Former Wightlink Islanders rider, Mark Baseby is set to return to the Isle of Wight with the Wightlink Warriors in 2016.
27-year-old Mark, who last rode on the Island in 2012 and has always been popular both on and off the track, said:
“I am delighted to announce my return to the Island under the new promotion of Barry and Martin. It’s a track that I always enjoy racing on, as it’s fair to say I am not the best trapper in the business, but the big wide open spaces of Smallbrook gives us a chance to have a right good go!

“So all in all, an exciting year ahead. Now it’s time to start preparing in the workshop to make sure that I’m fully ready for our first meeting in the spring.”
Talking about Mark’s return to Smallbrook, Commercial Director Barry Bishop said:
“Martin and I are delighted to see Mark back at Smallbrook. Both he and Brendan have a wealth of knowledge to help the team quickly get to grips at home and away and we look forward to watching our team gel together. Everyone knows that Mark always provides great entertainment for fans and our big track suits his riding style. We cannot wait to watch him blasting around Smallbrook. Welcome to the Warriors Mark.”
