World No.2 Brady Kurtz rests from Belle Vue’s Premiership Knockout Cup trip to Sheffield tonight after withdrawing due to illness.
Despite scoring 12 points from five rides when the sides met at the National Speedway Stadium on Monday evening, Kurtz reportedly struggled through Aces’ 48-42 win and has been ruled out of the Owlerton clash.
His place is taken by triple British champion Chris Harris, who guests for the Manchester club.
With Kurtz absent due to illness, he now faces a mandatory seven-day suspension, meaning he is also ruled out of Belle Vue’s home and away matches with Leicester on Easter Monday.
