish Junior Championship for individual and team three years ago.
“Sam is a great young rider. He has won the British under-21 championship for the past two years, both at Ashfield.
“This is a really great team and we think they will produce great racing for the fans. Bring on 2026.”
