Morris’s thoughts on Victory over the Leicester Lions

Victory over the Leicester Lions last night made it ten straight wins for the Swindon Robins, and TotalSport’s Ryan Walker caught up with Nick Morris to get his thoughts on the nights events.

“ We can’t complain about the ten wins in a row, and fair play Leicester stuck it to us tonight.” Began Morris.

“ They had a good team with a few guests that rode really well tonight.

“ We had a bit of a sweat on there for a bit but the main thing is we got the win and it’s ten on the bounce now.” He said.

Three league points gained see’s the Swindon Robins go top of the Premier League table for the first time this season, and Morris admits it’s a good position to be in.

“ It’s a really good place to be, especially at this stage of the season.” Expressed Morris.

“ We’ve got to keep going and try to finish top at the end of the season.

“ We want to be at the top so we can choose who we want to ride against in the playoffs.” He added.

Sporadic downpours of rain in the build-up to the evening’s proceedings saw riders struggle to get to grip with the track, and Morris admits it was a shaky evening on the shale.

“ The track was a little bit different tonight and it didn’t make things easy for us.” Stated the Australian.

“ There were a couple of graveyard gates and that made it difficult.

“ The inside gates weren’t very good and with all the rain we’ve had it was a tough track to ride but we got there in the end.” He said.

After a tough season last year in which Morris struggled to score points, the fan favourite appears a different rider this season scoring double digits for fun. And Morris was modest when asked for his opinion on his upturn in form.

“ I’m not really sure what the difference is this season.” Said Morris.

“ I’ve been riding lots more and I’m super happy with the way things are going.

“ I’m improving lots and thankfully it’s all going well this year. “ He finished.
