Speedway Star

A PAID maximum for new Premiership club King’s Lynn is an early indication that Aussie up-and-comer Josh Pickering is on the path to greater things this season. In this week’s edition, the Stars captain and Edinburgh heat leader reveals: “When you work hard for something and when it doesn’t happen for you, it’s disheartening but drives me on even more. My focus and the pressure I put on myself has shifted. All I wanted last year was to do good for Edinburgh. I’m everywhere I want to be right now. I’ve changed my focus now on managing to score consistently in both leagues. The pressure has lifted which is nice. But there’s a different pressure which is a lot more controllable. That’s why I’ve been having some good meetings. I’m still entitled to have some bad ones, that’s speedway, you can’t win them all.”
