Round 4 of the 2025 FIM Flat Track World Championship in Scheessel, Germany, proved to be a landmark day for British riders, with Tim Neave (GASGAS) storming to a superb third place podium finish in the Grand Final. He was joined in the top 10 by Jack Bell (Triumph) in 7th and wild card Thomas Hunt (Yamaha) in 10th – an impressive showing that underlined the depth of British flat track talent.
While America’s defending champion Sammy Halbert dominated the day with an unbeaten run to victory, the British contingent stole plenty of attention. Neave looked strong throughout the Heats and fought bar-to-bar with Argentina’s Santiago Arangio in the Grand Final before sealing third behind Halbert and Italy’s Kevin Corradetti.
Jack Bell delivered a consistent performance, claiming valuable points with a 7th-place finish, while debutant Thomas Hunt impressed in only his first World Championship appearance, progressing directly to the Grand Final and finishing a solid 10th.
With two rounds remaining, the British riders head into the final stages of the championship full of confidence and momentum. The next round will be held in Vasad, Hungary, on 13th September.
