No work permit for Larsen.

Belle Vue have been rocked by the Department of Employment refusing them a work permit for Josh Larsen.

The American was set to return to British Speedway after a four year absence but that is now on hold.

A spokesman said: "We will be appealing the decision and have the backing of Chris Van Straaten. He is still a rider of International standing and we are hopeful."
