Gabriel Dubernard in place of David Howe

British rider David Howe won’t take part of 2012 FIM Long-Track World Championship Finale 4 and 5.

2012 FIM Long-Track Team World Championship best british scorer had a heavy crash after heat 14 of St Macaire meeting where his front wheel kept off his fork. Broken ribs and left shoulders injuries on top of right shoulder problem left him no choice…

He still tried to ride for British Elite League  King’s Lynn this week but too much pain for him. Too bad for this speedway rider who completes his first year in FIM Long-Track World Championship.

After the withdrawal of David Howe, French rider Gabriel Dubernard is the next one on the substitute list and will wear race jacket n°22 for the 2012 FIM World Long-Track Championship finale 4, this week-end in Gronigen and finale 5 next week in Marmande.

Gabriel Dubernard, 24 years old, welcomes this appointment with great joy and is ready to defend its colors.
