My guest in this episode is Chris Louis. As the son of one of the best known riders of the 1970s, former British Champion and World number 3 John Tiger Louis, the sport was always going to be in his blood.

And Chris very much followed in his dad’s footsteps by himself becoming British Champion and reaching number 3 in the world.

He was also captain of what many believe to be British Speedway best ever team, Ipswich side of 1998. A team which featured Tomaz Gollob and world champion of that year Tony Rickardsson. They went on to claim an unprecedented league and cup treble.

He rode in the Speedway Grand Prix series from its early days including being part of the very first Cardiff GP.

Since his riding days his involvement with the Witches has continued as team manager, and now co-promotor of the team.

Chris is also now at the top table of the sport in the UK as a director of British Speedway Promoters Ltd.

And as well as getting to know more about Chris’s career, we’ll also discover what his dream meeting would look like, and who would make his dream team..!
